Favorite modeling experience so far?
Being introduced to a genuine fashion icon… shaking his hand and being so starstruck I forgot my own name!
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?

That would have to be my favourite brand, Burberry.

Australia! As a kid it started with Skippy and Steve Irwin, now I’d love to go surfing at Surfer’s Paradise. And that accent…
