 <\/p>\n

\"Wonderland<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Name<\/strong> – Neelam<\/p>\n

Age<\/strong> – 18<\/p>\n

Where are you from?<\/strong> Coventry, UK<\/p>\n

How were you scouted?<\/strong> I was scouted by a few agencies then went into Models 1 for a walk in and got signed on the spot!<\/p>\n

What have been some of the most exciting moments of your modelling career so far?<\/strong> Walking as a global exclusive for Burberry Prorsum because that was my first show and I’ll never forget how I felt when I was first told I booked the show! Another amazing moment was when I first met Mario Testino because he’s so down to earth and we got talking about our favourite food!<\/p>\n

What do your friends and family think of you becoming a model?<\/strong> They are so proud and that makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something great. A lot of people assume my family would brag about it but they’re so humble and constantly remind me to enjoy every minute while it lasts<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite; Eastenders\/Corrie\/Hollyoaks\/Neighbours and why?<\/strong> Eastenders because the Christmas episodes are always the best and it’s a family tradition to sit and watch it after eating our huge roast dinner!<\/p>\n

Who do you look up to in the industry?<\/strong> Naomi Campbell because, in my eyes, she is a pioneer and has shown models that it’s possible to venture in many different avenues<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite Beyonc\u00e9 track (everyone loves Beyonce)? <\/strong>I love Queen B! At the minute I’m always listening to ‘Partition’ and ‘Mine’ (which features Drake)<\/p>\n

Who would you most like to work with?<\/strong> I’d love to work with Patrick Demarchelier. His work is beautiful and timeless<\/p>\n

If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?<\/strong> Minnie Mouse because I’m really girly!<\/p>\n

How was your day shooting for Wonderland?<\/strong> My day was so fun, I took so many behind the scenes pictures because I was in love with every single outfit! Especially the Givenchy look! What made the day even better is the fact that everyone loved my taste in music so I had Drake and Meek Mill playing all day long woohoo!<\/p>\n

What’s your top tip for getting through fashion week?<\/strong> Have fun!! Even though it’s tiring it’s such an exciting experience that most people only dream of. Plus you can sleep once it’s all over haha!<\/p>\n

If you had a witch’s powers what would they be?<\/strong> Ooohhh I like this question. My special power would be invisibility because I’d sneak up on people and scare them.<\/p>\n
