Age: 21

Hometown: Rwanda, but I grew up in France.

I was scouted: Over a year ago in Manchester when I was coming home from college. I was studying languages which is something I would still like to do.

Hobbies: Reading, listening to music, shopping and I make sure I keep practising my languages. I speak English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguse, French and my African language. It’s good in the industry as you meet people from so many different places, so it makes it easier for me. I wanted to be a diplomat and I think I still would like to study international business.

Current obsession: My job.

Favourite childhood memory: When my sister and I first arrived in France. I was 5 1/2 years old. We couldn’t speak any French and we had never seen escalators before so we played on them a lot!

Home is: Wherever I travel to becomes it.

Favourite London hang out: I like going for treats and shopping.

Dream destination: The whole of Africa and the chance to travel to as many places as possible. I’m sure there are so many amazing things to discover.

Favourite food: That’s very hard as I love everything! Italian, African , French… I always make rice and put it with everything.

Dream dinner date: Jesus.

Guilty pleasure: I really like Saussisson which is a pork sausage from France.

Dream job: There are so many things I want to do! I would love to do a big campaign like Armani, YSL or H&M and a cosmetic campaign.

Favourite movie: Charlie & The Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp, I love it!

Favourite cartoon: Tom & Jerry.

First gig: Was a Gospel one, it was so good. It was at Christmas time & they did all the famous gospel songs.

Music I like: Nineties music, I think it’s the best. Music is now all so similar it’s boring.

Favourite song: I have lots. I Wacu is an African band , they’re so cool. They make lots of cheesy music videos.

Couldn’t live without: My computer as I love to Skype with my sisters.

Last thing I bought: Shoes for my brother-in-law.

Career highlight: The Topshop campaign was amazing.

Future plans: Continue modelling and see how that goes.

Myself in three words: Nervous, generous and likes to laugh.

Age: 19

Hometown: I was fostered so moved around a lot as a kid from North London to many different places in South London. I stayed with my foster family for eight years so they are really like my family.

I was scouted: Three years ago. I had just finished my exams and was on a bus in Croydon where I bumped into Ash Stymest who gave me a card for his agency and told me to give them a call.

Favourite childhood memory: Probably skateboarding down the hills and roads where I lived with my best friend. We used to do jumps and compete who could stay on their board the longest.

Favourite London hangout: The Abbey Tavern, Kentish Town and I hang out at my agency a lot as it’s a good way to get jobs!

Happiest moment: Getting my own place.

Myself in three words: Cool, happy and tall.

Age: 17

Hometown: Liverpool but I’ve lived in Marbella, Spain for 14 years.

I was scouted: Two years ago, my boyfriend’s mum asked if I was a model and said she knew someone at Models 1 in Spain so organised a meeting for me.

Home is: Spain, I think it always will be.

My current obsession is: Trainers and fun rings.

My biggest fear is: Having my heart broken and losing my mum as she really is my best friend.

First gig: My boyfriend’s band Midnight State. I threw my bra at him!

Music I like: Pretty much everything but mainly indie, dubstep and old stuff like Elvis.

Career highlight: Getting the Marc Jacobs show last season and then from that getting Louis Vuitton without even having to go for a casting. I was so nervous at those shows, all I could see were bright lights and I couldn’t feel my arms as I walked. After I had such an adrenaline rush.

Most treasured possession: My St Christopher pendant my Dad gave me when I was 8, I never take it off. He said I’d travel the world and he was right.

Last thing I bought: My Boy London sweater, it’s great now it’s so cold!

Happiest moment: Going back to school & showing everyone my portfolio. I always got told I wouldn’t go anywhere so it was the best feeling to prove them wrong.

Myself in three words: Energetic, loving and annoying.

Dream job: This is it.
