We caught up with new face Alexandra to talk Isabel Marant, near self-immolation and West Coast dreams

Alexandra wears bodysuit by Maison Martin Margiela.

How did you get scouted?

I actually knew someone from FM prior to signing, and they introduced me.

Have you ever had any memorable model mishaps?

Nearly lighting myself on fire with a deodorant can and lighter in tow.

Out of all the locations you’ve visited modelling which is your favourite and why?

Battersea Power Station!! It was so cool to see – eerie, but I’m happy I got to see it before it’s developed.

Who is your ultimate favourite designer?

Isabel Marant.

If you weren’t a model what would you be?

Still in school.

Where will you be in ten years’ time?

HOPEFULLY the west coast.

Alexandra wears DKNY roll neck and Beyond Retro overalls.
