Syncottia Bellinfontie
Before we dive into this incredible shoot, we’d love to learn more about you! What’s your background, and what led you into the world of fashion and modeling?
I started modeling at the age of 18, driven by my love for wearing heels and my tall, slim physique. Once I began dabbling in modeling, I fell in love with the art form. Several years ago, I found my home with ROE: The Agency, and it’s been a creative journey ever since.
If you had to sum yourself up in just five words, what would they be and why?
A time will be had.
I love art and being creative. When I’m in front of the camera, I push limits—including my own—by trying new poses, embracing bold positions, and letting my silly personality shine through. It’s all about presence and play.
This editorial is bold, avant-garde, and visually striking. Did the concept challenge or excite you as a model?
This concept both challenged and excited me. It was my first avant-garde photoshoot, and I held myself to a certain standard. I wanted to deliver something special. I’m always excited to shoot, but this one really pushed me to elevate.
Your outfit and aesthetic played a key role in creating the overall vision—how did it help shape your performance in front of the camera?
My outfit and aesthetic gave “Bridgerton meets Max Alexander.” I absolutely loved everything—from the green skirt to the top crafted from ties to the feather earrings that pulled the whole look together. I felt like one of the elites, and that energy inspired me to elevate my poses. Each location brought a new vibe, but the rooftop shots were hands down my favorite. There was just something powerful about it.
Monochromatic fashion often makes a strong statement. What message do you think this cover shoot conveys?
This cover shoot screams power and futurism. It’s giving Guardians of the Model Galaxy—a bold, united, artistic force. That’s what we created.
What was the most memorable part of the shoot for you?
Everything! The group shots, the camaraderie, the collaboration, the support from my peers—and especially that rooftop solo moment. I love how those images turned out. The way the shadows played with the light added another futuristic element to the story we were telling.
What advice do you have for young models or creatives trying to tap into the fashion industry?
Do you, boo. Stick to what’s true to you and never let anyone put you in a box. Modeling is inclusive, and the world is evolving to make room for your unique light. Find your market. Don’t be afraid to stand in front of the camera and experiment. That’s where the magic begins.
When people look back at your work and influence, how do you want to be remembered?
I want to be remembered for my versatility and my unwavering commitment to getting the shot. I’ve worked with a variety of designers, brands, and photographers over the years, and I hope my passion for fashion and art is clear in everything I’ve created.
If you could describe this cover in three words, what would they be?
Assassin—because we killed it.
Passion—you can feel it in every image chosen for this cover.
Fashion—because we need more of it.
