MODEL CITIZEN: NICOLE SALIBA
Nicole is 22 and often mistaken for a foreigner in Malta because of her stunning blonde, blue eyed looks. But she assures us she is 100% Maltese; and, SWAG readers rejoice, the girl is currently single…
I graduated with a BA Hons degree in 3D Design & Interiors and have worked at some of Malta’s top interior design companies, but I recently moved to a sales-related job as I wanted to explore a different scene and extend my own capabilities too.
My modelling career started at the age of 14 when I won my first beauty pageant, called Miss Maltese Beauty, in 2006. From there my modelling career took off and I started being featured in Malta’s top magazines and being asked to model at top fashion shows. It was pretty rewarding for me when my face was on a Sunday magazine or on a TV advert while I was still in secondary school.
I think my greatest achievements are all the memories. Just being a part of Malta’s top fashion events and working with top fashion brands. I was lucky enough to be nominated twice at the Malta Fashion Awards. Nowadays I represent top beauty brands such as Godiva top quality hair in conjunction with Prive’ hairdressing in Sliema. I have also been slowly getting into fitness modelling. Keeping fit and healthy is very important in my daily routine and I would like to get more involved in this exciting market in the future.
My role model is Giselle Bundchen. She managed to develop her striking beauty and flawless body into an international sought-after brand. No matter how much time goes by, she’s always a timeless beauty.
In the future I also want to make the most of my artistic side and continue to build up my own portfolio with my artwork, paintings and interior designs.
Relationships for me are all about respect and just doing little things you enjoy doing together. Eventually it all comes down to the connection and chemistry you have with a person. Incidentally, I am single at the moment so technically that puts me on the market…
On dates I’m usually very relaxed and I enjoy a simple stroll on the beach eating ice cream, or drinking a beer in a local bar. As long as we’re really into each other I think any type of date is ideal.
