As soon as you hear about the model industry, what comes to your mind? Definitely, it should be “Catwalk,” right? But keep in mind, Catwalk is no cakewalk! On the other hand, modeling is not easy as the Catwalk. Models represent the glamorous and happy side of life, but there are so many struggles and challenges covered by their beautiful smiles.
New York model Yulia Foxx who worked as a hairdresser, switched to modeling. Because of this, she has an interesting take on the trials and prizes of being a success in this industry from an outsider’s experience.
According to Foxx, the fantastic part of modeling is meeting many people in her professional circle. Meanwhile, she does not forget to drive a lot of knowledge and inspiration with joy from them. “it is a blessing to meet up with different people, and they gifted creativity, quirkiness, and fun. That’s why I feel I am lucky to meet and be friends with someone who is the most awesome on this planet. Also, I am experiencing the value of these mentally stimulating and inspiring conversations I’ve had with various people around the world.” said Foxx.
Models have a life of travel. Why do I say so? Models have to travel town to town, country to country, and even continent to continent. That’s why Foxx also has to travel globetrotting for assignments.

“Traveling is agreat part of my life and something that anyone should be experienced. Most people miss traveling due to their busy lives, but as a model, it is part of my life; what a surprise, no? That’s why I always believe modeling is a gift of God that everyone doesn’t get,” said Foxx.
Besides creating new relationships and traveling, creativity is the cousin of modeling. Enjoying the creativity of the work is also an interesting fact of Foxx.
“Do not misunderstand! Creativity does not only come from inheritance. It is something that may be the result of hard work, experimentation, and imagination. Modeling is a platform to use and expand my imagination. “Said, Foxx.
As a top model, Foxx has already faced many more challenges in this industry. But these challenges and difficulties did not only come for Foxx; almost all the models in this industry, whether new or experienced, had to face and will have to face.
” Become a legitimate agent is not a simple thing when enteringto the industry as a fresher. Whatever industry you engage with, it is a big challenge to know who is to trust or not. So, the modeling industry is the same as others. But do not let them cut your wings from the beginning of your journey. So, what can you do to avoid being fooled by fraudulent agents? Just do your homework and research more. Awareness is your savior.”
Similarly, Foxx talked about another challenge you have to face in the modeling industry. If you are working in any industry, especially if you are an entrepreneur, you may easily grab another challenge that Foxx revealed. Remind yourself how hard it was to get your first deal. When it comes to the modeling industry, it is a challenge to get the first big-ticket modeling contract. Because, almost all clients desire to work with well-reputed and established models. But here is a solution from Foxx.
“Dreaming to go the moon. But sometimes, you will not able to set a single foot on the moon all at once. However, little stars definitely, help you. It means that it is important to do smaller jobs with your level of best. It will make a ladder to build your portfolio. Similarly, building contacts or networks in the industry is also a supportive bubble surrounding you.”
Here Foxx clearly tries to emphasize as a motivator that the most important thing is to face the problems that come your way and move forward on your journey.
In today’s world, social media is like a silent weapon. Social media directly affects all things worldwide. That’s why I say it is a silent weapon. So, social media influencer is a vital character in this cyber world. Yulia Foxx is also one of them.
“If you can give a guide or push someone to a correct path, you already won. No one cannot give a price for it. It is priceless! That’s my main inspiration to be a social media influencer. I open up my real personality to my audience. So, they know the real me. Will they have any doubts about me? I believe any bond between anyone, whether seen or not, is based on trust. Meanwhile, engaging with your audience empowers your soul.”
Apart from her success, she is also committed to the success of others. Foxx said you could answer stories and live on Instagram support to correctly bring your ideas to your audience. During this, your fans have the ability to learn more about you. Meanwhile, it would be best if you kept in mind not to share your personal things. Simply be honest with your fans because creating a powerful network is the best path.”

“Live your life as you wish. It is about having a dream and reaching it step by step, no matter what anyone else says or thinks. Do not keep a big deal with the person who tries to categorize you or put you in a box. Life hides creativity, intelligence, and confidence inside you. Try to find them out to do justice to life.
