Interview: Cover Girl Jázmin Viktória Elizabeth (Hungary)

Can you tell us a little about you?

Hii, I’m Jázmin Viktória, 22 years old, born in Győr, Hungary. I’ve spent most of my life in Germany and Slovakia but am living in Hungary at the moment. In 2021, I won Miss Universe Hungary and am reigning until this day.

If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

The only thing I want to try to change and evolve in is being a kinder, better person day by day. I wouldn’t change anything about my looks permanently, meaning, I’m not thinking of undergoing in any type of plastic surgery, nor had I done anything to my face and body. I believe that with the right diet, exercise plan and of course taking care of your mind and soul, you can achieve anything you want to and how you want to look. But I also think that looks are not everything and you got to train your mind as much as you train your body. Facts are you can photoshop a picture of you, but you cannot photoshop your personality.

How did you start modelling?

Everything started back in 2017, when I turned 16 and my Mother surprised me with a photoshooting as one of my presents for my birthday. Back at that time my self-confidence was equal to zero, I didn’t see myself as a beautiful woman, I did not believe in myself. I was bullied most of my lifetime in school and as a result it pretty damaged the way I was thinking of myself back then. But after the shooting, I simply couldn’t believe my eyes, when I saw the photos. I saw somebody strong and pretty and that’s when I first started thinking of doing modelling. One year went by, I was looking for an agency, soon I got my first contract, after that a second and third one….

What do you think of the work as a model?

Being a model is hard, I’m not going to lie, but at the same time I wouldn’t change it for anything else. Most of the people don’t see modelling as a hard job and after being 4 years in this industry there’s one comment I got plenty of times throughout these years, which is “ Modeling is not a hard job.”. If it would be easy, everybody would do it. What they don’t see is all of the rejections, negative comments and talks sometimes abuse we get in the industry, last but not least all of our wrecked feet and skin after a fashion week walking 5-7 shows a day.

What is your beauty regimen?

I have a routine and habits which keep me up to date all year long and I think that this is key to live that type of lifestyle I am living. Since I never know when and how many photoshoots or shows I’m doing, I always have to be on top, or at least close to it. So most of my routine consists out of workouts, stretching, skincare, reading books, eating clean food, praying and manifesting. Relaxing and taking a break takes also a very important place in my life . You have to keep the balance between working and relaxing, but the most important thing is to keep moving forward.

What are your personal qualities which distinguish you from others?

Probably that I’m a very calm person but on the other hand, I like to go “ all in” and be crazy, and live a little. I think it’s the mix that keeps me special and different from others and I have no problem with being different.

What are your plans for the future?

My main goal is to be a good mom and wife one day. Everything I do now in life is for my future family and so they can proudly say “That’s my Mom” “That’s my wife” … besides this, I like to keep information about my plans to myself, because I think that outside energy can and could throw off these plans in a second.

What are some of your favorite experiences so far?

My favorite was probably getting out of school and start working on my dreams instead.

Do you have any advice for those who want to start modelling?

Go for it. If you want something go for it and don’t stop until you are where you want to be. But also don’t stress about it when you’re not getting what you want straight away, ‘cause there might be something even better waiting for you in the future. I think one of the most powerful things you need to learn in life and if you want to start modeling is patience. If you have patience, you’re going to be able to handle most of the things that are waiting for you in this industry and your life.

What do you think of the magazine?

I think that’s amazing that you have a place for models, photographers and all the people from this industry where you can read so many personal interviews and see their work.
