1883 Magazine interview

Words by Ginger Clark
How did you get started?
I started through my mother agency, an hour away from my home in Lytham - this lead me to Elite where I was a finalist in the Elite Model Look competition. My first main job was Fashion Week, the day I landed from holiday!
If you weren’t modeling, what would you be doing right now?
I would be at university, studying nutrition or sports therapy... And drinking too much, obviously...it’s university.
What designers would you most like to work for if you haven’t already?
I would love to work with Ralph Lauren or Vivienne Westwood, her shows are always amazing.
What excites you the most, runway or editorial?
Oooo I love a bit of both. The excitement and adrenalin of shows is incredible but the end product of an editorial, when an amazing team creates a story, is just as incredible.
Describe the industry in three words:
Spontaneous, exciting and enlightening.
What has been your favourite moment so far in your career?
My WEIRDEST favourite moment would be meeting the Head Casting Director for Hermes in a toilet whilst I was working in a VIP catering tent at a festival back at home in the North West. What are the chances?!
But my best moment would have to be working on a three day shoot for the French connection campaign with Rankin - his team run like clockwork and his chef makes the most divine banquets!
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
Fly! It would make Fashion Week a breeze!!
Guilty pleasure:
Is it really possible to choose one?! Crunchy Peanut butter and lots of coffee!
