LONDON: Notting Hill
When one thinks of Switzerland it’s usually with thoughts of skiing, banking and chocolate. Angeline Suppiger adds a new thought to the mix, RED HOT sexy top SWISS model. That’s right. Putting a dent in the Eastern Euro model mafia, she has traveled and worked with brands around the globe.
Where are you from and how did you get started in modeling?
“I’m born and raised in Switzerland. I’m part of a big family with two sisters and one brother. When I was a little girl, I always loved to wear my mother’s clothes and I pretended to be a model. At 17 I signed my first contract with one of the biggest model agencies from Switzerland. A few weeks later I shot my first big campaign for a jewelry brand.”
Where have you traveled for work and which is your favorite?
“I love to work as a model because I’m able to travel the world! I had jobs and shoots in Majorca, Barcelona, London, Los Angeles, Germany, Austria… I’m moving to Los Angeles at the end of 2015. So many opportunities, creative people and great jobs. I’m really looking forward to the California life.”
What does your diet and exercise routine look like day to day?
“I go for a run two times a week and do exercises at the gym three times a week. I try to eat healthy and fresh food, but I’m a pizza and pasta lover and I can’t resist chocolate. And that’s totally okay as long as I keep the balance with sports and food.”
Favorite dessert?
“Chocolate cake. I’m from Switzerland and we love chocolate!”
Favorite beverages either alcoholic or non-alcoholic?
“I drink about three liters water per day. But I’m also a coffee lover. My day starts after the first coffee.”
What do you like about modeling?
“Traveling, meeting creative and passionate people, working in big teams. Every day is different and everything can happen.”
Any aspects of modeling you don’t agree with?
“There are people who think that all models are stupid. They think that we don’t have to do anything besides smiling at the camera. I used to study economics and I know so many smart and intelligent models and that’s why I really hate that prejudice stereotyping.”
Sleep habits?
“In my opinion sleep is very important for good skin and a healthy body. I try to sleep at least 7 hours per night.”
What’s your idea of good model behavior vs. bad model behavior/habits?
“That’s hard to answer. But I think to be a good model it’s important to stay focused everyday and in every thing you do. A model must take care of her body, not smoke, not drink too often, exercise or play sports and eat healthy.”
What fashion or commercial brands have you worked with?
“ELDONA – LINGERIE, RHOMBERG – JEWELRY, BLACKOUT – FASHION, TA-BOU – BEACHWEAR, LA PERLA – LINGERIE, SUE MOXLEY LONDON – MAKE UP, LOTHAR DANIEL BECHTOLD – FASHION, NATHALIE SCHWEIZER – BEACHWEAR, RISQUE-BOUTIQUE, – LINGERIE, SIX PAYMENT SERVICES, ARTEMEDIC, GRASSO OPTIK – GLASSES, LALIBELLA – BEACHWEAR, MANOR -FASHION, SAW CLOTHING, COMPANYS.CH – FASHION & HEELSPASSION – SHOES.”
Notable publications or magazines?
“Vogue Italy, GQ Romania, FHM France/Singapore/Spain/Taiwan, Maxim Australia/Indonesia/South Africa, Zink US and many more…”
Any plans for acting in the future?
“As I’m going to live in Los Angeles, I’ll definitely going to be in touch with a lot of actors. In my view, working as a model has a lot to do with acting. I love to play roles in my job and maybe I’ll take some acting classes in California.”
Anything quirky about you?
“I love to skydive, bungee jump, roller coaster and fast cars – I’m kinda an adrenaline junkie!”
