"Worldly fame, field grass", a proverb that Filip Šebo crushes like broken glass with his iron fist into tiny pieces. Regardless of the fact that he disappeared from public life almost four years ago, he is still one of the most famous football players in Slovakia. Now he is back, ready for the challenges that await him outside the door.
The second meeting, which took place in a photo studio, only confirmed our previous impressions. The smile and positive energy radiating from Filip is contagious and quickly caught everyone around; qualities that many do not associate with celebrities. Although Filip has a right to be proud of. His biography is dotted with big names, such as Vienna Austria, which he helped with his goals to a cup double, or the powerful Glasgow Rangers. He also proved his qualities in the national team jersey, when he scored a hat-trick in his opening match.
The professional approach Filip takes to every little detail of the photoshoot could easily make him mistaken for a professional model. And even though modeling seems to be what he puts the most energy into, sports still fulfill him the most.
It is this determination that raises the question of motivation. What gives Filip the drive to get up in the morning and work so hard?
Shooting for a fashion brand naturally means that our conversation will also turn to this side. You will usually find Filip in casual yet trendy outfits that not only complement his sporty lifestyle, but also show off his good taste.
During one photoshoot, the photographer scolded me nicely for not modeling. And then she took care of the rest...A very quick and simple explanation of how Filip got his first taste of modeling. We first met him at a fitting for the spring-summer 2016 collection photo shoot, full of expectations of what Filip would actually be like. The stereotype of celebrity photo shoots was immediately turned upside down by Filip's arrival. From the first handshake, we felt friendliness and camaraderie from him, and with a smile from ear to ear, he allowed us to do our jobs.
My priority in life is, and will always be, sports. I see modeling as a healthy relaxation in addition to the energy I expend during training. I feel good in front of the lens, and I even think that I understand the camera quite well. However, I started to fully devote myself to triathlon. I would like to be at least as good at it as I was at football.
I've been chasing long-term goals my whole life. Today, I try to live for the moment and try to set myself challenges that I can achieve quickly. Living for the present gives you incredible freedom. And it's this philosophy that drives my determination to exercise. I always follow the feeling in the moment, and it constantly tells me to move. That's how I do it...
I have a very positive attitude towards fashion and it has always been one of my hobbies. I like to wear what I feel comfortable in, often it is casual fashion. However, I also like to dress elegantly.And we think that's how Filip should dress. Thanks to the great collaboration between the Alain Delon brand and Filip, you can see him in a different, elegant light, which many have not been used to before. After a full-day photo shoot, where Filip and I spent eight long hours, we are glad that we decided to make him the face of the spring-summer 2016 collection . We not only got excellent photos, but also great experiences from the time spent together. It was an honor to collaborate.
