Small writeup on Amanda at vogue.co.uk:

What A Year
LESS than a year ago, Amanda Norgaard was like all the other girls at her Copenhagen school, but after a chance meeting with super casting agent Russell Marsh, her life changed forever. Marsh cast her in several London Fashion Week shows last September, including Christopher Kane and Topshop Unique, and then signed her as a "Marsh exclusive", taking her to Milan.
"It was really exciting," the model told us. "It was amazing to walk in the Prada show and then we went to Paris, for Chanel, which was amazing. There were such incredible models - like Natasha Poly and Freja Beha - backstage and I started to think, 'Ok, this is really good'! Karl Lagerfeld came out to check when we were ready and when he nodded at me I thought 'Yes! I passed the test'!"
After last season's success - when, as well as Chanel and Prada, Norgaard walked for Miu Miu, Marni, Missoni, Versus and Alberta Ferretti, campaigns for Bennetton and Topshop followed - and February's shows were no less exciting for Norgaard.
"I did Burberry this season, which was incredible," she told us. "I was close to getting it last season but I was just a bit too small, so I was so happy to be picked this time. Then I did the Prada show again, which was great this time. The models all looked different and were chosen more for personality, I think, so there were Victoria's Secret girls alongside newcomers like me. It was really cool."
And having shot summer campaigns for Calvin Klein and DKNY - and with a major, as yet secret, winter campaign in the pipeline - it's likely she'll be around for a while. Watch this face.

I wonder what that major campaign could be?

Ahhh god damn I know what the campaign is but have to stay tight lipped haha
I'm interning at Viva London and we went for dinner with some of the girls inc Amanda the other night which was pretty cool, she's such a funny girl! Really great personality and of course so beautiful! It's unreal how flawless their skin is with no make-up or anything!
Oh and her and Kirsi ate pizza and desert, for those who think these girls are starving themselves thank god, don't think I could have eaten so much in their company if they weren't doing the same!

I've talked to Amanda a few times online and even through anonymous and faceless letters on a computer screen she came out as a total sweetheart

Childhood dreams are often non-sensical, ambitious, funny and strange. But more than anything, they are revealing about the person who possesses them. I asked a few of my friends what they wanted to be when they grew up when they were children, receiving some interesting, varied and obscure answers that are both endearing and reflective of how differently things could have panned out.

Mathilde Frachon – ‘When I was a little girl I wanted to become a princess … or a firewoman’

Hannah Holman – ‘I wanted to be a criminal pathologist’

Jacquelyn Jablonski - When I was younger I wanted to be a thousand things but one of them was a teacher... my friends and i would always play "school" when we were younger. We would set up a classroom with school supplies and decorations, like name tags and a chalkboard, and would make up homework assignments for our "students"

Meghan Collison - ‘I wanted to be snow white. It was my favourite Disney movie’

Tilda Lindstam - ‘I've always wanted to become a pilot. I even applied to a pilot-gymnasium in the very north of Sweden. Decided not to go though, since I would have had to move by myself to a northern Swedish city out in the middle of nowhere with like 5000 inhabitants.’

Eniko Mihalik – ‘When I was a kid some relatives of mine owned a little deli, so whenever we would go to visit them I would just go to the shop, stand behind the counter and play with cash register. I loved it! Whenever I was home playing with my friends I set up a table, with products on it, and just press and press the buttons on my own little cash register. It was the most amazing thing when I was little. So yes, I guess I wanted to become a cashier, and I still would enjoy it!

Skye Stracke – ‘Either in a band or a make up artist.’

Amanda Norgaard - ‘I wanted to be a librarian because I wanted to scan the books and make the beep sound!’

Dorothea Barth Jorgensen – ‘I've always wanted to become an actress’

Ali Michael – ‘I wanted to be a paleontologist because I was obsessed with dinosaurs. I also wanted to be a surgeon because I loved blood and guts.’

Toni Garrn – ‘I wanted to be a cashier at a grocery shop’

Frida Gustavsson – ‘A pilot. I just thought being able to fly high in the sky and being in control would be so amazing. I’ve always loved the feeling when you take off’

Nimue Smit – ‘A vet, because I loved animals.’

Hanne Gaby – ‘I wanted to be a psychologist who lived on a farm and was also involved in politics. And have a big tree house in the garden. That was my plan until I was 16, then school did study choice tests, and I got totally confused until I started modelling. I still want to live on a farm, and have a tree house of course’

Lindsey Wixson – ‘A chef, because my grandmother taught me to cook, or a lawyer, because I thought they were cool after watching Legally Blonde 2.’

Sara Blomqvist – ‘First I said I wanted to be a thief, but that was mainly because everyone else said they wanted to be cops, and I just wanted to contradict. What I really wanted to be was a vet, at least most of the time’

Kasia Struss – ‘I wanted to have my own grocery store’

Sigrid Agren – ‘When I was little, I wanted to be a volcanologist because there is a volcano on the island I grew up in, Martinique, and it fascinated me!’

Jac – ‘I had many ideas! From five to eight years old, I wanted to be a vet (as I was an animal maniac.) Then from eight to ten years old, a teacher (I have no idea why!) and then a chef, archaeologist etc …. now I just know it's impossible to plan my future’
