How did you become a model?<\/strong><\/p>\nI never wanted to become a model. I was approached in a shopping centre, they took my number and called me quite a few times. I decided to do a couple of tests and they told me about the good opportunities modelling can bring. I decided it may be be a good adventure and worth giving it a try. <\/p>\n
What were you doing before modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\nAt university studying Industrial Design. After I got the Givenchy exclusive in September I decided to take a gap year. If I do something I want to give it my all, so taking a year out meant I could do all the jobs my agency got for me. I still enjoy doing design projects in my spare time. I’m really interested in 3D animation and interiors. I’m also into graphic design. <\/p>\n
What do you like to do when you\u2019re not modelling?<\/strong><\/p>\nI like to spend time with my family. Listening to music, watching films and reading books. I like to ride my bike and I used to play basketball.<\/p>\n
What shows did you walk in last season?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn September I was Givenchy exclusive which was so good. The show and team were amazing! The music, place, clothes, atmosphere… It was perfect. I then went back to school, passed my exams and walked in the next fashion weeks. I did New York, Milan and Paris. Alberta Ferretti, Missoni, Dries Van Noten, Calvin Klein, Yamamoto, Givenchy and Alexander McQueen are some of the shows I did. I like all the music so enjoy walking on the catwalk.<\/p>\n
Do you sing in the shower?<\/strong><\/p>\nYes of course! I dance and sing. I love dancing. <\/p>\n
If you could meet anyone (dead or alive) who would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\nQuentin Tarantino, definitely. <\/p>\n
Do you have a particular photographer you would like to work with?<\/strong><\/p>\nI dream to work with Steven Meisel. He’s amazing.<\/p>\n
What’s been your favourite fashion moment so far?<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen I shot in Spain a few months ago for B Store, I had a monkey on my head and the next day we shot around a castle and rode horses. <\/p>\n
What was the last thing you bought?<\/strong><\/p>\nAn Oyster card to get here!<\/p>\n
What would you like to do in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\nI want to do the shows next season. At the moment modelling is making me happy but in a few years time I would like to go back to school and study design as that is what I love.<\/p>\n
Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?<\/strong><\/p>\nI don’t want bees. I would speak to the bear and plead with him. You can’t do that with bees, there are too many of them!<\/p>\n
