Cultured, creative, and quietly confident, Ali embodies a new generation of models redefining what it means to blend heritage, hustle, and high fashion.
Every morning, I come to Radio Days for coffee. I love this place. The crowd is so mixed. You’ve got the effortlessly chic, the streetwear heads, and everything in between.
When I get dressed, I always try to blend those worlds. It’s got to feel easy and street, but there’s always a touch of chicness somewhere.
If a friend visits me in Paris, the first place I’d take them is Buttes-Chaumont Park. It’s special to me. I was actually scouted in a bakery just around the corner. That moment changed everything.
My favorite bookshop in Paris is L’Odyssée. It’s one of those places where you can literally smell the history in the books; you can’t find that anywhere else.
I’d describe my style as chic, casual, and very French. Whenever I see myself in a magazine, it still feels a bit surreal, and I never really get used to it.
The advice I’d give my younger self? Never give up. Don’t listen to the noise. Keep dreaming, it’s all possible.
And if I were a pair of shoes? Definitely loafers. Timeless and always a little polished.

“One minute, I’m at News & Coffee flipping through magazines from all over the world, the next, I’m lost in a gallery or an archive. Places like these inspire me on so many levels.
If I had to describe my style, it’s eclectic: a mix of feelings and comfort. Accessories are everything; they’re the signatures and details that finish a look. I draw influence from everything I see, not just fashion, but art, energy, and everyday people.
My advice? Slow down. We always think we’re in a hurry, but really, we have all the time in the world.
If I were a shoe? That's such a hard question. I have so many personalities that it depends on the day. Sometimes, I’m a pair of high heels or boots with studs everywhere. Then the day after, I’m a simple mule that just feels right.”
