We spent the afternoon with lovely FM boy Adam Loft-Shulz, who's living proof that male models do go to football matches.

How did you become a model?

I got scouted at a football match.

What were you doing before modelling?

Just at school studying for my A-levels in maths, music, art and dance.

What do you like to do when you're not modelling?

Going out with friends, making music and riding my bike.

What type of music do you like?

Grime, hip-hop and soul.

What's your favourite film?

Trainspotting, I've watched it quite a few times. I really like Danny Boyle films.

What shows did you walk in last season?

In London I did JW Anderson & Shaun Samson.

Where has been your favourite place you've travelled?

I had a really good time in Paris. I also have quite a lot of family in New Zealand and I would like to go to LA.

Best thing to eat for breakfast?

Pancakes, I love them with maple syrup!

What's your favourite place to hang out in London?

Around Hackney & London Fields. There are a lot of nice pubs.

Do you have a particular photographer you would like to work with?

Alistair McKellan, he's a really nice guy and I enjoy working with him.

What couldn't you live without?

Music.

What's been your favourite fashion moment so far?

I like doing the shows, they're always good fun. Though a few seasons ago JW Anderson had a weird catwalk and I was scared of getting lost!

What would you like to do in the future?

Be successful. I would like to continue modelling and maybe go back and study.

Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?

No, I only do the robot when music is on.

How did you become a model?

When I was 17, I sent a picture to an agency in Prague. They asked me to come in and do some test shoots that they sent me to London over the summer break to do castings and go-sees which all went pretty well. When you’re a new face, it’s really exciting as everyone’s keen to see and work with you.

What were you doing before modelling?

I was at school and just doing normal stuff that 17 year olds do. I played the violin, my older sister is a professional musician but even though I enjoyed playing, I knew it wasn’t the career I wanted to pursue.

What do you like to do when you’re not modelling?

I love to exercise: I run, do yoga and like indoor rock climbing.

What’s your favourite film?

Recently I saw The Artist, I wasn’t keen on seeing it because it’s a silent movie but my boyfriend is studying film so I went along and I’m glad I did. I also like the film There Will Be Blood.

What books do you enjoy reading?

Right now I’m mostly reading non-fiction. Though I got The Hunger Games for my birthday and am pretty into that.

Do you have a particular photographer you would like to work with?

Yes, there are so many! Of course, I would love to work with Mert & Marcus. I’m interested to see how they work together.

Is there a person that inspires you?

I love Woody Allen. I love his movies and the way he shows life. I really enjoy his humour.

What’s your favourite item of clothing?

I like to feel really comfortable. I love my Philip Lim evening pants, as they’re comfy and classic.

What’s been your favourite fashion moment so far?

I really enjoyed shooting with Mario Testino for American Vogue and the Versace campaign.

What would you like to do in the future?

In the near future I would definitely like to study and learn as much as possible. I would like to learn new languages. I really like modelling, so hopefully I will be able to do both. I don’t know when I will start studying yet, for now I am using my spare time to read and prepare. I don’t intend to quit modelling yet, but it’s not forever.

How and when did you become a model?

I got scouted in Ottawa – I was walking to my friend’s house. It’s funny because I said “no” at first, but when I was joking around with my friend about it, she was interested so looked it up. I saw two of my school friends were also modelling and were currently in Greece I so decided to go and meet with the agency. My first trip was to the Toronto agency where I started modelling and getting a lot of work. I was still in high school so starting in Toronto worked well as I could go back and forth.

What were you doing before modelling?

I was at high school. I started modelling during 12th grade but did it quite secretly. None of my teachers were aware until graduation. They were surprised and found it funny when I told them what I had been doing as I’m the girl always in sweat pants and never brushing my hair!

What do you like to do when you’re not modelling?

In other cities, I like to explore and check out other neighbourhoods. I take the train somewhere and do day trips, which are always sick. I also do some touristy things. If I’m at home I spend time with my family and friends and enjoy going out in my native Canada. Riding my bike in the summer and skating every winter.

Where are you based?

In my suitcase – I’m literally living out of it. I haven’t unpacked and I don’t think I will!

What’s your favourite film?

I watched FernGully recently, which made me remember how much I liked it! It’s a cartoon film about a woodland pixie. It’s weirdly hippyish and really kind of trippy. I was more enthralled than my younger cousin. It’s definitely a childhood classic and I would definitely recommend it.

What books do you enjoy reading?

I like a lot of Canadian history books. I like factual books. I hate romantic books.

What shows did you walk in last season?

I did the full schedule for New York and Paris but only Giles in London and Just Cavalli in Milan. It was nice to have a couple of days off in London, as I really like this city. It reminds me of the West Coast and Canada. Just little things about this place, it kind of fits. I like all the big cities for different reasons, the crepes in Paris and the burgers in New York. I find there is something special about wherever you are.

What’s your favourite item of clothing?

It would definitely be a comfy hoodie. I always travel with one. I also have an eagle -headed ring I got in Canada, which is special.

What has been your favourite fashion project so far?

I think one of my favourites was a job that took us to Tofino in Canada, which is one of the best surfing towns. I got to stay in a hippy, surfing place, which was beautiful. It was like a little vacation.

What would you like to do more of in the future?

I definitely want to go back to Canada and study. I want to be a general animal scientist and also study agricultural science.
