In case you were wondering all of that. We, however, are here to discuss the Botticellian blonde with generous blue eyeshadow who joined their other \u201cMA girls\u201d. The aforementioned is Gemma Janes, an English-countryside born, Paris-living model. &#8220;They\u2019re the kind of brand who ask you what you feel best in at the show fitting and they let you wear it,&#8221; Gemma says of working with the designers who often cast a coterie of friends and muses.<\/p>\n<p>If they&#8217;re Marques\u2019 approved you can almost certainly bet they\u2019re the type that&#8217;s fit to share a drink with.

Discussing books and ideas&#8230;\u201d Gemma details. That was before modeling, which she went into full time at the age of 17 and reading became a way to calm casting nerves. A quick glance at her Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gemmajanes\/\">@GemmaJanes<\/a> shows her devotion to the page hasn&#8217;t been stifled in these smartphone rife days. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, that\u2019s exactly what transformed her habit from bookworm to bookmonger, explaining, \u201cSendb00ks was sort of just a way of clearing out my bookshelves. I uploaded all of them onto Instagram with my favourite lines or a weird fact about the author. There was a crazy amount of interest so I started to source more (the greatest business trips).\u201d Because she\u2019s now in Paris, most prospective finds are in French, so Gemma makes a pilgrimage to mine a specific charity bookstore in England in order to stock up. <\/p>\n<p>So if you fancy a good read, wrapped by Gemma herself, we recommend checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/send00ks.com\/\">Send00ks.com<\/a>   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2018\/09\/112785--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image credit LEFT: GETTY Victor VIRGILE \/ Contributor, RIGHT: @Gemmajanes Historically, Marques&#8217;Almeida, of Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, have shown their collections in London where the Central Saint Martins grads have built their reputation.
