Live Streaming... The F/W 2025.26 Fashion Shows
elitelondonElite: Hi Cole! Can you talk us through your tatts?
Cole: They're all hand-made, me and my flatmate do them on each other.
E: Are any of them particularly special to you?
C: Yeah sure, they all are. Some more than others but I won't tell which ones - it's a secret!
E: Oh ok! What are you planning on doing this week if the weather stays as gorgeous as it is today?
C: I'm flying out to NY this afternoon so I'm gonna go to my friend's beach house in Montauk on Long Island, and then I'm off to my girlfriend's house upstate as she's got her spring break now so if the weather stays pretty - looks like it's going to be an awesome week!
E: What does your average day-off consists off?
C: I usually go skateboarding or go for walks and look at nice flowers, listen to loud music and do tattoos! And canoodling with my bird, of course!
E: If you could have anyone play your character in a film who would it be?
C: Marlon Brando. And the film would be "Junior" where Arnold Schwarzenegger was pregnant! "My body - my choice!"
E: ...And who would play your character's lady?
C: Anne Bancroft - I mean she's dead now, but she was hot!
E: As an experienced traveller, what gets you through a long-haul flight?
C: Whatever movies I haven't seen more than ten times and I usually try and have some sort of terrible nap that makes me feel awful afterwards... And the exquisite food of course!
E: What was your last tweet/Facebook status about?
C: I don't have Facebook or Twitter, I honestly don't do any of that.
E: So does that mean you're not following your fan-blogs and Facebook fan pages....?
C: Yes, I have been made aware of several blogs! [laughing] Don't you know that I make all of them?! Kidding!
E: Do you ever google your name or check out any of these blogs?
C: Not unless someone else has got them up and is showing them to me... I've seen my face plenty of times in a mirror before and it's pretty boring! [blushing]
E: Is someone a little shy...?
C: Yeah, just a little!
E: You know the bad-boy image you are trying to portray......
C: Hey, I'm not trying to portray anything - I used to be a 'bad boy' in the past and now everyone has that impression of me that I'm some sort of messed up 'burn-out', but I'm totally not! I just like to get a lot of tattoos which is probably why many people think that...
E: Yeah right! What about the whole swagger?!...
C: I have a hurt hip, [laughing] it's not a swagger it's a limp! I seriously have a busted hip and that's why I walk like that! I'm not trying to be cool - I've never been cool on purpose!
E: So you definitely don't live up to the stereotypes then?
C: I used to be really horrible before and now I'm probably better than anyone thought I could ever be. I'm a good boy now, do things like yoga and am a proper nerd - I'm all man now!
E: What, like reading books and stuff?...
C: I occasionally read books, in fact I am currently reading a book called "Clerk Fluid" written by a coolest dude ever who is an artist I really like; he's just this punk-rock genius guy from Texas where I'm from.
E: How very 'bad-boy' of you!
C: Yes, very bad-boy of me indeed - P Diddy style!
E: Cool... Seeing that you've been in the modelling business for some time now you must have received loads of freebies - what's the best freebie you ever got?
C: I got given a custom-made suit by Hedi Slimane when he was at Dior!
E: Wowza. Do you still have it?
C: [laughing] Ahem, No... I gave it to one of my friends, it fit him better as my shoulders got wider! I regret it now immensely, but you know, these things happen!
E: What would you be doing if you weren't a model?
C: I'm really into the current NY art scene and collecting art - a lot of my friends are artists and we are kind of 'recreating' the whole Andy Warhol scene... My passion (aside from modelling, of course!) is to curate art - few of my friends are established artist and we already talked about maybe holding an exhibition sometime in the future.
E: What type of art would you exhibit?
C: I would definitely try and create a niche - but nothing too 'underground' as some would assume!
E: So do you create your own art or just collect work from other artists?
C: I'm mainly into collecting, but then I do get inspired a lot and I love to express myself through art - however I would never do something like tilting a can of coke sideways and call it an 'art installation'!
E: Cool, that's a wrap! What are you looking forward to the most this afternoon?
C: Even though it's a long time away, I'm looking forward to being in New York in my bed this evening. I've also been promised a massage when I get back!
Thanks for the chat Cole - we wish you all the best! xx
