Črno-bela eleganca je vedno nekoliko bolj sofisticirana in ustvarjena za izbrance. Modna pripoved o Daphne Maas ni nič drugačna – nežna in stroga, elegantna in izmuzljiva, posebna in vsekakor zapeljiva. To je naša nova zvezda digitalne naslovnice!
GRAZIA je z njo poklepetala o njeni modni filozofiji, lepoti, ki izvira od znotraj in globljemu pomenu življenja. “Želim, da se ženske zavedajo, da lahko rak dojk prizadene kogarkoli, ne glede na starost. Med svojo izkušnjo sem se počutila zelo osramočeno in osamljeno, in nihče ne bi smel nikoli občutiti tega,” je iskreno spregovorila o svoji bolezni, ki ji je spremenila pogled na življenje.
Tvoje odkritje v modnem svetu se je zgodilo prek Instagrama, zahvaljujoč fotografinji Ellen von Unwerth. Se spomniš tistega trenutka? Kakšna čustva so te preplavila?
Kot manekenka sem delala že nekaj let, vendar me je Ellen odkrila na Instagramu po kampanji, ki sem jo naredila za Poster Girl. Ko sem prejela njeno sporočilo, se mi je zdelo neresnično. Mislim, da vsaka manekenka sanja o tem, da bi stala pred objektivom takšne legende, zato sem bila neverjetno počaščena.

Zelo hitro si postala muza oblikovalcev in sodelovala z Rickom Owensom. Kaj ti pomeni biti muza?
Sprehajati se po modni pisti za Ricka Owensa je bil vsekakor uresničen sen. Mislim, da težko presežeš tisto lokacijo, njegove dizajne in filozofijo pa občudujem že vrsto let.
Si aktivna prostovoljka pri Nacionalni fundaciji za boj proti raku dojk. Zakaj ti je tako pomembno, da deliš svojo zgodbo in podpiraš druge?
Ker želim, da se ženske zavedajo, da lahko ta bolezen prizadene kogarkoli, ne glede na starost. Med svojo izkušnjo sem se počutila zelo osramočeno in osamljeno, in nihče ne bi smel nikoli občutiti tega.

Danes se moda vse bolj prepleta z zdravjem in dobrim počutjem. Kako so po tvojem mnenju povezani lepota, zdravje in izbira znamk, s katerimi sodeluješ?
Mislim, da se je zgodil premik v trajnosti manekenskih karier – zdravje in dobro počutje močno vplivata na to, kako človek izgleda navzven. Sama sem opravila poglobljen tečaj o prehrani in imunskem sistemu pri Joelu Greenu, in njegove metode so me resnično spremenile na bolje. Njegovi prehranski dodatki temeljijo na znanstvenih dokazih, razumevanje tehnologije za njimi – in hkrati videnje rezultatov na lastni koži – je bilo izjemno.

Si licencirana dietetičarka in navdušenka nad zdravim življenjem. Kako to znanje vpliva na tvoje osebne prehranske navade in imaš morda kakšen svoj značilen recept?
Moje ozadje na področju dietetike in fitnesa mi omogoča, da zlahka prilagodim in oblikujem svoje telo glede na trg, v katerem trenutno delam.
Imaš kakšno strast, ki ni povezana z modo ali zdravjem, in ti pomaga, da se “napolniš” in odklopiš?
Obožujem igranje in prevzemanje popolnoma novih vlog – ob tem imam občutek, da postajam povsem druga oseba.

Mnoge ženske te spremljajo ne le zaradi glamurja, temveč tudi zaradi navdiha. Kakšno sporočilo želiš posredovati skozi svoj zgled?
Da lahko dosežeš karkoli, če verjameš vase in si pripravljena vložiti trud.
Kdo ali kaj te navdihuje zunaj modne industrije?
Nimam ene same vzornice ali vzornika, vendar me vsakič, ko vidim nekoga, ki se približa svojim sanjam ali premaga oviro, to navdihne.

Black-and-white elegance has always carried a touch of sophistication — created for the few who truly appreciate it. The fashion story of Daphne Maas is no different: soft yet strict, elegant yet elusive, unique and undeniably seductive. She is our new digital cover star!
GRAZIA sat down with her to talk about her fashion philosophy, the beauty that comes from within, and the deeper meaning of life. “I want women to be aware that breast cancer can affect anyone, at any age. During my experience, I felt deeply ashamed and alone — and no one should ever have to feel that way,” she shared candidly, opening up about the illness that changed her outlook on life.

Your discovery in the fashion world happened through Instagram thanks to photographer Ellen von Unwerth. Do you remember that moment? What emotions did you feel?
I had already been working as a model for a few years, but after a campaign I did for Poster Girl, Ellen discovered me on Instagram. When I got a message from her, it felt surreal. I think every model dreams of being in front of the camera of such a legend, so I’m incredib
You quickly became a muse for designers and worked with Rick Owens. What does it mean to you to be a muse?
Walking for Rick Owens was definitely a dream come true. I don’t think you can beat that location, and I’ve admired his designs and philosophy for so many years.

You are an active volunteer with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Why is it so important for you to share your story and support others?
Because I want women to be aware that this illness can affect anyone, at any age. I felt so ashamed and alone during my experience, and nobody should ever have to feel that way.
Today, fashion is increasingly merging with wellness. How interconnected are beauty, health, and the choice of brands you collaborate with for you personally?
I think there’s been a shift in the longevity of modeling careers, and health and wellness have a huge impact on how you look on the outside. I personally took an in-depth course on diet and the immune system by Joel Greene, and his methods have truly transformed me for the better. His supplements are science-backed, and understanding the technology behind them — while seeing the results firsthand — has been incredible.

You are a licensed dietitian and a wellness enthusiast. How does this experience shape your personal eating habits, and do you perhaps have any signature recipes?
My background in dietetics and fitness makes it easy for me to adjust and transform my body according to the market I’m working in
Do you have a passion completely unrelated to fashion and wellness that helps you «recharge» and disconnect?
I love acting and taking on completely new roles — it makes me feel like I’m becoming an entirely different person.

Many women follow you not only for glamour but also for inspiration. What message do you hope to pass on to them through your own example?
That you can achieve anything as long as you believe in yourself and are willing to put in the work.
Beyond the industry, what – or who – inspires you?
I don’t have one particular role model, but every time I see someone get one step closer to their dream or overcome an obstacle, it inspires me.
