The post Model Behaviour: Edwina Preston appeared first on Wonderland.

Yesterday the news broke that Sofia Richie has been signed to Select Model Management and whilst we’re guilty of that same initial thought (“oh great, another celeb offspring”), one glance at her Instagram (which has over 500k followers) shows the makings of a model, and a good one at that. Insta-girl traits aside, Richie featured in her first editorial aged 14  impressive. And whilst she stands at 5 10′ tall with those Icelandic blonde locks, we can see what all the fuss is about. After obsessing over her Insta page for way longer than the recommended view time, jealousy imminent, here’s what we have learnt about SF so far:

If the name didn’t give it away, her dad is Lionel Richie, duh.

Her and Nicole are not to be messed with.

Sofia recently featured in Nylon Magazine.

 She admits she’s not very good at golf (although she might look it).

She’s part of the RTA (Road to Awe) denim movement.

She has the cutest pooch.

We’re all about simple, almost androgynous radiance for spring/summer. So for the Babes Issue, we photographed Select’s Flo Dron for a very special beauty shoot in the sparkly new Chanel boutique in London’s Covent Garden.

Why? Because Chanel Beauty’s creative director Peter Philips is paying tribute to the fresh, outgoing side of the house’s founder, with a new makeup collection called Les Beiges. It’s all about a healthy, natural flush – the kind of glow you might expect from a woman who’s carefree, unpretentious, and gets plenty of Vitamin D.

The first Les Beiges product, the Healthy Glow Sheer Powder, launches March 15, and there’s few better places to check it out than in Chanel Beauty’s new boutique in London’s Covent Garden, which hosts regular events with advice and expertise courtesy of the world’s leading makeup artists,

nail technicians and stylists.

How did you become a model?

I was scouted on the street whilst Christmas shopping with my mum. I waited until I had finished high school before starting.

What were you doing before modelling?

In high school. I had planned to take a break, try modelling and then go to uni and maybe study Psychology.

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

When I’m travelling on modelling jobs I love to go sight seeing and explore the city I’m in. I’m also doing a creative writing course so I enjoy writing stories. It’s just something I do for fun and as it’s an online course it’s perfect when I’m travelling.

What’s your favourite film??

I don’t like scary movies. I enjoy happy ones like Little Miss Sunshine. Into The Wild is also a great film.

What books do you enjoy reading?

Fiction. I mainly read Dutch books.

What shows did you walk in last season?

I was on worldwide exclusive to Balenciaga last season. It was so much fun and my first Fall fashion week. The season before I did shows in New York, walking for a lot of new up-and-coming designers.

Where has been your favourite place you’ve travelled?

I really like going to Australia.

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

Yes, I would love to work with Peter Lindbergh.

What’s been your favourite fashion moment so far?

I really like working with Josh Olins whom I shot an upcoming campaign with.

What would you like to do in the future?

I want to model for a few more years and then go back to school in Amsterdam.

If you had hidden treasure where would you bury it?

My parents have a little garden house, I think I would bury it there.
