Daily Inspiration: Meet Ramona Edie

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ramona Edie

Hi Ramona, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I was born and raised in Italy, and my journey into modeling was quite unexpected. I was scouted as a teenager, which led to opportunities in cities like Milan, Paris, and London. It was during these early years that I learned the craft, the dedication it takes, and the creativity behind the industry.

Three years ago, I decided to take a leap of faith and move to New York, which has been one of the most pivotal decisions of my life. Since then, I’ve had the honor of working with renowned brands such as Vogue Italia, L’Oréal, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, and Intimissimi. These collaborations have been milestones in my career, but it’s not just the big names that inspire me—it’s the creative process and the people I get to connect with along the way.

Today, as a full-time model, I continue to challenge myself by taking on diverse projects and embracing every opportunity to grow. The journey has been incredible, and I’m excited to see where it takes me next.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. The modeling industry can be incredibly competitive, and it’s not always easy to stand out. There have been moments of self-doubt and rejection, which are a natural part of the journey, but those challenges have pushed me to grow stronger and more resilient.

There were also times when balancing my personal life with my career was difficult, especially with the constant travel and long hours on set. But I’ve learned to manage my time and stay focused on what really matters, and each challenge has made me more determined to keep pushing forward.

At the end of the day, these struggles have shaped me and made my journey that much more rewarding. Every obstacle is just another opportunity to learn and grow.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m an Italian model based in New York, specializing in fashion, beauty, and editorial projects. My work spans everything from high-fashion campaigns to commercial shoots, and I’m proud of the versatility I bring to each project.

What I’m most proud of is how far I’ve come. Starting as a dreamer in Sicily, I’ve worked hard to build a career that has taken me to some of the world’s fashion capitals. Collaborating with brands like Vogue Italia, Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, and L’Oréal has been an honor, but even more rewarding is the personal and professional growth I experience with each project.

What sets me apart is my dedication and love for my work. I approach every job with a strong work ethic, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine passion for creativity. Modeling is not just a career for me—it’s a way to constantly evolve, connect with people, and bring stories to life through images.

What does success mean to you?
Success for me means achieving personal growth and fulfillment. It’s not just about external recognition, but also about being proud of the work I do. For me, success is a balance between following my passion, maintaining a sense of integrity, and continuing to evolve both personally and professionally. It’s about staying motivated, challenging myself to reach new milestones, and making a meaningful contribution to the projects I’m involved in.
