JULLIAN CULAS, 24
Jullian Culas describes himself as fierce, smart and genuine. He is an Integrated Marketing Communications graduate, and works freelance in marketing and public relations on the side. His biggest dream is to have a steady and sustainable career. “I think the way to do that is to be open to new ideas,” he said. “Sometimes we ask for signs. But just act on it. If not, you might miss the chance. Take risks.” What is modeling for you?
Modeling is definitely a profession. It’s not just posing for the camera. You’re not just selling clothes, you’re selling yourself and your personality, so you have to be genuine.
What is the best thing about being a model?
It’s being able to touch people’s lives. People look up to your style and your character; also, the experience and exposure.
What is your advice to those who want to start mod-
eling?
Stay true to themselves. In this industry, everyone knows b---s--- and everyone smells b--s---. When they feel like you’re fake they wouldn’t be interested in you. I think that’s why they found me on Instagram because I’m genuine and I’m transparent. What is your mantra in life? This one’s from Lady Gaga because she’s one of my inspirations: “Only listen to the people who you respect. The people you don’t respect, you don’t pay attention to.”
