I really relished the opportunity to go on Sky News and talk about mental health among teen girls. (Scroll down a bit if you want to miss out my typed words and just watch the […]
Today’s #ModelCrushMonday emanates a glow from within. It’s Braina Laviena, who started out as Kanye’s PA and got promoted to being his muse, his model… …And is now working in her own right! As a […]
Well…The sun is shining (at least today it is, anyway) and I thought I’d share another recipe! This smoothie uses my Naturya Fruit Blend, which I’ve previously reviewed. It really adds a tasty kick to […]
So. We heard today. We didn’t get it 🙁 Even though I know it’s all part of modelling, and I’ve been doing it for 14 years…It’s pretty crushing to not get a job you set […]
I have a confession. I don’t wear deodorant. This is often met with a shocked and slightly disgusted face. The fact is – I’m not much of a sweater, as it were. I totally got […]
Welcome to Day 2 of Jay’s Modeltypeface Takeover – we’re getting to the nitty gritty and talking about how a photographer uses light today. So, one of the best things a model can do to […]
OMG! I am so excited about today’s post! You see, I have always wondered what it’s like for the people holding the commercial castings. The ones that get to watch us, in all our Fiery […]
So, I headed off on a beautiful sunny day to my casting, and sat inside a the dingy bit of Spring Studios. Spring Studios is the fanciest of studios, where the top photographers and companies […]
So here’s my latest vlog, all about getting a natural base with a great glow, which is perfect for castings. As I say in the video, it’s all about getting your YOU-NESS across – no […]
Hello! Do check out my latest vlog, which is all about how to get a conversation going, even when clients seem to be determined to completely ignore your presence (that they have requested). I do […]
Smiling in photos, professional or otherwise, is something a lot of people find tricky. You get lots of rictus grins and smiles that don’t reach the eyes and lips self-consciously covering up teeth. Then people […]
Yes I know, Pop Idol was ages ago, but so was this Day in the Life of a Model. Events proceeded as such… Aged 17, I walked into my then agency with my Mum, who […]
Hello all! Well this is exciting – Modeltypeface has a mention in National newspaper The Sun, debating whether or not Paris should have a law against models with a BMI lower than 18. I stand […]
To all the wonderful Mums out there – thank you for all the nurturing, the caring, the love and the courage you instil in us. Most of all, Happy Mother’s Day to the two best, […]
I want to talk about People Tree. They are a Fair Trade clothing label who work incredibly hard, with all their hearts, to establish fair pay and decent working conditions for garment workers across the […]
Hello, I write to you gingerly with aching arms and even more aching buttocks: this morning I was indoctrinated into the cult exercise class ‘The Skinny Bitch Collective’, founded by Russell Bateman. Written about in […]
Hello all! Here’s my vlog on how to care for your skin during THE most stressful part of a model’s career: Fashion Week. Of course I know when FW is amazing. When you’re out on […]
So yesterday we heard some stellar advice from Billy Bookings for surviving Fashion Week…But it’s only us models who have really lived through the awful ‘feet on the ground’ experience: the impossibly high amount of […]
Happy Valentines Day! It doesn’t matter if you’re in a relationship or single, because it should all be about self-love anyway. For me it doesn’t go much deeper than an opportunitiy to eat a chocolate […]
Hello readers! Next week is very exciting: it’s the run-up to London Fashion Week! I want to give my readers a whole week of advice from the experts before the madness descends, so I’ll be treating […]
Lots of you fell in love with Dorrit after reading my post dedicated to her life. She was a truly inspiring woman. She drew this wonderful portrait of me that I will treasure forever: […]
Check out my interview with the lovely team at Photolink. I go up to their studio in Manchester once or twice a month to shoot e-commerce up there. Sounds like a drag? Not at all! […]
Hello all! Next up in the Modeltypeface series ‘Only Human’, allow me to describe the shameful shenanigans that beset my latest shoot. So I was in Manchester with my favourite team, the Photolink crew. In […]
Here we are again, looking at the model poses that baffle me…Even as I find myself doing them. And today, we have… Look 3: P*ssing in the Street! I diligently developed these bright white ankle […]
Hello! I’ve created a few photos for a mini-series called ‘POSES I DON’T GET!’ They were photographed by my ever-patient boyfriend, Theo, who I think rather enjoyed the role of photographer/stylist. I gave him strict instructions not […]
I love my tea. I’m British, after all, plus my Mum’s side of the family are from India where they worked on tea plantations – so I definitely think that tea love is in my […]
Us models need our beauty sleep: it’s the recipe to refreshed skin, the requisite boundless energy on long shoots and that all-important inner glow. It’s a shame our job isn’t really conducive to a good night’s […]
So! Here’s my latest vlog. As I describe in the video, It’s been AGES since my last one because I’ve been so worried I’m crap at it! However I read an interview with Tanya Burr, […]
1) ALWAYS wear matching underwear. In modelling, there can be no such thing as a pair of ‘period pants’. Your fave huge comfy patterned Calvin Kleins do not go with a black Wonderbra. That look […]
Face wipes get a bad press – lots of leading brands’ ones are loaded with alcohol and other nasty chemicals, and can really dry and stress your skin out. They’re also not a one-step cleansing solution as they […]
Allow me to introduce the delightful Charlotte Carter-Allen. In my case, her reputation precedes her. “Do you know Charlotte Carter-Allen? Ridiculous body and face, shouldn’t possibly exist, and annoyingly she’s really clever and funny,” is the general […]
Here’s a vid I did for Marks & Spencers, that’s now totalling over 30k views! That’s so exciting for me! It was such a fun day of posing and is a veritable lesson in hair-swooshing (number […]
My name is Rebecca Pearson and I’m a chocoholic. I like to pretend that I’m a classy chocolate fan – I can enjoy an 85% fancy pants £3 bar of chocolate, or pretend that I […]
I have always loved and admired Calvin Klein campaigns. There’s always a sense of serene drama featuring models with heart-stoppingly natural beauty, yet always with an edge. I can easily mentally summon up my favourite images in a […]
Hello readers! Have a look at my latest job – a video for House of Fraser. Not to sound vain, but it’s a veritable masterclass in how to still model well despite wearing a Victorian weightlifter/Mr Motivator-type affair […]
Hello everyone and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Perhaps your skinny jeans feel as tight as mine (the words gastric band spring to mind) (and probably the words ‘camel toe’ to everyone else’s…). […]
Did you read Louise’s interview with Modeltypeface a week or so ago? She talked us through her battles with her body image and how happy she now is having become pregnant. Lots of people gave […]
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 needs a little collection of recipes to cook. How do I know? Because, when I was travelling a lot more, I couldn’t cook for toffee. I remember my first time away in Paris […]
