'MODEL' COVER EDITION - APRIL 2025 ISSUE
In the MODEL edition of Hooks Magazine, it’s Natasha Yassuda who leads us through a narrative of elegance, freedom, and a passion for discovering new worlds. A model, fashion enthusiast, and recent Fashion graduate, Natasha embodies the essence of the modern woman — curious, sensitive, and with a sharp eye for everything around her.
Her name is already circulating among the promising faces of a new generation, but it’s the way she connects with the world that truly sets her apart. Whether in the frozen landscapes of Patagonia or the cultural streets of Santiago, she carries a trained aesthetic gaze, a rare sensitivity, and a curiosity that turns each destination into a stage — and every photo into a story.
Natasha has visited Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay more than once, yet each time feels like the first. The snow season is a recurring theme in her travels, but it's far from the only reason she returns. It's also the flavors, the sounds, and the people that leave a lasting impression. There’s something poetic in how she relives past memories while welcoming the new — as if each country offers a renewed invitation to rediscover herself.
In the exclusive interview she gave to Hooks, it became clear that for Natasha, traveling is more than just moving from place to place — it's an exercise in presence. With Bariloche as one of her upcoming destinations, she already envisions the landscapes she’ll turn into images, the outfits she’ll choose with intention, and the quietness of the snow that never fails to move her.
Freshly graduated in Fashion, Natasha now sees the world through a different lens: more attentive to details, silhouettes, and the stories told by the looks worn by people she encounters along the way. It’s a gaze that doesn’t just observe — it interprets. A fashion instinct that turns everyday scenes into creative inspiration.
For her, blending fashion, travel, and photography is like sketching a self-portrait. Every shot, every styling choice, every backdrop holds a piece of her essence. And if there’s one dream that beats strongly in her heart, it’s shooting a fashion editorial in snow-covered Paris — a setting that brings together everything she loves: fashion, art, and that cinematic touch that makes every moment unforgettable.
Check out the exclusive interview:
Natasha, what captivated you the most about Chile to the point of not wanting to leave? Was it the snow, the activities, or something else?
What captivated me the most about Chile was, without a doubt, the snow — it always moves me. But it wasn’t just that. The variety of activities the country offers is incredible, from snow adventures to cultural tours. And the people are extremely warm and welcoming. I felt completely at ease, like I was at home. It’s the kind of place that embraces you, you know? It makes you want to stay longer and explore every corner slowly.
You’ve visited Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay twice — what keeps drawing you back to these countries?
The snow season is a big draw, as it truly transforms everything into a magical scene. But beyond the landscape, what brings me back is the energy of these places. Each country has its own essence, culture, and unique beauty. The food, the people, the places I’ve discovered… everything left a special mark on me. Going back feels like reliving beautiful memories while creating new ones.
With Bariloche as one of your upcoming destinations, do you have any special expectations for this trip?
My expectations are sky-high! I’m really excited because I know Bariloche offers breathtaking landscapes, deep contact with nature, and of course, plenty of snow — which has already become a signature element of my trips. I hope to live unforgettable moments, take beautiful photos, and enjoy every second. I’m sure it’s going to be one of those trips that stay with you forever.
You graduated in Fashion just four months ago — how has that shaped your perspective while traveling?
Since graduating, I’ve noticed a big shift in the way I see things. I’ve become much more observant and detail-oriented. I love analyzing people’s outfits in the places I visit, especially in colder destinations where winter fashion really stands out. I also find myself thinking about compositions, styles, and inspirations for my own looks. Fashion has gone from being just a passion to becoming a lens through which I view the world.
As someone passionate about photography, how do you bring that together with fashion and travel?
Photography is a way for me to express everything I love — style, the places I discover, and the emotions I feel throughout my travels. When I’m on a trip, I like to think of each shot as a way to tell a story — with the right setting, lighting, pose, and of course, the perfect look. Combining fashion, travel, and photography is pure magic — it’s when I feel most like myself. And every photo I take carries a piece of who I am. I can’t pick a favorite, because each one holds a special meaning.
If you could choose any place in the world to shoot a fashion editorial with snow as the backdrop, where would it be and why?
Paris, without a doubt. The city already has a naturally sophisticated and romantic atmosphere, and with snow, it becomes absolutely enchanting. I think it would be the perfect setting to bring together everything I love most — fashion, art, beauty, and that cinematic touch Paris so effortlessly offers. Shooting an editorial there would be a dream — both a personal and professional milestone.
