Meet Nalu Babe Izabela Drewek
Meet Izabela Drewek (@d_belaa), a Polish-born model now calling Chicago home.
Izabela’s love for Nalu Bay Swimwear stems from how it perfectly captures confidence, adventure, and effortless beauty. She’s drawn to the stunning, flattering designs that make you feel ready to embrace the sun, sand, and all things ocean-inspired.
When she’s not working her modeling magic, Izabela loves exploring creative outlets, whether that’s capturing beautiful moments or immersing herself in new experiences through travel. There’s nothing she enjoys more than discovering new cultures and soaking in all the inspiration she can find. She’s also all about the outdoors—whether it’s a walk, hitting the beach, or trying something new with her dog, Peanut, by her side.
As a child, Izabela always dreamed of being a model, and that passion for fashion, beauty, and self-expression has stayed with her throughout her journey. She describes herself as adventurous, ambitious, and resilient—traits that have helped her overcome challenges and keep moving forward.
Izabela is inspired by those who follow their dreams fearlessly and create lives that align with their passions. She admires people who balance ambition with kindness and authenticity, whether in fashion or business, and those are the qualities she strives to embody herself.
Her biggest accomplishment so far? Staying dedicated to her goals, even when things felt uncertain. Overcoming self-doubt and staying committed to growth has been tough, but seeing her hard work start to pay off has made it all worth it.
Looking to the future, Izabela envisions building a modeling career that takes her to new heights. She wants to work with top brands, shoot in beautiful locations, and be part of campaigns that promote creativity and confidence. She also dreams of branching out into editorial and commercial work, and maybe even modeling while traveling the world. Ultimately, she wants a career that allows her to express herself freely and collaborate with like-minded creatives.
And as for fun facts? Izabela’s loyal little dog, Peanut, is always by her side, accompanying her on all of her adventures!
Her advice for younger followers? “Chase what excites you. Your dreams are within reach—just believe in yourself, take bold steps, and never settle. Growth happens when you step out of your comfort zone. Trust your journey and go after what you truly deserve."
