Tell us something more on how you got into modeling?

CARLA GEBHART: I was scouted by Picky Courtois, the director of Civiles, my mother agency.

What are the basics that you needed to learn in order to become a model ready for the fashion capitals?

So, if you had to describe to an average girl how to walk on the runway, what would you say is the most important thing?
CARLA GEBHART: I feel that the most important thing is to feel that she's just doing a job, that it doesn't become YOU in a really special person just because you're thin and tall. So if you don't act that kind of a role, it could be easier to do it.

Do you like runway music..does it help you in setting the mood?
