03Interview

Name, where are you from?
My name is Armela. I was born in Albania, but I've lived in Italy since I was 3 years old.

What do you do?
I’m a digital content creator and I work as a booker and scouter in a models agency.

Describe your style in three words?
Colourful, eye-catching & playful.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
MDNA – Madonna concert in Milano in 2012. She’ll always be a muse, for me just like for other artists. Her ability to reinvent herself has always impressed me, pushing me to overcome my limits.

If you could put any three bands in history on a lineup?
The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Nirvana.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
Literally everything from the '90s.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
I’d love to spend some time with Andy Warhol, preferably during one of his groundbreaking parties at The Factory! I’m pretty sure I’d meet a lot of other inspiring and creative artists!

Arena, Verona. This place holds an old and suggestive atmosphere, making it a spectacular venue for any type of concert.
