Shahzad Perez — 力量、优雅与爱的平衡_时尚芭莎

Interviewer:Shahzad, thank you for joining us today. To begin, could you share a bit about your background with our readers?

Shahzad: My name is Shahzad Perez. I’m from Denver, Colorado, and I am a proud single father raising my beautiful daughter on my own while pursuing my modeling career. Outside of modeling, I work in the corporate world as an IT Director for a major law firm, where I manage a team of engineers. Balancing my role as a parent, a professional, and a model has taught me that discipline, time management, and self-belief are everything.

采访者： Shahzad，很高兴你来到我们今天的专访。能先向读者简单介绍一下你自己吗？

Shahzad：我叫 Shahzad Perez，来自 科罗拉多州丹佛市。我是一名独自抚养女儿的父亲，在照顾女儿的同时追求我的模特梦想。除了模特身份，我在一家大型律师事务所担任 IT总监，管理一支工程师团队。身兼父亲、职场领导者和模特三重身份，让我深刻体会到：自律、时间管理和自我信念，是支撑一切的核心力量。

Interviewer: You’ve mentioned that certain designers inspired you to pursue modeling. Could you tell us more about that influence?

Shahzad: Absolutely. I have always admired the visual world and storytelling of Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, Versace, and Armani Exchange. Their fragrance campaigns—powerful, sensual, emotional—made me say to myself: That is what I want to represent. My dream is to become the face of a fragrance campaign that evokes identity, passion, and elegance.

采访者： 你提到一些设计师激发了你走上模特之路，能分享一下这种影响吗？

Shahzad：当然可以。我一直深深着迷于 Dolce & Gabbana、Tom Ford、Versace 和 Armani Exchange 的视觉语言和情感表达。他们的香水广告强烈、有力、富有戏剧张力。我曾想过：“有一天我也要成为这样的表达者。” 我希望成为一款香氛广告的代表——传递身份感、力量感与优雅。

Interviewer: Who are the models that shaped your approach to this industry?

Shahzad: Tyson Ballou, Adriana Lima, Marcus Schenkenberg, Sean O’Pry, and Gigi Hadid. What inspires me most is not just their beauty, but their professionalism and work ethic. In this industry, there will always be someone more beautiful—but you can always be the hardest working, the most respectful, and the most uplifting presence in the room. Clients feel that. People remember that.

采访者： 哪些模特影响了你在这个行业中的表现与态度？

Shahzad： Tyson Ballou、Adriana Lima、Marcus Schenkenberg、Sean O’Pry 和 Gigi Hadid。真正打动我的不是他们的外表，而是他们的专业度和工作态度。在时尚界，美永远不止一种，但你可以始终成为最努力、最专业、最让人愿意合作的人。客户会感受到这种能量，行业也会记住这种存在。

Interviewer: You’ve expressed admiration for powerful creative collaborators. Who do you dream of working with?

Shahzad: I dream of working with Albert Watson, David LaChapelle, Diego Larez, and Luigi & Iango. Their imagery is more than photography—it’s storytelling, identity, emotion, and visual poetry.

采访者： 你也提到过一些你想合作的摄影师和创意人，可以聊聊吗？

Shahzad：我希望能与 Albert Watson、David LaChapelle、Diego Larez，以及 Luigi & Iango 合作。他们的作品不仅是影像，更是叙事、身份表达、情绪诗意，是视觉的灵魂。

Interviewer: As a biracial model, how does identity shape your expression?

Shahzad: I am very proud of my diverse cultural background. It has taught me to stand fully in who I am. If your “why” in life is strong enough — you will always find your “how.”

采访者： 作为一名混血模特，身份认同对你意味着什么？

Shahzad：我为自己的多元文化背景感到由衷骄傲。它让我能够坦然做自己。只要你人生中“为什么而做”的理由足够强，你一定会找到“如何做到”。
