MEET VORTEX AMBASSADOR RAIDEN

This 17 year old can make you speechless. Find out why the simple not-so-ordinary boy next door is the Vortex Models International 2016 ambassador. We asked him a few questions. Read more here!

Charm. A word not found in most gentlemen today. As the 21st century dawns on us, chivalry may be dead, but not quite. We have observed that modesty and the values of ages past and its strong impact on humanity can still be amongst us. Charmed is what we became as we encountered Raiden in the summer of 2016.

Raiden has been walking the fashion runways of Vortex Models and fashion shows endorsing brands and clothing lines.

"My first fashion show was Paradox Fashion Show of August last 2016. I was so uneasy and nervous backstage. Then it felt great knowing I did my best, and did well after the show. It is one of the best feelings ever, onstage."

"In my free time, I listen to music and play my guitar. Other times I would just be off playing mobile games like Mobile Legends."

"I really wanted to be a model. But not until my family encouraged me that I finally started to attend workshops with Vortex."

His mentors note his being a very fast learner, and is well mannered, especially to his co models.

"I think modeling is not just about being good looking or knowing how to walk the runway, but being a real role model to the youth like me. I know it is hard to keep up sometimes in school, but if you truly try your best, and do everything you can, and we can be really be the future our society needs."

"At my first photoshoots, I had no idea what to do, or how to pose. I had awkward hands and just standing there in front of the studio lights was not as easy as it seemed. I did what my managers told me and what the photographers instructed me to do, and just hoped I did well." (laughs)
