I know it's not often I go gaga over 'new' girls but I'm obsessed with Edie Campbell. I took some snaps of her backstage at the Chanel spring/summer 2011 show.

Go See: Edie Campbell - 30 July 2010
Model Edie Campbell has already featured in Vogue and is fast becoming an It-girl on the London scene. A Burberry campaign veteran, Edie’s mother is the stylist-turned-architect Sophie Hicks, her little sister Olympia stars in Tim Walker’s debut short film, and Edie is dating rocker Johnny Borrell. Oh, and she has another Vogue fashion story coming out in December. Not bad going.

EDIE CAMPBELL may be the model of the moment but her name has led to a spate of unwanted associations.
"I've been making a diary of the daft things people have said during London Fashion Week and it does wear a little bit thin everyone comparing my name to Edie Sedgwick," she tells us. "I was at a casting the other day and this model booker said to me 'So you're called Edie - Edie like eating disorder?' I think he was saying it in a tongue-in-cheek way but what on earth do you say to that?" Campbell, who is currently studying History of Art at The Courtauld Institute in London, likes the balance between her academic and fashion life.
"Fashion's a pretty strange world and the past year had been insane so it's really nice to be around a mixture of the two," she says. "I'm not sure what I'll end up doing with my degree but I'm really enjoying it for now."
A self-confessed anti shopper ("I prefer to acquire than to buy"), 19-year-old Campbell has worked with the industry's most influential photographers.
"Testino is such a kind, generous man and he always remembers you which is nice," she says. "Juergen (Teller) is great too. He gets the job done really quickly, then goes 'Come on let's get lunch' - it's fan-bloody-tastic."
Campbell is currently signed with Viva London.
