Maisie Gardner, 16, Colchester, Essex
How were you discovered?
I was scouted at a Vampire Weekend concert at the O2, just over a year ago.
What would you be doing if you weren't modelling?
I am currently still at school, so nothing would be that different, however I imagine I'd probably have a Saturday job, most likely working in a shop
Who is your favourite model?
Lily Cole, I think she's amazing as she's achieved so much and is talented in so many different ways.
If you could be photographed by anyone in the world past or present, who would you choose?
Steven Meisel, because he's such an iconic photographer.
What's the best thing about being young today?
I think that, compared to our grandparents, we have far less social issues that hold us back and therefore have more freedom to choose the futures we want.
What's your social media of choice and why?
I absolutely love Instagram because I think a photo gives such a detailed version of what people have been up to, from best friends to celebrities.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
You are not better than anyone, yet no one is better than you.
If you could ask the world one question and get an answer, what would you ask?
I think I'd like to do an official poll and find out whether more people love marmite or hate it.
What slang word/phrase do you use the most and what does it mean?
The one that stands out to me most, because I get annoyed whenever I say it, is "yeah no I know" instead of just "yeah I know" ever since someone pointed out to me that it doesn't make any sense.
What's your favourite…
…film? It's always been Monster's Inc, ever since I was four!
…album? Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys.
…place to go out? Anywhere with live music.
…place in the world? Marco Island, Florida
