How discovered:
I was at my first music festival. It was Freeze Festival at Battersea Power Station, I had just come out of the main tent after watching Mark Ronson and I was approached. I had braces and a terrible haircut. They must have seen some potential I guess!
Favorite things:
One of the things I can’t live without is yoga, if I don’t practice at least once a day I go a bit mad. The other thing I can’t live without is my cat Cosmo, I miss him to death when I’m away (sad, I know)
Favorite music, band:
I am always listening on Soundcloud finding new mixes. I love Disco, Indie Rock and some 60’s music like the Beatles… Metronomy and JUNGLE are my favourite at the moment. I’m seeing Metronomy next week for the first time in London and I’m counting the sleeps.
Favorite movie, tv show:
I love any film by Wes Anderson.
Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:
I love Burberry, their famous trench coat is timeless. My favourite fragrance is Alien by Thierry Mugler.
What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
If I wasn’t modelling I would be travelling and in India studying yoga for a year. Then I would be going to Goldsmith’s University in London to do a degree in Design.
What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
When I’m travelling abroad without my boyfriend I take Fudge his teddy bear to cuddle at night… BIG UP FUDGE!
Favorite modeling experience so far?
My first trip to New York! I can’t wait to go back!
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The one thing that draws me back to Southend apart from my family and friends is the fact that it’s by the sea. If I didn’t have the beach to escape to sometimes then I don’t know what I’d do.
Which brand would you really love to model for?
I’d love to work for Ralph Lauren and model one of their collections, the clothes are so gorgeous. Oh, and Victoria’s Secret.
Place you would love to visit:
INDIA is next on my list. I can’t wait to go there and explore.
Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Currently I’m obsessed with New York and the trip I have planned there. I have a feeling it may be the best new year so far!
