MODEL CITIZEN: ALEXIA FENECH
SWAG chatted with model Alexia Fenech, who got scouted at a local shopping centre when she was just 14 years old and began attending modelling classes from then on. She had her first beauty pageant as a teen and hasn’t stopped since.
When it comes to idols, I used to look up to Victoria Beckham when I was younger but my idol and style icon is Rihanna.
I’m mostly in love with beauty pageants, as I like challenges and competing. I did some editorial shoots and fashion shows for top brands, and I also took part in two reality shows locally.
I represented Malta twice in the United Kingdom for Miss Commonwealth and in Greece for Miss Tourism Planet. I’ll treasure those memories as they were such a great experience to model and represent my country abroad.
My biggest achievement is my last winning title of Miss Earth, in which I’ll be representing Malta in the Philippines in November 2015. I worked hard to be where I am today and gain this title.
One of my dreams was to represent Malta another time before I end my career in the beauty pageant industry, and it became a reality as I’ll be going to the third biggest pageant worldwide. From there I hope that my modelling career will continue to grow and more opportunities will arise.
When it comes to men, it’s not only about being ideal – looks aren’t everything of course. I seek respect, trustworthiness and someone who you can share everything with, including your highs and lows. And of course, there’s got to be good chemistry.
I don’t usually like going on formal dates, so I would say I prefer something out of the ordinary – nothing formal, just enjoying the moment and making it special.
