Modeling itself is a métier that, save for physical ability and looks, does not have obvious prerequisites. But it can be said that full potential is manifested in pursuits beyond the shoot: charity, academia, creativity or specifically in Estella Boersma‘s case–Manga, the Japanese style of illustration. Her art has begun to mold her calling as a model. Her feminine and feline signature looks got the Dutch teenager noticed by Ashley Brokaw, which in turned landed her a career-making, single girl Miu Miu campaign at the age of 16. Barely a year later, and secure on our Top 50 list, find out how this talented student of manga pairs the pursuit of her passions and loving every bit along the way.
