Gabriella Costa
Playboy South Africa
|November 2018
I moved to New York specifically to get more opportunities in the modeling industry. I am originally from the outskirts of Boston, MA, but made the big risky move five months ago, and I can’t say that I regret it at all.
Were you excited to shoot for Playboy?
I was so excited to shoot with Playboy. To be published in Playboy has been a dream of mine since I was so much younger. It’s crazy that dreams really can turn to reality.
What inspires you?
The work ethic of my father. He is a self-made successful man who comes from humble beginnings. I’ve always aspired to take on some of his traits to find my own success.
Why did you choose to pursue a career in modelling?
I actually wasn’t the one who started my journey in modelling, my beautiful mother did in second grade. She brought me to open calls and I walked down a runway and got called in to be part of an agency in elementary school.
