Dress SOPHIE CULL-CANDY

Can you tell us about how you got scouted?

I was shopping back home in Manchester when I was 16, after that it all happened so fast and I was living in London, on my own one month after. A few years later, I am still modelling and love every second.

What have you been up to since you got scouted?

I have travelled to some amazing places, lived in Paris, Hong Kong, Beijing and London for short periods of time. Meeting Vivienne Westwood, in Paris during PFW was a great experience, she even did the corset up I was wearing at the fitting for her show. I have also shot some worldwide campaigns, super fun with such amazing teams!

What’s your favourite thing that you’ve worn on a shoot or in a show that you wish was yours?

I opened a show last year for Cricket fashion, and wore the most amazing Givenchy knee high boots.

Who would be your dream photographer to work with? Or your dream designer to work for?

Kristian Schuller and Steven Chee are two photographers I would love to work with! There is also Mario Sorrenti and Paolo Roversi that are my dream to shoot with. So, many dreams and great goals for the future.

What do you do when you’re not modelling?

At the moment I am a full time model, and just do my photography on the side for fun and creativeness.

What’s been your favourite moment as a model so far?

Shooting with Elephants in Paris was the most amazing experience ever, I would love to have the opportunity to shoot with more animals.

Which city would you love to live in?

There are so many! But the first one that pops into my head is Paris, it’s so beautiful!

Do you prefer shoots or shows?

I love shows because it gives me an adrenaline rush, but shoots are also my favourite as I love getting the new images back and I love to work with great people. I really enjoy the buzz of it all.

What do you do with your time off?

I love to workout, and of course do my photography. I also have a two pet snakes, my favourite one is Dextor, he’s a beautiful Red Tailed Boa. Besides that I am a lover for Instagram!

What song always gets you dancing and what music do you like?

Always got to love some old school hip hop, as a favourite. But I love everything from Reggae to Pop.
