Featured Model for December 2024

My December featured model is Antonietta. We have been working together for years now. She is my most visited individual client every year, so I thought what better way to end this year with Antonietta being my December’s featured model. 

How long have you been modeling and what made you get into the industry?

I did runway modeling, print, and then started acting more in commercials. I then I did some indie fils and featured extra roles in some fun movies: some examples are “the Heat, the “Whitney Houston movie” and some Hallmark movies. 

What is the most fun you have ever had at a job?

I think meeting new people and even bloopers on set. I really love seeing the final product and 

What advice can you give to any aspiring models?

Don’t give up. Consider each rejection as a step forward. Believe in your maker and just have fun. Don’t care what people think about you. I think loving yourself and being secure will yield the best results. 

I know you have several passion projects can you talk about those and how they help with your modeling?

Well I love to create and to make things beautiful! As I am getting older, and runway isn’t a thing for me anymore, I love print modeling and commercial/spokesperson work. I also work as an anchor on the Needham channel news so infomercial are also fun and exciting. I actually love Instagram campaigns and Tik Tok live . I just get to be me and not care what people think of me.

I recently started my own fashion closet called
