New Faces
Photography Alasdair McLellan
What do you do and why do you do it?
I model and I write music. I model because it's an incredible opportunity, and I write because I have to-it's ingrained in me.
Describe yourself in five words.
Creative, weird, slick, messy, thoughtful.
How did you start your career?
I was scouted in Glasgow by a model scout who runs No 15 Scouts. He took me to Viva and we hit it off.
What was your big break?
A turning point for me was walking for Burberry Prorsum last year.
What are you working on at the moment?
I've been working on music a lot recently, and constantly writing and drawing.
What advice would you give young people wishing to follow in your footsteps?
Do it on your own terms. Stick to your guns.
We're celebrating the 35th Anniversary Issue of i-D, when did you last celebrate and what was the occasion?
I celebrated my three-year anniversary with my boyfriend last month.
What excites you most about tomorrow?
The unknown!
Tell us one thing that no one knows about you.
Not telling. Mystery is key.
What's your party trick?
I make a mean bar of raw chocolate.
Finish this sentence: 35 is the new…
Whatever you want it to be.
