ROMANIAN BEAUTY IULIA CIRSTEA

LONDON: Belgravia

A fantastic beauty from Pitesti, Romania – now residing in New York.  Iulia Cirstea started modeling at an early age.  Since then, the world has been her oyster.  She jetted out of Romania at the age of 16 to become a top model and grace the covers of such magazines as Elle and Marie Claire.

“When I was 16 I was sent to Milan by my mother agent.  Guess I caught her eye at a casting she did in Pitesti.  She offered me a contract and my parents and I agreed on it.  It turned out to be the beginning of a beautiful journey.”

“My closet right now is full of Helmut Lang and Alexander Wang :). I also like Haider Ackermann, Nicholas K. & Celine.  I find it really hard to pick one as I love most of them but never at the same time :).  I might like Chanel one season and not care so much about it the next.  I guess it all depends on the mood and where I am in that moment.”

“I am a gourmand.  I don’t drink alcohol and I don’t smoke but desserts are definitely my weakness!  i try to eat as healthy as I can but I never refuse myself a treat.  As for working out…  I always seem to find something better to do :).  But when I do it is mostly yoga!”

“My perception has changed a lot since I started…  In the beginning I was very attached to it and I saw everyone as my friend.  I have learned that it is an industry and you should treat it like one.  You need to take care of yourself!  I have started a blog on my website iuliacirstea.com where I talk about it! It’s an introduction to modeling for everyone out there wanting to know more about it from a model’s perspective.”
