Hi! My name is Yvonne. I'm a polyglot speaking 5 languages and an Austrian-Chinese third-culture kid who grew up between Europe and China.
Being a model, blogger, fashion editor, and filmmaker in the making, I find myself constantly being surrounded and confronted with beauty and style, which is why I started sharing beauty, fashion, and feminism-related video content in front of the camera instead of behind the scenes. It feels very empowering to share my life, my opinions, and advocate for gender and racial equality.
Besides modeling, what are your hobbies?
I like writing (currently writing my first short film script), doing creative makeup looks, and yoga.
Could you define yourself in three words?
Creative, determined, optimistic.
What was the first breakout of your modeling career?
Yet to come.
What’s your current obsession?
Ancient Chinese makeup history, e.g. throughout the changes of the various dynasties there has been a shift of beauty standards and according to that, a great shift of extravagant and quirky makeup traditions.
What's the soundtrack of your life?
Probably a rap song, I'd say "Seeing Green" by Nicki.
A movie that changed your life?
El abrazo de la serpiente. It further strengthened my belief in my own intuition. Everyone should have seen this film.
What would you be doing in life if you weren't modeling?
I would still be doing fashion styling and blogging.
Who is your favorite female model you look up to?
I love Du Juan. She really is the OG.
Show us if you have any tattoos and what's their meanings.
I don't have any. I have yet to come across a motive that I desperately want to have engraved on me.
When and where was the first time you walked the runway?
I barely walk the runway, but the first time would be for the recent Ottolinger FW2021 campaign.
What’s one quality every model should have according to you?
Confidence. Even if you have to fake it sometimes.
Which living person do you most admire?
Aung San Suu Kyi.
Which woman would you dream to have dinner with?
As I really doubt the possibility to ever have dinner with Aung San Suu Kyi, I'm gonna go with Beyoncé.
What is the quality you most like in someone else?
Integrity, altruism, loyalty.
What is your perfect idea of happiness?
A Buddhist temple somewhere recluse. Or could be anywhere, leading a simple material life, knowing that happiness is a fleeting concept, but also accepting the richness and the austerity of life.
What’s your definition of beauty?
Beauty means inspiration for me, which is why it is ever-changing, exciting, revolutionary, transcending, powerful, rule-breaking, and sometimes even disturbing. Beauty can be found in so many people, places, and little things, the appreciation of beauty is a true gift.
