How discovered:<\/strong>
\nFumi Nagasaka saw me on a friend’s Instagram photo and got in contact with me to do a shoot for Dazed and Confused. Then my mum’s friend Jason Jinx put me in touch with Elite in New York and they signed me :) <\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI really enjoy watching anime cartoons, drawing, making beats, thrift shopping… items I can’t live without: my phone and all these knick knacks I’ve saved over the years :) … I have a visual memory so I photograph and collect everything, I think of it as saving memories. I honestly feel I would lose the memory of that time or moment if I throw it away :( but because of that my room is a crazy mess and my mum goes ballistic on me often… ha ha! <\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nThe Internet and Wiki<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nYellow Submarine and Fantasia, I’ve watched both movies 100s of times since I was a toddler and each time I see or hear something different. They are both visually surreal and musical. <\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI enjoy Miu Miu, I think Pat McGrath’s color palette and make up is amazing, and I’ve also been using Milk products a lot, I love their stuff… they have the ideal products to use when you’re on the go.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nI would be doing something creative, I love illustration and sculptural installations, I also love programming beats and music so to learn more in these areas interests me. <\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nMy braces! :) I also still love Hello Kitty stuff, I get a lot of weird looks carrying my little bags around and stuff, its ‘playboy’ for children in my opinion :)<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nI really loved working for Kenzo, Sarrjamois was the stylist and she made me comfortable and styled everyone perfectly, I love colors so the shoot fit with my style and head better than others. I also loved working with Mario Sorrenti as I got the chance to work with friends, some who I had known since middle school. <\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nMy grandparents and all my mum’s family live in North Wales on an island called Anglesey near the Snowdonia mountains, I was born there. You’re surrounded by so many castles and the landscape is something like Lord Of the Rings :) Wales has a very old history and the Welsh kept their Celtic language. My cousins speak Welsh so they are unique in that way. I feel I have had the best of both worlds being able to spend time in both places.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nSo many designers! Chloe stood out for me in their last show. I could see myself running and dancing around on some beach in those outfits. Also Steven Meisel, he makes his models look strong and sculptural, I like that. <\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nI would really love to visit Tokyo, I’ve been wanting to go since I was young, me and my mum always planned to make a trip, whenever I see pictures of Tokyo it really draws me in, the lights, the signs the people and the art, I feel that Tokyo is a place that would fit me well. I would also like to go to Hong Kong as my grandpa is from there and that place looks as crazy looking as Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nLearning more, I’ve been thinking lately that living in New York we are spoiled for choices. I want to know what life is outside of here, how other people live, I need a reality check basically :)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
