INTERVIEW WITH IRINA TORRES


Hi, could you start by telling us a bit about yourself?

Hello! I'm a fitness model, sustainabilty officer and a mom from Denmark with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.

Currently, I'm enriching my expertise by pursuing an executive MBA in London. My journey intertwines my passion for fitness with my professional focus on sustainable practices.


How did you decide to be a professional model? Who or what inspired you?

My entry into modeling was a natural extension of my lifestyle. Being deeply involved in fitness, modeling became a platform for me to promote a healthy, active lifestyle and connect with like-minded individuals. It was less about inspiration from others and more about personal evolution.


When did you sign with an agency?

I have not yet signed with a modeling agency. My approach has been to independently navigate the modeling landscape, which allows me the freedom to select projects that truly align with my values and interests in fitness and sustainability.


What was your first job? How did it feel?

My first modeling gig was for a local sportswear brand where I was featured in an online campaign. It was an empowering experience, as it not only validated my commitment to fitness but also allowed me to connect with a community that shares my passion.


What is your dream modeling job?

I dream of leading a campaign for a major sports apparel brand that is recognized both for its products and its sustainable practices. A project like this would perfectly align with my passion for fitness and my commitment to sustainability.


What magazine would you like to be on the cover of?

Appearing on the cover of 'Vogue Arabia' would be a tremendous honor. Their commitment to high fashion combined with a growing emphasis on sustainability stories makes it a perfect fit for my personal and professional aspirations.


What do you enjoy most of the modeling?

I enjoy the transformative power of modeling—the ability to embody and convey different facets of health and elegance through photography. It’s a powerful way to influence and inspire others towards a healthier lifestyle.


What are your hobbies?

I am a mom and a professional, so I don’t have much time for many hobbies. I love outdoor sports, particularly cycling and running, which keep me connected to nature and physically active. I'm also keen on sustainable gardening, which complements my lifestyle and values.


What is your personal style?

My style is minimalist yet functional; I prefer pieces that are not only stylish but also sustainable. I opt for clothing that supports ethical practices and has a low environmental impact.


How do you keep in shape?

My fitness routine includes a mix of cardio, strength training, and yoga, which keeps me balanced and fit. I also focus heavily on nutrition, choosing organic and sustainably sourced foods to maintain my health.


Who are your favorite designers?

I admire designers like Stella McCartney and Eileen Fisher for their dedication to sustainability. Their innovative approach to fashion using eco-friendly materials and ethical production methods truly inspires me.



What advice would you give someone starting out?

For anyone looking to start in modeling, I would advise focusing on authenticity and alignment with personal values. It's important to seek out opportunities that resonate with your identity and principles, as this will keep you motivated and genuine in a competitive field."These responses more accurately represent your personal experiences and aspirations while maintaining relevance to the audience of a Dubai fashion magazine.
