Standing at 5’10″, Fountain Valley High School senior Gisele Vo makes her mark as she struts down the runway of Los Angeles Fashion Week (LAFW) and New York Fashion Week dressed in designer clothing. Vo’s love for fashion and modeling started at the age of five, as she attended and participated in beauty pageants. After falling out of it because of her financial situation at the time, she later regained her passion in March of 2021, attending modeling classes and castings. Since then, Vo has made the most of her modeling career as she’s walked for various designers and made tons of connections during her time.
“The greatest feeling is listening to loud music and feeling the bass pound through my chest while waiting backstage for my turn to walk,” Vo said.
When she transitions from walking down the runway to walking through the school’s hall, Vo may seem like an ordinary senior, but she’s way more than that; balancing her modeling career while cramming for classes like AP Psychology, Vo makes time to focus on all aspects of her life.
Despite her busy schedule, she loves to listen to K-pop, attend concerts and have make-shift photoshoots with her friends. Let’s take a look at Vo’s most recent photoshoot as she prepares for LAFW.
