Proudly brought to you by Aqua Vita Water.

Day job: Model, Stylist, make-up artist.

How would you rate our shoot with you at Fight Club SA for this feature?
It was insane! I was in my element! I love the atmosphere at Fight Club and so to be able to do a photo shoot there was a new and cool experience.

What type of look and feel were you aiming to achieve?
Fitness Chic (I just made that up right now), I wanted to embody how women can embody sexiness in their fittest form.

What is your relationship with Fight Club SA?
I am a brand ambassador for Fight Club, I believe in women protecting themselves and boxing really caught my attention. I love the trainers and Rudi (owner) is doing a great job at expanding this incredible brand.

Besides working out, what else do you like to do that gets you hot and sweaty?
Sit in a steam room and get all the toxins out [laughs]!

Explain a day in the life of Bianca Koyabe?
My schedule is hectic. I workout everyday, I have meetings to attend, I am an exercise science student as well and I’m usually on set.

When you’re not out looking good in front of the camera, what do you do full time?
Part of my full time job is modelling (so this is what I do for a living), another part of my full time job is styling as well as make up. These are skills I picked up while studying Fashion at LISOF.

What projects are you currently involved in?
I have just launched a YouTube Channel with my friend and work partner Nokwazi. It’s about health, fitness, beauty, fashion and entertainment (@bohemianchicmuses on Instagram for more info). I am also working on a blog, which I will be launching soon and I have been involved in some great modelling campaigns which will be making their rounds in the weeks to come.

When you get a break from your busy schedule, what do you like to get up to?
I love to grab lunch with a friend or a glass of wine at home with those closest to me or get involved in an outdoors activity. I also spend a lot of time with my family, family is a priority to me!

You have had some great success in your modelling career since we last worked with you for our 2015 Calendar. What have been some of your highlights?
Yes! Can’t believe it’s been so long. Highlights have been shooting in the beautiful Seychelles, Maldives and Zanzibar (I was shooting swimwear of course). I love to travel and see new places, and to be able to experience that while working is really a blessing. Another highlight would have to be the amazing people that I have met and received advice from, I love to learn and to grow and to meet someone who I can learn something new from is an accomplishment for me.

If you could have your choice of any male model/ celeb, who would it be?
[Laughs] Will Smith, he’s tall and super funny.

What features do you look for in a guy?
Hmm. Height, good charm, respectable and funny.

Name 5 dos and don’ts when taking Bianca Koyabe on a date?
Don’t speak about yourself the whole time, do pull my chair out for me, don’t tell me to order a salad, do ask me if I’m enjoying my meal, don’t try too hard to impress me.

What do you consider the sexiest part of your body and why?
My eyes, apparently they are sultry and tell a story of their own [laughs].

Crazies compliment you have ever received, and how did you react?
Your skin feels like butter/ velvet/ satin. “Thanks, I get it from my gran” (it’s true though. her skin is literally like silk).

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we mention:

Good feelings? Travel.

More? Popcorn.

Fantasy? Bali.

Lingerie? La Senza.

Goals? Success.

Sexy? Jasmine Tookes.

Confident? Naomi Campbell.
