Since Ieva Laguna was spotted on the street at MTV’s birthday concert last September, it’s been all systems get set and go for this Latvian looker. She’s shot for Chanel. She’s walked for Gucci, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Marni and more. Fresh-faced, wide-eyed, and the new name on the block, she’s coming to a screen near you. 

First impressions are…
About modelling? Crazy – in a good way. Lots of travelling and a very useful experience. I thought it was gonna be much easier, just as it looks in the pictures. 

Right now, I’m listening to…
Coldplay, Friendly Fires and Anthony and the Johnsons. But my playlist of the day depends on my mood of the moment.

I couldn’t live without…
My family, closest friends, sun, nature and pets.

I keep fit by…
Spending two hours per day in the gym or jogging in the park. Also very important is to know the value and meaning of balanced diet and lifestyle. 

The last movie I watched was…
The Notebook (for the third time).

My favourite food is…
Latvian. I never noticed it before but since I started to travel I appreciate real and fresh vegetables and fruits that my mum grows in the garden. It takes much more energy to grow all of that but it’s such a big difference in taste.

The last book I read was…
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

My pin-up boy is…
Tony Ward.

My beauty routine…
Consists of balanced diet, daily facial, contrast shower, daily activitie, the gym and a positive way of thinking.

Not many people know…
I was the biggest nerd in the school and I never thought about being a model. It just happened one day.

On the runway, I’m…
Very focused but still having fun. I always listen the music and try to feel my outfit because every designer wants to tell a story through their collection.

My hometown…
Is Saldus in Latvia. A very beautiful and green town.

I always wanted to…
Have a golden retriever.

My nickname is…
Aivele.

The best advice I was ever given was…
Life is too short to worry and make small problems into drama.

My biggest regret is…
Sometimes to forget to stop a little bit and enjoy the moment. I’m so into things that I don’t have or I can’t have. But I guess that’s the human being...
