MM MUSE | BELLA
BELLA TANASI
SHE IS A GOLDEN GIRL. A TRUE BEAUTY WITH A CREATIVE MIND AND SOUL. SHE WALKS WITH HER FEET ON THE GROUND BUT HER HEAD IN THE STARS.
Bella! How would you describe yourself in three words?
Bright, fragile and cloudy.
What or who is inspiring you right now?
At the moment it would have to be a photographer from Berlin by the name of Mehran Djojan.
An MM model from the very beginning, we shot you when you were just 16 and had long hair down to your waist! You started modelling quite young, how did you get into the industry?
I started attending a little modelling academy when I saw some of my friends were doing it in high school. The classes were really fun, they taught us how to walk and pose and do our makeup. I never thought I would actually enjoy it or ever go anywhere with it but alas I ended up loving it and the rest was history.
You are such a bright, creative young woman and we love you for it! Do you have any particular creative passions or favourite artistic outlets?
I used to love painting, drawing and ceramics but I’ve been in a bit of a creative block. I think my favourite medium is ceramics by far, theres something to satisfying about actually making something with your bare hands.
You are the literal embodiment of sunshine, what are some things you do to keep yourself happy, healthy and glowing?
Lately things haven’t been especially bright for me, however to pick myself up I usually chuck on a record, cook my favourite food and dance around the kitchen. I’ve also found that surrounding myself with uplifting and supportive people really helps lift my spirits.
If you could travel back (or forward!) to any point in time, where would you choose to go?
Definitely the early to mid 80s, the music and clothes were everything I could ever dream of.
If you picture yourself ten years from now, what sort of life are you living?
Hopefully living in the middle of the forest, making art, taking photos and raising many pets.
Do you have any goals, dreams or resolutions for 2019?
I definitely want to start waking up early so I can get the most out of my days, I also really want to make some more youtube videos and take more pictures.
What are your three Mountain and Moon ‘must-have’ pieces?
I’m obsessed with my Juliet earrings, I wear them almost everyday. I’m also in love with the Venom necklace and the Il Capo ring.
