Since graduating from De La Salle University with a degree in Communication Arts in 2018, the model has already walked Paris, London, and Milan Fashion Weeks, and, more recently, snagged global campaigns with Levi’s, Uniqlo, Moncler x JW Anderson, Maybelline, Balenciaga, and, her favorite, Gucci.
Did I mention she’s only 25? And that she’s only been a full-time model for two years?
WHATEVER IT TAKES
Hannah’s parents let her model on the side in college, on the condition that she’d keep her grades up. She did. “I was a low-key overachiever back then. I was trying to aim for the highest grades,” she says. She attended go-sees she’d hear about as a freelancer, and, through the PMAP models she met at the shows she booked, she was eventually invited to join the group.
A quick study and an easy favorite, she routinely booked projects in Manila. But her sights were set on a more competitive playground: New York. Determined to fast-track her growth as a model, she knew she had to make drastic life changes—including uprooting her life to move elsewhere. While US visa issues delayed her move, she wasted no time. She spent a month in Malaysia as a “trial run” (“My time in Malaysia was training for me. Can I hack being away from family?”) and then eventually moved to Paris for about a year.
