  • - Uh-huh. - Yeah.

  • - So is that where someone discovered you?

  • - Um, yeah, so the director of Next LA, Alexis,

  • he found me when I was ten,

  • and, well, my sister got scouted and I was with her,

  • and he's, like, "I want to see you in a couple of years,"

  • and I was, like, "What are you talking about?"

  • Like, I have buck teeth.

  • Like, my hair's down to here.

  • Like, I'm a little cuckoo looking.

  • - I saw the picture of you, what you're talking about

  • right there.

  • All right. - That's--yeah.

  • - No, I definitely see the potential.

  • I see why somebody said, "Hold on."

  • - Yeah. - "I'm gonna wait for that."

  • So your sister--I think your whole family's

  • in the audience there. Hi.

  • - My family's right there. - Hi, everybody.

  • So--wow, what a beautiful family.

  • Congratulations, everybody there.

  • So you got signed when you were 12, is that right?

  • - 12 years old, yeah. - With an agency?

  • Okay, and then you started doing print?

  • Is that the first thing you did?

  • - Yeah. Well, the first thing I did

  • was for this Brazilian jeans company.

  • And it was really weird. I was really nervous.

  • But I didn't do much till I was maybe 14,

  • and then from there I did the Levi's campaign,

  • me and my family did the Gap holiday campaign,

  • and it kind of just went little by little, you know?

  • - Yeah. So, but now this is amazing.

  • So you're from a small town in Utah,

  • and now you're traveling the world,

  • and getting to see the world, and you just did a runway--

  • where was the runway show? Paris?

  • - Yeah. Well, I did-- I did the whole tour.

  • Like, London, Paris, Milan, and New York.

  • I just did that. - So, how is a 16-year-old kid--

  • you're walking the runway.

  • What are you thinking about when you--are you nervous?

  • - Well, I mean, I never really get, like,

  • "oh, my gosh, I'm freaking out" nervous.

  • I just get excited, but, honestly, like,

  • some fashion shows, like, they tell you to be, like,

  • oh, like, bring this really tough look on your face,

  • and, like, try to do that with, like, your expressions,

  • and I'm, like, okay, and I try, but

  • sometimes I think about literally,

  • I was walking down the runway,

  • you know that feeling when you, like,

  • don't have your phone in your pocket,

  • and you're, like, "where is it," you know?

  • Like, I'm sure everyone has had that moment on the fa--,

  • like, I was doing that, I was walking down,

  • I was going.

  • And then, I was thinking about my homework.

  • - Uh-huh. - I was, like, "Okay.

  • "I didn't turn in those ten assignments.

  • My mom's gonna ground me."

  • And so your heart drops a little bit.

  • You're, like, "Uh, crap," you know?

  • - Yeah. So then you had that tough face on

  • that they're talking about.

  • - I know. You have to, like, do that while you're going

  • and not trip.

  • You really don't want to trip while you're on the runway.

  • - Well, I know, that would be because you're wearing

  • brand new shoes, and they're slippery,

  • and the runway's slippery.

  • There's all kinds of things that I would be nervous about.

  • That, I mean, when they ask me some day.

  • - Yeah.

  • - You have two looks that you have perfected, right?

  • What are you thinking? What are the looks?

  • Um, well, one of them is, uh, the

  • "Are you looking at me?" - Uh-huh.

  • - Then the other one's, like,

  • "Why are you looking at me," you know?

  • - I see. So those are the thoughts

  • when I see you in the magazine.

  • - Those are my two.

  • I have them in my pocket.

  • - Fantastic. Well, which one is that?

  • Is that "Why are you looking at me?"

  • Or are you looking-- - I think that's--

  • They're really similar.

  • I think that's "Why are you looking at me?"

  • And that one's "Are you looking at me?"

  • - That one is "Are you looking at me?" for sure.

  • I think I'm going to think about that

  • with any model I see in a magazine.

  • - You should try that one.

  • - That's what I'm thinking all the time.

  • - Yeah.

  • That should be your next post for Instagram.

  • - Yeah. That's what I'm always thinking.

  • This is my look of "Are you looking at me?"

  • - Yeah.

  • That's a good look to have.

  • - I have something for you to wear

  • the next runway show that you do, okay?

  • because I'm, you know, I want to help you out.

  • Zenor, come on out.

  • - Zenor. Oh.

  • [runway music playing]
