“At first you underestimate Emily as just another beautiful girl,” Max expressed (via Ford Models). “But give her a second to speak and immediately you find yourself leaning in as she quickly subverts your expectations and transforms into a powerful force who you can’t look away from. I could see that she was extremely poised, oddly calm and quietly very confident�”the kind of self-assuredness that can take over a room. And when she looked you dead in the eye it was unnerving.”
