[FONT="]What’s your Fashion Week experience been so far?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I’ve actually been ill for the past two weeks and this is my first show… So far so good![/FONT]
[FONT="]How are you finding it?[/FONT]
[FONT="]It is great fun – as you can see the shows are always a bit mad! [Pointing to his painted chin and gold-foil nails][/FONT]
[FONT="]What keeps you going during the hectic show season?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I think it is everyone being here, the whole atmosphere! The energy of the entire place, it is really hectic now but in the end everything always comes together.[/FONT]
[FONT="]How do you prepare for the shows?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I am kind of used to them now – it is all about making sure you listen to the choreographer![/FONT]
[FONT="]What is it like to be on a catwalk?[/FONT]
[FONT="]It is good. I like it anyway; it is a very surreal feeling. Just before you walk the show you get really nervous, but then once you’re up there it all goes away.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Do you have special good-luck charm that you always take with you?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I have a gold ring that is in the back of my jeans now, I wear it to all my shoots and some photographers let me leave it on whilst others ask me to take it off. That ring means a lot to me because it used to be my granddads and then my dads… And then it got passed down to me![/FONT]
[FONT="]If you could walk to any song, what would it be?[/FONT]
[FONT="]I would most probably have something that no one would know of, like, “Look What the Cat Dragged In” by the Giggs![/FONT]
[FONT="]What is the most rewarding part of your job?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Apart from the money, definitely travelling. Getting sent to all these amazing locations, staying in nice hotels… Seeing the world basically![/FONT]
