The sensation of fashion week
Bo Exters
Felice Nova and Imaan Hamman are already known to us, but there is another Dutch beauty who seems to have unlimited access to all the catwalks. Bo Exters (from Micha Models) walked J.W. Anderson, Burberry, Moschino, Blumarine, Cavalli, Versace, Hermès in the past weeks, and the latest on the list is Valentino. But by the time you read this, there will surely be a few more A-brands added.

The B in Bo already stood for beauty, but since she dyed her hair white and took her eyebrows along, she breathes fashion alongside beauty and class. And that was noticed by the casting directors, because the B in Bo also stands for ‘books’ this week! Amidst all the fittings, castings, and shows, Amayzine got to ask her a few questions.
1. Name three highlights from the past Fashion Weeks.
‘Number one is definitely Versace. That was really the coolest show I have been able to walk in so far. Versace has been on my dream show list for a while, so when I read the message from Micha backstage at Moschino that I was booked, I really couldn't believe it. Walking that show in my first season is truly unreal!

The second highlight is the new friends I have made in the meantime; waiting at castings can sometimes lead to meeting new people, which makes it even nicer, because at many castings you encounter the same girls.
As a third, I think my trip to London for Burberry is noteworthy. Burberry scheduled their show exactly on the day between Milan and Paris Fashion Week, so I took a day trip by train to London for the show. That was really very cool, and I met a lot of lovely girls there.’

If you don't have castings/fittings or shows during lunch, who do you eat with, what do you order, and where do you sit?
‘As soon as I had a moment free, I liked to have lunch with the girls from Micha or NEXT. It's always very nice to chat with someone who experiences exactly the same. Often we get something sweet/desserts and coffee so we have some energy again. It really depends on where we are nearby, but my friend Merel has a whole list of vegan hotspots, so I always end up in the nicest restaurants with her.’
You walked Burberry, Versace, Cavalli, Moschino, J.W. Anderson, Valentino, and Hermès and counting, because Fashion Week is not over yet. Have you already cautiously popped a cork from a bottle?
‘Coincidentally, this afternoon I had a glass of champagne with Micha and a few other girls from Micha Models to celebrate everything properly.’

What will you do on Thursday when Paris is over? Legs up and reading books or rush to your next shoot?
‘To be honest, I have no idea yet. I think I will first go home to process everything and realize what has happened in the past weeks.’
