Ros Georgiou,
Greece, Netherlands
Discovered in her native Athens at the
age of 17, Georgiou entered fashion
as a complete novice. “I wasn’t really
aware of how a model should look,”
she says. Georgiou has since grown up
in the industry—she’s now 25—and
developed her aesthetic sensibility
both in front of the camera as a model
and behind it as a budding director
and rising-star photographer shooting
mostly portraits. She credits her artistic
evolution to the lessons she learned
backstage. “Modeling taught me that
rejection doesn’t mean failure,”
she says. “I’ve become responsible,
independent, and disciplined—
and I don’t feed off disapproval.”
