A new month means a new Zodiac Tales episode! What better way to move through 2024 on a inspiring and positive note?

 

Alongside the launch of our new Zodiac Signs silk bandanas we wanted to create something special. A link, a connection between two worlds. We have therefore invited some of our favourite personalities to join us and share their experiences and knowledge as their own astrological signs.


And what a delight it all was.


Our 5th guest ambassador is Antoine Pitz. Model, party host and avid sportsman. As a Taurus, he talks about his projects, initiative and relation to his family!




Here's the full interview, enjoy !








 

Hi Antoine, welcome to our boutique in the center of Brussels, we're so happy to have you here!


To start things off could you tell us a bit more about you and what you do?



I am 29 years old. I have been modeling for four years now. Besides that, I studied before launching into modeling and I lived all over the world, in Brussels, in Paris. And now I'm going to Hong Kong for an indefinite period. I love sport, I love life, I love my family, my friends and that's it.




If you could describe your personality in 3 words, which would you choose?



I would say that I am a smiley and therefore kind person.

I think it's a quality that is often defined in a pejorative way as a kind of weakness.

I find this to be a relatively important point.


I would also say I'm a sleeper because on the one hand, I love sleeping - it's my life!

And on the other hand, because I sometimes have my head in the clouds...

`

Thirdly, I would say that I am falsely calm. I can be very relaxed, very reserved too, but once I get my bearings, I can be super dynamic and full of energy!



What's astrology for you?



For me, until maybe two years ago it was very abstract.

And then I had members of my entourage who started talking to me about it.


From what I understand, astrology makes the link between the position of the stars and human behavior - whether collective or individual.




You seem like you already know a lot about it!



I try to stay in touch! (laughter)



What do you know about your own sign (Taurus)?




I think the Taurus is a calm and structured person.


Professionally he is not going to go in all directions, he will do

things step by step, without burning them.


He can be greedy like me.

He also likes to surround himself with positive people.




Is astrology important for you?




It interests me, although I will move forward independently, that is to say, I will chart my course.


The funny thing is that I continue to follow my path without thinking about it.

But every time I reread the characteristics of the Taurus, I recognize myself in it more and more.


So there is a link that is gradually building and it totally correlates with my life orientation.





Taurus are known to be humble yet driven,

As a model, do these traits help in the industry?




Yes they will play a role.


If you want to evolve as a model and stay healthy, you have to be humble.

There are too many people who get a little lost in their ego and abandon everything else to end up alone.


I really want to keep this humble side and be detached from social media and the physical aspect of it all to focus more on the personalities of the people I meet.


And the other point was driven, yes because as a model, you have to dare to step out of your comfort zone and that requires a certain determination and self-confidence.


Do not constantly compare yourself to others and tell yourself

that everyone is unique in their own way.





How does one become a model?




You have to have a book, that's the first thing - it's really obvious.

And then believing in yourself.


Because we often compare ourselves to mega modeling stars or to people

who we find much more beautiful than ourselves.


But again, if you believe in it and are determined,

There are no limits.




Have you always wanted to become a model?



Not really, no.


It was through acquaintances who pushed me to try because I had a profile that matched certain brands or because I also had acquaintances who worked in the industry.


And that interested me because there is a very artistic side that I had a lot when I was little and I miss it.


I find that in modeling, it can sometimes be very methodical and repetitive, perhaps redundant, but on the other hand there is a whole universe of clothes, and certain moments during which we are able to let go, bring ideas and get creative.


And that’s where I actually recognize myself.





Taurus are also known for their initiative,

Do you relate?




It's an idea that I love and which is sometimes also tiring.


I have had a tendency recently to let myself be carried away by other people's projects because I was tired of always coming up with creative ideas but now I miss it.


So I want to start new challenges with the 2024 resolutions.


I want to bring back this side of taking initiative and

projects which I find, makes a person live.




What are you most proud of in your life?




I would say my family.


I find that the idea of ​​family in general is a little shaken at the moment because the parents are separating.


Then above all there is the virtual world which takes over a lot.


In my family, there is really an idea of ​​solidarity and living together which is important to me.

And despite my parents being separated, they rebuilt two cocoons in which I feel great.


And then my parents, I am proud of what they have done, I am proud of them and I hope to keep this family unit which makes us feel good together and which makes me feel at home as soon as I come back to Belgium.





Is there anything you'd like to add?





It's a very simple idea, but I want to talk about peace in the world. It's quite stupid but once again I want to say long live peace and I want people to be able to be more focused on what surrounds them a little more. And maybe take the time to open their eyes to the people around them.





Can you tell us what you're working on and where can people find you?





I am currently between Brussels and Hong Kong. The goal would be to be able to work on different brands

on site, to do projects with sports brands too. And I would dream of doing nature projects, that is to say, highlighting the brand, but in natural environments that are a little different.
