MODEL PROFILE: CHLOE MUTU



Name: Chloe Mutu

Star Sign: Taurus

How did you first get into modeling?
I would definitely call my self a new face when it comes to the modeling world. I was signed with my current agency, Division Model Management, back in August last year. After attending a few openings & shows with my beautiful girlfriends whom are all involved in the industry I was approached by my current agent and the rest is history.

What has your favourite modelling job been so far?
Since I'm still such a newbie to the industry, that is definitely a hard one, ive had the pleasure of working with the very talented people from Element, Karen Nielson & Lisa Blue, and a few smaller labels like Leina Broughton & Kate Andersen. All of which were absolutely amazing. 

Who is your inspiration and why?
I’m going to stay close to home with this one, and say my beautiful mum. Not only is she my very wonderful business partner, she is my fashion icon, my rock & my guidance counselor but most importantly she is my best friend. I would be lost without her in my world.



Where do you see yourself in five years?
I got a tattoo when I was travelling through Indonesia a few years ago that reads in Hindi –
“To remain in the simplicity of the present moment”.
 I try not to dwell on the past or focus on the future too much instead I like to concentrate on today. I do hope though that in 5 years times, I’ve travelled and seen this beautiful world we live in, and experienced all that it has to offer. “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page”.

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and
Why?
My number 1 destination is Bali. I’ve been there a few times now with family & friends and it never ceases to amaze me. The people, their culture, their way of life is so very humbling yet enlightening at the same time. I try to go back there at least once a year – It’s a very special place to me. As for where I haven’t been or where I would like to go – My next stop would have to be India, Tibet  & the Himalayas. There is something magical about these 2 countries that has attracted me since I can remember.

Favourite book?
I have a very naughty habit of over indulging in books. I have so many personal favourites from the “Monk who sold his Ferrari” by Robin Sharma to a much more lighthearted read “Shantaram” by Gregory Roberts. One of my all time favourite books though is a little gem called “When I loved myself enough” by Kim McMillan It's a beautiful healing, easy-to-read, easy-to-fall-in-love-with kind of book that I think everyone needs to read once in their life time. I never leave home without it. 



Favourite movie?
I’m not a very avid movie watcher, but if I were to pick one movie that I really enjoyed it would have to be “Eat Prey Love’ by the very amazing Elizabeth Gilbert. After reading her book over a dozen times I could never grow tried of watching the stunning Julia Roberts interpret her spectacular journey.

 What is your favourite type of exercise?
I must admit im a bit naughty when it comes to exercise. I always have a good night sleep and ensure I maintain a very balanced diet but I guess like every girl out there – I have my good & bad days J. I try and walk at least 45mins every day & go to Zumba with my beautiful girlfriends once a week! The occasional Yoga session on a Saturday morning with my mummy is always fun too. 



Three things you cant live without?
The 3 things I cant live without would have to be:
My very beautiful & loving partner, he is the one I turn to for advice, inspiration, guidance & support. He never fails to make me smile, and always allows me to be myself. I adore and respect him more than anything.

Number 2 would have to be my Family - I come from a big family full of boys, im the baby and the only girl. Growing up with so many males –I was never short of advice & lots of brotherly ‘protection’ - I don’t think a boy stepped a foot near me until I was in my late teens! Although my brothers and I may be hundreds of miles apart I know how loved & supported I am, they are my world and I would be lost without them.

3) My beautiful & very talented friends. When it comes to friendships im all about quality not quantity, I have an amazing group of very close girlfriends. We are all in the same industry so we understand and support each other not only personally but also professionally – which I feel is very important in maintaining balanced relationships. There is nothing I find more perfect than catching up with my girls over a glass of wine after a long week – I adore them.

What is your biggest indulgence?
I’m an absolute sucker for shoes but not just any old shoe – Tony Blanco’s! I have a whole wardrobe filled of TB’s - boots, wedges, pumps, clogs and the list goes on. They always fit me so well, and take no time at all to wear in. My partner thinks I’m a little bit mad when I go out and buy another pair, but as I like to say “You can always tell a woman & a man by their shoes”.

A few other little essentials I’m bonkers about is:
O.P.I nail polish
Individual eyelashes
Shirts (I love a cute shirt tucked in with a bow tie)
Travelling 



Your favourite designer label?
Owning and running a clothing house for the last few years I’ve really started to embrace smaller more unknown labels that are affordable yet unique and still super beautiful & comfortable to wear. If something suits your body shape & makes you feel like a goddess then buy it. My wardrobe is filled with lots of one off underground labels & vintage pieces.

Any advice for the women of the world?
Success is nothing more than living your life according to your own truth and on your own terms.
Success is living your life in the process of creating and realizing what’s most important to you – Not what’s most important to anyone else.

Don’t ever try and be someone or something your not, embrace your uniqueness & remember you are beautiful.
