Estella Boersma may be the face of multiple Prada campaigns and landmark Vogue Italia stories, but her first love is, and always will be, drawing. The fluid, Manga-inspired illustrations that galvanize her Instagram feed – defiant women in strong but romantic stances – detail not only the Dutch model's boundless imagination, but also her playful and inquisitive nature. The same can be said of her irreverent appearance in François Pragnère's short film, in which she muses about her ongoing infatuation with the artistry and influence of video games.
