Fashion is very wide and social networks are becoming more and more so, so having so many people in your networks obviously you are going to receive a lot of comments or opinions but the important thing I think is to try to take it in a relaxed way. It took me time to face it and get used to receiving criticism and opinions but I try to focus on what is good for me when dressing and makes me feel comfortable.
1. Tell us about your future, background, and track record.
I am Gonzalo costa I am 24 years old and I am a model and fashion influencer for men. It all started as a hobby that was to share my way of dressing and little by little it grew and to this day I am dedicated to creating content and faces for brands both in Europe and Latin America.
2. How did you become a model and get to this stage?
It all started at approximately 19 years of age where I began to look at fashion from another perspective, I always liked to look good and take care of my image and everything happened naturally, many people asked me how I dressed and what they liked and where. They were able to get the clothes that I was wearing, so from there I decided to start sharing my combinations and outfit ideas through Instagram.
I've been in this for a few years and luckily in my early days I began to make myself known on the fashion pages and everything went from one thing to another until they began to write me brands so that I could wear their clothes and make combinations. with them and create content for them. and give my opinion of them.
3. What is your opinion of the body image created by the media and how difficult is it to bear it?
We live in a stage where the image is basically everything, in what is fashion it is something that was taking on much greater importance and value and something that many brands look at mainly when looking for models and influencers.
Although I must also admit that many brands have begun to broaden their vision and have not only been guided by the classic prototype of a fit and defined body but have begun to adapt many other types of bodies or prototypes of people and that seems to me.
Very good as it broadens the scope much more. In my career for many moments, the physicist was a criticism to carry and you will always receive opinions but I think the most important thing is that you feel satisfied and happy with your body.
4. How important is the validation of social networks in your profession?
It is not easy to handle the validation of social networks many times, in my case, I try not to influence to a great extent, although as we live from social networks many times the opinion is something that is necessary and more in the world of fashion and It is something that will have many opinions and criticisms, both positive. and negative.

5. How can you take care of your sanity in this glamorous high-pressure field?
It is not easy, whoever lives from this has no other option than to try to be physically much better every day since that opens many more doors and looks much better through the networks. I try to be very disciplined and responsible with my physique, first for my health since it is very important and second for feeling good about myself.
Many times it is complicated and there are ups and downs but it is a matter of trying to see our body as a temple that we must take care of in the long term and it will thank us in the future.
6. What are some of your next projects?
I have several proposals and goals in mind in the short and long term. One of them would be to be as physically fit as possible to start making summer content here in the United States with some collections of swimsuits and underwear, and also to continue growing in my social networks as much as possible and to be able to help and advise more and more people. and give them ideas when it comes to dressing. You always set goals, although many times I try to think about today and now and let everything go its way.
7. What led you to rise to the highest levels of this brand?
I think that if something I have to highlight in my work has been and always will be discipline and responsibility, I try to create daily content and I always try to give new ideas in terms of combinations and trends in fashion.
I really enjoy what I do, although many times we have ups and downs or days when you don't feel like continuing. But if there is something that catches my attention, I think it would be the discipline and perseverance with which I carry out my work.
8. How has the brand changed over the years?
It has changed a lot and will continue to change a lot. You have to adapt since fashion is changing and updating all the time and there are many trends every day that can appear from one day to the next. I try to always be one step ahead and adapt to everything new and adapt it to me.
