Conversations are back!!!

aaduna publisher, bill berry, jr. is re-introducing his chats with creatives who have an intriguing story to share that will broaden readers’ understanding of the world and its people.  The winter 2021-22 issue of aaduna will feature his conversation with Kristyn Elyse, a model and writer who represents the overall ambiance of beauty, intellect, and graciousness that permeates Barcelona. Here is the opening excerpt from the conversation between Elyse and berry.”

 

bb:

Hi Kristyn. Can you share what propelled you to seek a career in the demanding world of modeling and more importantly, describe your childhood that may provide the initial glimpse of circumstances that would propel you towards an eventual career built around sharing one’s physicality, personality, and intellect with the public. 

 

KE:

Hi Bill, thank you for your kind words. I started modeling much later than most girls- when I turned 25. Throughout my life a lot of people told me I should try it due to my height and slim figure, but I was way too self-conscious. I went through a bad break up on my way out of Berlin, and my ex started dating some Instagram model. She was really short and not that pretty, so I thought, well if they’re gonna pay her, they’re gonna fucking pay me. So, I started working. I had an agency in Barcelona, and they got me a few good jobs. I walked in Barcelona Fashion Week for Emma Picanyol, an amazing designer. After that I was obsessed. I decided to move to Manhattan, where all the “real” models and real jobs were.

I don’t think my childhood had anything to do with modeling. It was really just about that breakup and trying to kind of piss him off.
