MOBhavitha Mandava [@bhavithamandava] has always been the kind of woman with her nose in a book—curious, observant, and attuned to the details others miss. What she didn’t see, less than two years ago, was her own fashion potential. Then a NYU student, she was scouted while switching trains at the Atlantic Avenue platform, en route to get biryani. Now, that fateful moment reads as thorough-line to her @chanelofficial era. As a newly appointed ambassador, Mandava has become a defining muse of @Matthieu_Blazy—opening Métiers d’Art, closing couture, and landing covers for @BritishVogue, @i_D, and @ThePerfectMagazine. Shot during a frigid New York Fashion Week, Irene Ojo-Felix [@iojofx] meets her in a rare lull, with no shows and plenty of time to show us where it all started. Director Will Pippin @will_pippin retraces her origin story that’s already hardened into fashion folklore. Watch the full interview on YouTube or head to #modelsdotcom.
