LIKE your average teenager, Mina Imsirovic fits in friends, gym and a part-time models jobs on top of her studies and begs lifts off her older sister.But unlike most 17-year-olds, she made an estimated $7000 last week.
The Brighton Secondary College year 11 student was one of the top faces at the L'Oreal Melbourne fashion modeling festival, which wrapped up yesterday.
Ms Imsirovic appeared at eight parades during L'Oreal Melbourne teenage modeling festival: both Myer shows, Country Road, Metalicus, Bonds, two Fashion Collections and a Chadstone Shopping Centre event.
In between catwalk commitments, she managed to fit in shooting a stills campaign for Northlands Shopping Centre.
The year 11 student took off a week from her college studies to meet the demand."As long as I let the school know on time - before fashion teenage modeling week begins they're very supportive," Ms Imsirovic said.
According to her agent at FRM, she has had interest from Paris, Milan and New York.
But the level-headed teen, who wants a career as a psychologist or accountant, says modelling will wait while she finishes school.
The brunette beauty, who has been fashion modeling for 2 1/2 years, said the life of a model was not as blessed as many would imagine.
"It's a great job but it isn't as glamorous as model people think it is," Ms Imsirovic said.
"There's a lot of work to do in a very short time span, so you have to get it all done quickly."
Ms Imsirovic's days usually begin at 5am and she doesn't get home before midnight.
She can do up to three models shows in one day, and she catches public transport to each job when her sister is not able to drive her.
The other hours are spent rehearsing, in hair and make-up or on the catwalk.
Now that the hard work's over, Ms Imsirovic is back to school - but with a hefty hip pocket.
