How are you finding this Fashion Week?
So far it is good, it’s only my second day here… I went to a great party last night [Elite x Katie Eary x Rollacoaster LFW event] and that was great fun! The highlight would have to be walking for Katie Eary yesterday, which was awesome! We had these crazy elf ears and Kanye [West] was there… It was pretty amazing to say the least!

What’s your favourite part of Fashion Week?

Definitely, 100% - parties!!!!!

What keeps you going during a hectic show season?

I suppose apart from the money - it would be all the socialising that happens backstage and all the cool people you meet… Umm.. did I mention the parties???

What is the most rewarding thing about your job?

The most rewarding thing would be travelling – as well as the whole experience I guess!

Describe what it is like to be on a catwalk?

This is my second season and I have to say the first time is undeniably the best time - the adrenaline rush you get from being on the catwalk is just out of this world! After a while that same feeling sinks in a bit, but it’s still good. Just before you go out and the music’s pumping and you walk to that sick beat… You feel pretty cool… For example, I walked for Joseph Abboud show at NY Fashion Week and for the finale me and three other guys had to walk all together in line to an awesome tune wearing these sharp suits and tuxedos… I felt SO cool, like, YEAH I’m the man!!!

If you could walk to any song, what would it be?

It would probably change on a weekly basis, but right now I would have that song “Nightcall” from the film Drive.
Or the “Real Hero”. One of those two anyway!

In what ways do you prepare for the shows?

Sometimes I shave!

And finally, give me a random Fashion Week fact.

I would say that on an average casting day, not so much here in London but in Paris and Milan – especially Milan – I probably do about 6 miles of walking per day. Honestly, how crazy is that??!
