PONY RYDER: You are undoubtedly the new „IT“ girl. Once again, a cool girl is coming from the London fashion scene. Is London style a goldmine for cool talent?
ELIZA CUMMINGS: What is an “it girl”? I hate it being classed as an it girl, I’m a model.
PONY RYDER: What did you do before modeling? How and when did your story start?
ELIZA CUMMINGS: Well I left school because I got bullied and went and worked at Toni and Guy. My mum was at the London College of Fashion at the time and one of her teachers saw a picture of me and said “Take he to an agency” so my mum took me into select and they took me on. When I got my first job, Italian Vogue which was a big shock because I thought I could never do this in a million years.
paired with Ash and you were appearing together on many covers, editorials and even polaroids and videos. Was this a deliberate or a spontaneous approach?
ELIZA CUMMINGS: Well I didn’t want any of that to happen, it just did when me and Ash first met - it was crazy because everyone was like “You look just like each other!” and then we became a couple and we had so much fun but we had to end it because of all this mumbo jumbo was doing are heads in. But we are still really good friends and still work together, we have so much fun.
PONY RYDER: Your Vogue Italia April cover is splendid! Do you feel that a cover and an editorial such as that particular issue of Vogue Italia is the real you (in the sense of a high fashion sophisticated model), or do you prefer the image of a “wild girl”?
ELIZA CUMMINGS: Yeah, I love the cover because it is the real me, I look just like it. Everyone that doesn’t know me is saying “OMG Photoshop!” but its not, that’s the real me. I love working with Steven, he brings out the softer side of me and it is the real me. I am no punk like everyone says. As Tom Jones puts it - “im a lady”. Wild girl haha! Yeah, when it comes to shoots, people dress me as a punk so to show on the camera I change my personality so it shows I’m a punk in the camera.
