You may already know Rubini from her modeling days in Cycle 3 of Asia's Next Top Model. While she's still posing for high-end advertorials, she also carries that natural spunk onto the small screen as an aspiring actress. When she's not working though, she puts on a different creative hat — such as lending her flair to scrapbooking and postcard making to raise funds for dog shelters.
How did the love for modelling begin?
Well my aunty was a model, so growing up I adored the way she carried herself. As a young girl, I was actually very timid and shy so wanting to be a model was also me wanting to be more confident.

Significantly, when my ideas are implemented in my content creation, focusing on sustainability is something I have been wanting to promote since the beginning. Ethics and Aesthetics: Sustainable Fashion" — this is what I want to incorporate.
In certain scenarios, I won’t be able to achieve such targets (such as when working with clients and the like) so currently I am still working on how to reach towards sustainability, not just from the work I do but in my general lifestyle. It’s a life time goal, so make the changes now even if it’s small! The environment is our responsibility.
We love your badass confident energy — how did you gain this level of self-confidence and how can other women out there achieve this as well?
For me, it was a struggle. I had to juggle work since I was 15 to help my family financially. I build strength through my experiences; I gain perspectives and through all these moments, I’ve evolved and realized how important it is to be independent — my confidence grew through my independence. I’ve shared this many times, channel your struggles into your strength, create ways to overcome the struggles and practice self affirmations to aid you through all your endeavors.
