How do you see the modelling industry in the next three year?

Leke. Honestly, it is difficult to say. A lot of things still need to be put in place, a lot of agencies need to rise up to their responsibilities, a lot of models need to throw aside their pride and learn. However, if I want to be optimistic, I would say I see a very vibrant industry in which models get paid their worth, photographers as well as makeup artists get same treatment.
