I don’t know about other markets, but modelling in London in January is rather slow. There are jobs and castings, definitely – but it’s rarely the most satisfying satisfying month of work. Plus – can I be honest […]
You always want what you don’t have, and I would LOVE to have curly hair! I love the way it announces the wearer’s entrance when arriving in a room, the fact that it’s an instant […]
Just in case you missed it, you can see Part I of Louise’s wonderful interview with Modeltypeface on the previous post – she doesn’t mince her words! With no further ado, here’s Part II! R: Though […]
I’ve known the beautiful Louise Adkins for 11 years now. We were New Faces at Select together, but that’s where I felt any similarities ended. Picturing Louise in the Select offices all those years ago, I […]
Every model has great boots: FACT. I learnt, very early on, that every model needs: – A ginormous bag housing your book, a hairbrush, heels and a trillion Pret receipts. – A pair of skinny jeans […]
I find it very hard to keep up my healthy eating habits when the temperature drops. The bikini casting tomorrow tells me I should be drinking my green juice and munching on salads…But I know that will […]
I’ll be honest with you. When Coco Rocha said that she’d answer a few questions for Modeltypeface, I ran around in circles for 5 minutes, called my boyfriend and spoke in excited, monosyllabic utterances and […]
Every New Face needs a model to look up to – it helps gives us inspiration to set out the sort of career path we want to follow, and motivation to keep us wanting to […]
Believe me – I take problem skin really seriously. Having had acne three times in my life so far (at 16, 19 and 21), I realise what it’s like to walk around feeling ashamed of […]
Everyone gets jealous in the fashion industry. There is always a girl who’s prettier, has a better body, a more winning smile, a better personality. There’s always a photographer getting more work, or a make up […]
Yesterday, I did my first ever full-on lingerie shoot. I have obviously worn swimwear and the odd underwear set on jobs, but a lingerie client has never booked me to represent their brand. This has […]
To give you an idea of why one might need to think about maintaining a relationship in modelling, let me give you a couple of examples of what my boyfriend, Theo, has had to deal […]
I remember a really arsey hair stylist getting annoyed at me a couple of years ago. “What do you use on your hair? It’s not in great condition.” (FYI I thought my hair felt lovely!) […]
So, my next ‘Model Dictionary’ entry is… NIPPLE HASSLES! This is the general hassle, boomf and pain that arises whilst possessing a pair of nipples in the fashion industry. Common problems include: – Sheer agony […]
I’m not remotely embarrassed to say this: Emily is one of those girls that I can’t help sometimes feeling a bit jealous of. Whenever I see her, she has an enormous grin on her face, […]
Commercial castings are castings for the ads you see on TV. Why do we want adverts? Well – they can pay quite well, and if the rights to the advert are bought in multiple countries […]
How is this even worthy of a post? I hear you ask. What possible need for help could a person have to send a simple email?… Well…. Agencies get hundreds of emails every week from […]
As my last blog post on Kendall Jenner being bullied highlighted, models are burdened with misconceptions of bitchiness, backstabbing and hunger-induced nastiness. Apparently we all beatifically fight one another all the time Well let me […]
Hello reader, So far my posts have been fairly witty (I’d like to think), informative and supportive. Well today I’m ANGRY. I just read this rather mean article: http://theblot.com/an-open-letter-to-kendall-jenner-about-her-model-bullying-7725835 Which desperately attempts to justify bullying […]
Steve Read is an absolutely ACE photographer. Every day his Instagram feed will be full of the ridiculously hot beautiful models – often posing in their smalls. All the pics in this blog post are […]
