New Faces: Ofeli Rapp
Opheli Rapp
|
The daughter of a military man, Ophele Rapp as a child, was forced to travel a lot; for four years of her childhood, a native of the suburb of Paris lived in Tahiti. There she swam a lot and took up taekwondo. Now the girl regrets this - because of the love for the sport, she has very developed muscles, which visually increases the volume. At eighteen, after graduating from the first semester at the university, Opheli worked as a lifeguard in a pool, where a man once approached her and held out a business card. The telephone number and address of the local model agency was indicated on the card. She never dreamed of a career, but she did not like studying biology at the university, and she decided to give it a try. A year later, she joined Trump.
In June 2010, Opheli went to New York, where she worked on several presentations. The model still doubted its capabilities and prospects in the modeling business, but stubbornly prepared for the upcoming spring-summer shows. And her efforts were not in vain: after a languid three-day wait, she learned that she had received exclusives on the Prada show in Milan and Miu Miu in Paris. Six months later, the model went to the castings with more self-confidence, besides, she managed to make friends with other newcomers from France - Julia Frosch and Marie Piavezan. In the new season, she did not sign exclusive contracts, so she laid out in full force on all four Fashion Weeks and did forty-three shows.
Ofeli is known not only for her participation in fashion shows - in the fall she appeared in Mario Testino for the campaign Etro SS'12, and in recent months has appeared on the pages of Dazed & Confused and Italian Vogue.
