DIONI TABBERS: the interview

Galeries Lafayette Swim catalog

Dioni Tabbers

the graceful

Dioni is with Supreme model management & Micha models Amsterdam



PONY RYDER: When did you start modelling?

DIONI TABBERS: I started working when I was about 15 years old.



PONY RYDER: Which fashion week is your favorite?

DIONI TABBERS: I really did only fashion week in NY...and Milan and London only for one day... for me London is the best city to be in...I work really well there, and I love the city and the people in London.

PONY RYDER: What's inside your makeup bag?
DIONI TABBERS: Pocket size vaseline, mascara, eyelash curler, moisturizer and eyeliner.

PONY RYDER: What skin care products do you use?
DIONI TABBERS: I clean my skin every day with a face wash in the morning. I clean it with baby wipes in the evening and use just some moisturizer before i leave home.

PONY RYDER: How do you stay in shape?
DIONI TABBERS: I do cardio half an hour every day before breakfast. Other than that just eating healthy and drinking a lot of water (tea in my case), helps too.


PONY RYDER:What is the best beauty advice u know of?
DIONI TABBERS: Don't use make-up if you don't have to, it's better to keep your skin clean...and drink a lot of water!



PONY RYDER: Dioni, you already did several campaigns(Moschino, Love is Love, Frankie Morello..). That is a huge success for you as a young model...
DIONI TABBERS: I really liked doing Moschino. It was so much fun that day with all the girls just hangin' around in the sun ...some food, gossip and music...just a relaxing day with a really cool crew.

PONY RYDER: With what photographer would you like to work in the future?
DIONI TABBERS: Mario Testino among others would be amazing!


PONY RYDER: What would You say is your X-factor?

DIONI TABBERS: I have to say I am very happy with my lips.... but most of the time people compliment me on my eyes .... and it's good if you have a nice personality - to always try to be friendly to the people you work with.


PONY RYDER: How do u pose, what is your style in posing?
DIONI TABBERS: It depends on the photographer. Sometimes they have a really clear vision on what they want and if that's the case I just do what they like and make little changes ...if not I just try to keep moving in different shapes...use my hands a lot... whatever the mood is on that day.


PONY RYDER: How important do you think it is for a model to know very well which market they fit the most?

DIONI TABBERS: Well I think as long as the model agents know what they want with a girl, and they explain the plans they have for the girl, then everything should be going the way it is supposed to. With me it was a bit different. Well, plans were about the same, but I changed agencies and with Micha it's really clear for me what she wants for me.

PONY RYDER: Have you ever said no to something? A nude shot, an uncomfortable photoshot...?

DIONI TABBERS: To lingerie shoots I keep saying no till I am a bit older.


PONY RYDER: We heard that You took a season off. When can we expect you to be back on the runway and in front of the camera?
DIONI TABBERS: Yeah, well i'ts not a complete season off. I'm just not doing any shows and i am trying to be in school as much as I can . I will be back on the runway ( i hope ) in 2 seasons / 1 less if i can finish my school early. I am still doing editorials and stuff like that so I am not completely gone.

PONY RYDER: What would You advise to new upcoming models?
DIONI TABBERS: Don't take it to seriously! It's just a job. You have to be able to step out of the fashion world when you go home...Try and stay normal!

PONY RYDER: Do You have any model friend You would like to see presented on Pony Ryder?
DIONI TABBERS: I think Bregje Heinen. She's a really big upcoming talent and she's only been working for a really short time!

Great great interview! As always :)

Her makeup bag and my makeup bag sound like twins.

Your comments are so sweet, comment away! I'm glad to have some sort of critical thoughts instead of just pretttttty. Although I enjoy the prettttty comments as well, because let's face it, good fashion should leave you numb/mindless for a moment or two!

I love this interview, and she's gorgeous
love how she said not to take it too seriously- that's what i don't like about america's next top model
tyra and the contestants act like what they're doing is more crucial than splitting the atom

angelgrotton said...

I must confess, I have never seen something like that - your interview style is fantastic )))

kpriss said...

Not bad at all! A good interview is always a treat!

It's helpful to see that models are human beings, that they have an actual living besides their catwalking and modeling.
