Cristina Banani is not afraid of taking chances and facing new challenges, as she’s expanding her modeling career across many continents. The stunning girl has told us about her beauty secrets and newest ambitions in design
Christina, tell us about yourself, how long have you been modeling?
I started at a very young age; my first job was for Ágatha Ruiz de la Prada. At university, I had to stop modeling for a while until I finished my education as a designer. Now, I have resumed my career.
I got a great opportunity with a modeling agency in Dubai and the truth is that I am very happy because thanks to them I have been able to expand my career as a model.
At first, I was a bit worried because it’s a big change, a new country, new people, and a new world to discover, but I think I’ve adapted very well and very quickly.
I have worked for major brands such as Love by Aisha, Carolina Herrera, Insomnia, Fashion Nova, Zara, Calvin Klein
What brands have you worked with, which shoots have you enjoyed the most?
I have worked for major brands such as Love by Aisha, Carolina Herrera, Insomnia, Fashion Nova, Zara, Calvin Klein. I also work for high jewelry brands. Now, in fact, I am going to start as an ambassador for one of them and I will also be the future ambassador for Bella Barnett. I also work for many bikini brands, since it is the area in which I focus the most jobs I get.

What is preferable for you, to be loved or to love yourself?
I believe that the most important thing in our life is to get to know ourselves, to call ourselves, just as we are from the inside out, because if we do not love and respect ourselves, no one else would. We should never miss the moment. Respect, value ourselves, and never think that we are less than someone else. We must have confidence in ourselves and project it so that others can see us.
As a child, like any other girl, I had my insecurities and over time, little by little, I have been realizing that the defects, in the end, are what makes us unique. We need to accept them and that way we will always shine. We should never stop spreading our light.

Do you travel a lot? What are your favorite countries?
I’ve always traveled, thank God. I was blessed with a chance to travel from a very young age with my family and get to know new cultures. Although the last few years have turned out to be much crazier since at the end of every month I travel to two or three different countries.
In general, I have liked all the countries I have traveled to, but if I had to choose, I think Miami is my winner. I have integrated very well here with the way of working, and how people are there. After all, I am half-Spanish, and this is like the city of all Latinos, so hot and bright, as I call it.
I also really liked Bali – it’s almost impossible to fail a photo shoot in Bali thanks to the incredibly beautiful nature there.

You are in great shape; how do you take care of yourself?
Well, in the end, it’s not difficult to keep your figure when you work in this world because workouts are in your schedule every day, even when there are photoshoots. As for nutrition, I try to eat a healthy and balanced diet, eating a little of everything. I try to avoid red meat and instead opt for fish, vegetables, and soups. But I must admit that from time to time I end up sinning. Who does not like to eat and enjoy a good hamburger or an incredible pizza?
I also try to do my basic daily care such as cleansing my skin. And I try to stick to a routine because skin care needs to be regular, especially, for the face. Once a week, I try to do some facial treatment, mesotherapy, or some other hydration procedure to have more supple, firm, and healthy skin.
What are your plans for the future?
I love my career as a model, but now I want to expand and do new projects. That’s why I am also working on my own clothing line that, God willing, will come out in January of next year.
