Exclusive Mini Interview : Alexander Masson On Life As A Fashion Model.
How would you describe your personal style, where do you pull your inspiration from?
My personal style is very laid back, there is nothing like just kicking my feet back and being comfortable. Having said that, I very much enjoy dressing in some of my favorite designer clothes. The tailoring is amazing and it is impossible not to look good. I get my inspiration from movies, photographers, magazines, family, and friends, but mainly it comes from within.
When you look back to the start of your career as a model, did you ever think you would get this far?
This has all been a surreal experience; never did I think it would happen so quickly. However, I have always believed in my work ethic and myself. I thank everyone every day who has believed in me. I am truly grateful for all the opportunities. There is only going up from here.

What healthy tips would you give Males & females looking to have shredded “Abs” and look fit or just stay in shape?
You have to motivate yourself and have enough discipline to obtain those abs. Don’t go for drastic changes, start gradually whether it’s drinking more water, eating cleaner, exercising more, things like that will produce results. Most importantly, “Abs are made in the kitchen”
What other hobbies do you engage in when you are not modeling or working?
I play basketball and tennis recreationally. Aside from sports, I love weight training and anything health/fitness-related, watching movies, reading, going to the beach, and occasionally I go fishing.

Knowing what you know, what advice would you give to models and models that are trying to establish themselves in the fashion and modeling industry today?
My advice for other models is don’t ever give up! You have to stay persistent, especially dealing with rejection. If it is your passion, find a means to achieve your goals.
What is your Fashion Mantra and who are some of your favorite designers?
You make the clothes, not the other way around. It has to come from within. Having confidence in yourself and being comfortable in your own skin will always help you pull off whatever you want to wear. Some of my favorite designers include -Versace, Armani, and Coach just to name a few.
What were the Major Milestones that gave you that extra motivation boost?
I would have to say rejection. Rejection gives me the courage and willpower to focus on my career goals and what is truly important to me.
What are some of your latest and upcoming projects?
I have some more editorials coming out soon, along with a swimwear campaign.
What is your philosophy?
Stay grounded and focused. Never give up and follow your passion, dream big and fight for what you want.
