interview<\/h2>\n

Name:<\/strong>
\nIndia Rose Ruiterman <\/p>\n

Agency:<\/strong>
\nElite London (London)<\/a><\/p>\n

Age:<\/strong>
\n18 (woohoo!) <\/p>\n

Height:<\/strong>
\n182 cm (5’11.5″)<\/p>\n

Instagram:<\/strong>
\n@indiaruiterman<\/a> – give it a follow :)<\/p>\n

Place of Origin:<\/strong>
\nNottingham in the East Midlands, UK <\/p>\n

Ethnic Origin:<\/strong>
\n1\/2 British and 1\/2 a Dutchie <\/p>\n

Birthsign:<\/strong>
\nSagittarius<\/p>\n

How discovered:<\/strong>
\nMe and my sister went to see Beyonce (for my 3rd time – slightly obsessed…) in Birmingham and we had queued all day with our deck chairs to get to the front and then a woman came up from behind me and I automatically presumed she was asking about how to join the queue or something but she asked me if I was interested in modelling! Obviously I was like UM YES and the scout took a couple of photos but I couldn’t keep a straight face because I was smiling so much! BEST day ever – scouted and then 2 metres from Beyonce all in one night!<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nI really enjoy going on adventures like hiking or exploring a forest – I like tomboy outdoor activites (my dad always used to call me a ‘mountain goat’ because I love hiking up mountains on holiday!). I love to cook\/bake too, it’s almost like therapy and I always bake when i’m bored of studying. An item i cant live without? Almond butter – life ain’t worth living without it.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI’m really loving Mura Masa and Nao right now. My friend always shows me good songs and I’ve now discovered Bryson Tiller – Don’t, which I love.<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nClueless is a classic but ‘Untouchable’ is just incredible – if you haven’t seen it, you NEED to. I’m addicted to Impractical Jokers on comedy central – I need a friend like that to pull pranks with in my life.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI’m obsessed with Moschino, it’s just awesome and never disappoints. Givenchy is one of my favourites, I have so much respect for Riccardo Tisci. My signature fragrance is Marc Jacobs Daisy, I love fragrances that are fresh and light. I’m really rubbish with my skin routine and make-up – a make-up artist once told me off for using make-up wipes so now I always use Bioderma Hydrabio H20 to remove my make-up. I never use foundation – always Bobbie Brown tinted moisturiser to keep my skin fresh! It’s so much lighter on your skin. <\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nRight now I’m still in my final year of school doing my A-levels but if I wasn’t modelling I would be going to Uni in September or travelling the world – I’m desperate to travel India. After my modelling career I want to set up my own business, I already have a fab idea that I want to pursue (my Dad definitely passed on his entrepreneurial genes to me!).<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nMy Mum. She tries… <3\n\nFavorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nI had so much fun walking for Ashish. The vibe backstage is amazing, everyone is always dancing in the line up and you’re allowed to have fun on the runway!<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nFields, cows and fresh air – you can’t find that in London.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nIf I walked for Chanel, Fendi or Givency then I will die happy.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nIndia. I love how different the culture is there and there are so many beautiful places in India that would be criminal to die without seeing. <\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nAstrology signs – everything I read about my star sign is scarily accurate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
