For it girl Colleen Cole, fashion has been a lifelong passion and the ideal platform to showcase her attributes and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
We spoke with the talented young model and this is what she wanted to share:
What inspired you to start modeling?
I was scouted! Never imagined I actually could be a model.
How did you get your start?
I was scouted while working at a veterinary hospital. I was signed with an agency within a week!
Who are your role models in the industry?
Anyone who is using their voice for good.
Describe your first modeling job.
It was a commercial job for a car website. Had so much fun!
What has your favorite modeling job been and why?
Hard to say. I enjoy any job where I get to be creative with my poses and have the opportunity to challenge myself and grow.
Where can we find you? (Billboards, storefronts, any current campaigns, etc.?)
I’ve worked with F21, was in a Fuji film commercial and am on the box for some of their instant cameras. :) Was also in InStyle Magazine once!
Where have you traveled for work? Anywhere in particular that stands out?
I got to go to Mexico to be in a film once. It was a lot of fun!
Describe your career goals.
I just want to take modeling as far as I possibly can while being able to use my platform to promote causes I care about. I also want to continue to enjoy the work I do while getting to travel more and meet new people.
What type of role does Instagram play in your daily life and career?
Instagram provides the some of the best exposure for models. It helps me meet new photographers and potential clients. It also allows me to talk with people about topics I care about.
Today, brands are often looking for multidimensional models that bring another quality or attribute, aside from their beautiful looks, to the table. What do you believe makes you stand out?
My passion for animals.
What’s next?
Not sure but I’m up for anything!
