After modeling for Valentino, Miu Miu, and MSGM, among others, you would think Zso Varju would be aiming to climb the modeling chain. However, the Hungarian native is content with the comfort of living with her boyfriend in northern Sweden. Whether she’s vintage shopping or hanging out in the countryside, Varju’s simple life keeps her grounded, but when her modeling career whisks her away, she loves to experience cultures across the world. CR sat down with the model to talk about her life on and off the runway.

What’s your favorite part about modeling?
“Meeting new people. I’m sharing my experiences, my thoughts, and I’m 100 percent connected to another person’s feedback and thoughts. And this kind of connection is what I like about this career. I don’t even what know else would be the point of life.”

How would you describe your personal style?
“It’s funny because [fashion] was always something that I had in my life. I knew that it was my own and it was unique and I know I look very 2000s, but I’ve put so much attention into it since I was 10 or 12 years old. I got my high-waisted Levi’s when I was like 10 years old.”

Do you have a style icon?
“I would have to say my Granny. She was a woman. Back in Hungary, she was quite famous. She was a stylist in my hometown. She got stuck in the really closed Communist system, so she could not manage to move abroad. She was in New York several times to meet with people, the famous stylists and business people of the time, but she was kicked out, unfortunately [and sent back to Hungary.] But she had a really cool style.”

What’s your favorite thing to do on your day off?
“Sweden is really known for its nature. It’s extremely beautiful and has basically untouched nature, so [my boyfriend and I] mostly go out and hiking and climbing. I’m fine being by myself, but everything is better if I share it with someone.”

What kind of music do you listen to?
“I’m stuck in the 1970s rave scene, the 1970s pop and electronic stuff. I used to go out in my hometown for mostly techno-parties and cool raves.”

Are you watching any shows right now?
“I just started The Office. I have never been that person who pays attention to movies, but The Office is really great. I just found out. I spent my leisure time when I was in London watching it. It’s so funny.”

What does the future hold for you?
“What I really want is to settle down in the countryside with my boyfriend. We’ll have a farm and be in my own environment. I don’t know how I’ll reach it, but I know that I will somehow. With the modeling, I just hope that I can do some really cool things.”
