Christos Katsavochristos x REY
Christos Katsavochristos from VN Models has been one of our favourites from day one,
The last three years, we have seen his career growing and him being the main face of big campaigns in Europe and the world.
REY: Finally we meet again!
Christos: Hello again! Thank you for having me Xx
When did you start modelling?
Well, it was about 7 years ago! At the beginning of my career I wasn’t really focused on that. It took me around a year to start seeing things more professionally!
Who was the first person to offer you job?
The owner of an agency approached me in a pool party in Mykonos and proposed to me to be represented by him in the model industry. I took the chance of course and a year after I signed with a bigger agency.
Have you always wanted to be a model?
It was on my mind cause some people used to tell me about it but I wasn’t sure that I want to do it. I used to be like “it would be nice, but I don’t know” haha
Do you have any male model as an idol or inspiration for modelling?
David Gandy is one of my favourites! I don’t really have him as an idol or specific source of inspiration though. I admire him as I do with a lot of models as well but that’s it! I don’t try to be someone else, we are all unique.
Here at REY, we are Katsavochristos fans from day one! We have seen you growing in the industry and finally your face was all around Europe and the world with your latest D Squared campaign. Tell us more about your experience.
Well it still looks weird to me every time I look back to think about this journey. It was a super interesting experience with ups and downs but in the end I am winner just because I lived it! The Dsq2 campaign it is one of the biggest in my career I have to admit! Thanks to Dean & Christian Oita and their beautiful mood and energy the photoshoot turned into a fun day and that’s the most important part of it - the journey! And of course I’m so grateful for the great material (pics+videos) I got!
Which photo shooting is your favourite so far?
Oh there are so many that I can’t compare them. Actually, my favourite ones are the shootings that I got treated well, the team was kind and I didn’t get too much tired. But I can’t reveal more for the clients hehe.
Any future plans you can share with us?
.Nowadays everything changes so fast in unexpected ways. Since we all have to live with Covid19 in our life I’m trying to make new plans that could stand the current situation. I am already in discussions for new projects but you’ll see more very soon ;)
Tell us something about you that we didn’t expect to hear.
I love singing! I sing all the time, in the shower, in the car, on my bicycle etc but I’m the worst singer all around the world!
Are you in love this period?
I’m not and I started worrying about that from the time you asked me hahaha
What is the song you are always listening to these days?
Oh that’s easy, my favourite song the last 2 years is the “Iron Sky” by Paolo Nutini
