elitelondonHow was your fashion week experience?
Quite relaxing actually, I came in just two days ago so I haven’t been hanging around for too long. Past couple of days were all about late finishes and early starts but that is expected from Fashion Week so in a way I was prepared for that.
I have been to quite few castings, but they were all packed into just two days so it wasn’t that bad at all.
What keeps you going through the hectic show season?
It would be my iPod and a book that I am currently reading, “Molloy” by Samuel Beckett. It is quite a tough book, but it’s for my degree and I have to write an essay about it.
How do you prepare for the shows?
I turn up on time. That’s pretty much it.
If you could walk to any song, what would it be?
Not sure what song in particular, but I do like walking to a beat, so perhaps some old school hip-hop.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
Umm... Free food at the shows?
Describe what it is like to be on a catwalk?
I still get a rush before I go on it and a great buzz afterwards. I’ve been doing it for about a year and a half so I don’t get nervous anymore – nothing can go that wrong unless you trip up. It is literally just walking up and down!
What is the best part of Fashion Week?
Probably the day itself – it is far more interesting than having to dash around London to get to different castings all day.
And finally, what are you looking forward to the most once the Fashion Week is over?
I look forward to seeing some old mates from London as I’m down here for the week. I go to university in Bristol so it’s nice to get opportunities like this that I can come back to London for.
