When we last spoke to Alexandra Micu, she had just wrapped up her a runway season walking for a number of ready-to-wear and Haute Couture shows such as Chanel, Dior, and Hermés. Now, following another successful season on the catwalks and as a Louis Vuitton exclusive, the 19-year-old Romanian model returned to the CR office to catch up about her off-duty days and role models.

What do you like to do on your days off?
Most of the time I just go shopping. Especially when I’m not home, I just like to explore the city, like the shops and the neighborhoods. Then I’ll maybe meet a friend for coffee or lunch. Just regular stuff I guess.”

Where do you like to shop for most of your clothes?
“Sometimes, I’ll do designer, but maybe just like bags or shoes–things I know I would wear for a long time. Other than that, anything. Stuff like All Saints, that’s very on my side. Or The Kooples.”

How would you describe your personal style?
“I feel like it’s powerful. Sometimes, I like to dress boyish and it gives me a lot of confidence. I don’t feel very powerful when I’m wearing a dress. I feel very sexy, but I don’t feel powerful. Most of the time I’m just wearing leather, stuff that makes me feel strong. It’s like edgy, rock ‘n’ roll.”

Do you have a style icon?
Sometimes I will get inspired by musicians that I like. I have a more grunge style, for example, like Kurt Cobain or Axl Rose. I love the ’90s rock ‘n’ roll scene.”

Do you have any favorite music artists?
“All time favorite would be Arctic Monkeys. I like Alex Turner, what he does for The Last Shadow Puppets and the Arctic Monkeys. I think he’s like my all-time favorite.”

Is there a model that inspires you?
“The first model that comes to mind, and she’s still modeling, is Mica Argañaraz. I love her. Obviously, I like all the big supermodels. I don’t know if I could choose one. Andreea Diaconu, she’s Romanian as well so obviously I look up to her because she’s older and did so well.”

What do you do for self-care?
“I just do a good face mask or a sheet mask. Sometimes, I’ll go get a facial at a spa. Other than that, I just try to feel good on the inside, because you can always see it on the skin. Just get rest and drink water.”
