View show details

Join Bailey Taylor as she sits down with model and artist Sophia Bounou to unpack what the “real model life” actually looks like. From early rejections to major opportunities—including working with Beyoncé’s glam team—Sophia shares the persistence and mindset that pushed her forward.

She gets honest about the highs and lows of the industry, from intense castings and fashion week chaos to the pressure of social media and influencing. Plus, how building a life beyond modeling through art and creativity helped her take back control—and redefine success on her own terms.
