Becoming a professional model is only the first step of many. To build a sustainable career it takes discipline, knowing your boundaries, and having the right people by your side.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Today, we talk with the fashion model Marion Pascale<\/a> and ask her to share her experience when it comes to making it in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting to model during her Graphic Design studies almost by accident, Marion is proud to be now a face of many European and American agencies. In this interview, we talk about her career path, how to become a professional in the field, important aspects to keep a healthy work-life balance, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a lot of pressure on you so it\u2019s super important to find people in the business or outside of it who support you.<\/p>Marion Pascale<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hi Marion, we’re glad to talk to\u00a0you today! Could you shortly introduce yourself?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Hi, my name is Marion Pascale. I am born and raised in Austria and live in Germany now for 5 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did modeling come into your life? Was it something\u00a0you always wanted to do?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Modeling came into my life when I was halfway through my Graphic Design studies. During that time I worked as a waitress. I went with my boyfriend, who studied photography at the same university, to a party at a little agency in Stuttgart. I signed with them, did my first super small regional jobs with them, and started collecting pictures for my model book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I met Jana, my all-time favorite booker, there and together we signed with all the agencies in Europe and a year ago also in NY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What were the key steps you took to become a professional in\u00a0the field?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I would say to become a professional you have to act like one. You have to be a team player on set. Be always on time, never oversleep for a call, and be friendly but still know your boundaries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What also helped me a lot was finding a booker who believed in me, who is loyal and who plans my career for the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a routine that helps you keep in shape for your job? Both physically and mentally?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I try to eat clean, a lot of veggies, good carbs like quinoa, rice, oat or lentils, and some proteins. Workouts are not regular, because my jobs are not regular either, so I try to squeeze in three times of sport a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
