Erika B.

Born in a quaint Hungarian town, my life was a blend of simplicity and curiosity. I cherished biking through farm fields and running with my unleashed dog on dusty countryside roads. Farm life taught me the art of winemaking, sustainable agriculture, and a profound love for nature. As Hungary embraced Western influences, I discovered my passion for fashion. I wanted to blur the lines of gender in clothing and celebrate style as a unifying force. Surprisingly, I pursued economics while kickstarting my modeling career at 14, a journey that took me from Hungary to New York and Los Angeles. A pivotal moment in my life was meeting the legendary Vivienne Westwood, a stylish and pioneering woman who resonated with my grandmother's spirit. She invited me to open her London show, and it felt like the most natural thing in the world. My path also led me to work with industry giants like Sebastian, contributing to products like Shaper Plus hairspray and Trucco makeup. I witnessed the power of corporate responsibility when a new color was launched in memory of Harper's Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis, supporting cancer research. Amid family challenges, I learned the importance of empathy. My grandmother's battle with MS, taught me the value of validation and support. For over a decade, I've been a photographer, using my lens to communicate visually and help clients succeed in various aspects of life.
