Mulan Itoje is the latest person to join me on behalf of Pop Culture Spin for an interview. Mulan has a strong presence in front of the camera – hopefully this interview gives you the opportunity to learn more about her and why she’s an individual worth following. Check my Q&A with Mulan below as we discuss her modeling work, upcoming\u00a0projects, and more.<\/p>\n

Pop Culture Spin: Mulan, thank you for having this interview with my website. To start, what initially made you interested in modeling?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I enjoy all things creative but especially\u00a0photography,\u00a0the way images are captured and can be interpreted. A picture is worth a thousand words.<\/p>\n

PCS: Where are you from and is that the same location where you\u2019re based at the moment?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I’m a\u00a0born and raised Londoner\u00a0currently living\u00a0in London.<\/p>\n

PCS: Can you talk about your skydiving project that involves raising money for charity? I ask because it sounds like a great cause and hopefully through hearing about it readers might give a donation (link to page here<\/a>).<\/strong>
\nMulan: I’m doing a skydive for sickle cell at the end of the month of March 2016.\u00a0The money raised will go to the sickle cell society in helping aid research and better treatment.\u00a0I decided to skydive because it’s one of my biggest fears and I chose to raise money for charity to give me that final push when I’m on the plane ready to jump. Not sure I could do it without the incentive.<\/p>\n

PCS: It seems that you\u2019re heavily involved in fashion. Is this your favorite area of modeling?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I love fashion because clothes are an impressive art form. However I do also enjoy\u00a0art and creative direction. It’s nice to have a\u00a0view on something and be able to express it in different ways including\u00a0fashion.<\/p>\n

PCS: What influences have contributed to your fashion style as an individual?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I think my\u00a0Nigerian\u00a0heritage\u00a0and\u00a0love\u00a0for the sun influences my fashion sense. I live for bright colours and prints such as Ankara (African print).<\/p>\n

PCS: Have you dealt with critics and overall adversity through your modeling journey or have things been mostly positive to this point in your career?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I think you face adversity and criticism no matter what you do. However I have my friends and most of my family for support.<\/p>\n

PCS: What are some of the most difficult components of being a model, and on the reverse side, what perks within this profession do you like the most?<\/strong>
\nMulan: The perks of the profession are meeting new people and working from\u00a0a different office daily (locations, studios, indoor\/outdoor). It’s nice to be in a new environment\u00a0and meet people you really enjoy being around,\u00a0even if it’s just for a day. Of course the amazing results from that day once the project is complete. The difficult parts of modelling is not having a fixed schedule but that’s also a plus side.<\/p>\n

PCS: Who are a few of the great photographers you\u2019ve worked with who have been particularly helpful in capturing your vibe as a model?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I have a few photographers I love working with because they capture my face, skin\u00a0and personality in one shot. They share my vision and can deliver.<\/p>\n

Seye Isikalu<\/p>\n

Sam Travis<\/p>\n

Hypemari<\/p>\n

Brett Russell<\/p>\n

Anya Sandul<\/p>\n

PCS: Do you have any noteworthy projects you\u2019d like to mention on the way here in 2016?<\/strong>
\nMulan: I have a lot of shoots planned for my blog ModelMulan.com so keep reading for updates!<\/p>\n

PCS: Thank you again for your time on this Q&A. In closing, where can those interested follow\/connect with you online?<\/strong>
