-Hello
Bartolomeo, I am flattered to interview you, to start
this interview off, please give me some brief background
information.
My name is Bartolomeo Fasano,
I was born in Bari in the south east coast of Italy
the
day of June 3rd 1984. My family consists of my
dad, Fasano Giovanni, my mom, Adamo Filomena, my bothers,
Nicola e Simone, and me. I always lived and studied in Bari
until the day I moved to Milan for work. I was 20 years
old. I studied for Mecanical Expert at school. Right
now I am living in Vancouver BC.
-On starting
to model: When did you begin thinking of modeling as
a career? Was your family supportive of your choice?
I
knew that I wanted to be a model since I was 14 years
old but I couldn't start it before I finished school
and saved money to move away from my home town. My family
always let me make my own choices.
-How
did you get your first modeling job? What was it like?
My
first modeling job was the fitting for Dolce &
Gabbana…I got it through my first agent and it was pretty
awesome to work for them. They treat models really good.
-What was the very first thing you bought
from your earnings as a model?
My first item
I bought was an Armani head band to cover
my ears from the cold air in Milan’s winters.
-In
terms of preferences, do you like to do photo shoots
for editorials and campaigns or do you enjoy doing the
fashion shows more?
I personally prefer to
do photoshoots more then catwalks. In the fashion week castings for catwalks are the worst. You could wait
2 hours or so in line-up most of the time…Photoshoots
are more fun. You get to travel, see new locations.
Even if the 2 minutes on the catwalks make you feel
like I star I have to admit.
-Please
tell me a little bit about your recent and upcoming
modeling assignments...
My last job was a
campaign shooting in Vancouver BC for a big shop here
in town. My next one will be a catwalk for a local designer…But
I got direct booking on that, so no line up for me.
-Tell me about your professional plans:
apart from modeling, what else would you like to pursue
or are you already pursuing?
My interests
are music, djing and gym. I like to produce music
as well. My genre are minimal/electronic/techno. I even
have interest to became a personal trainer one day.
I spend 2-3 hours a day in the gym. I like to meditate
as well.
-Tell me something about yourself,
who is Bartolomeo, the person? Which adjectives would
you use for this purpose?
I can define myself
as a positive, ambitious and happy person. Sometimes
crazy but like everybody else no?
-What
is the meaning of fun and having a good time for you?
Do you have any friends among other models?
I
always have fun, I take my life with a big smile! I
am good friend with Christian Santamaria and Eugen Bauder.
I did work with them very often in catwalks and photoshoots.
-Thanks
for sharing your story with me Bartolomeo, I wish you
all the best: health, happiness, love and continued
success!
