Would you tell us the story of your very first casting?
My first casting was in September 2025, for a London Fashion Week show. I remember being really nervous. It was on the third floor of an office building, and I shared the lift with another model — someone who had clearly been doing this for years. I just remember thinking her comp card and casting outfit looked so much more professional than mine (Laughs, E.D.).

If you could take on a role other than being a model when you’re on set, what would it be?
The photographer, without a doubt. I’ve always been interested in photography, and I think I have an eye for it. I see beauty in everyday moments, and capturing that must be such a pleasure.

Do you have any creative hobbies?
Yes, I produce electronic music, mainly house, and I also DJ.

What does your ideal breakfast look like?
A little bit of everything, like in a fancy hotel. Eggs, avocado, toast, lots of fresh fruit, yoghurt, pastries and, of course, plenty of coffee.

Are you the type who’s always running late or always perfectly on time?
Honestly, I can be both. I work part‑time in a bar, and I’m always running late for that. But when it comes to modelling, I’m the opposite — I always arrive at least 15 minutes early for castings and jobs.

Do you prefer listening to music or to podcasts?
Music. I do enjoy a podcast now and then on a long car journey, but music definitely takes the top spot for me. I live and breathe it. I’m studying for a degree in music production, and I’m constantly digging for undiscovered gems.

What’s the one thing you can’t travel without?
A passport, technically (Laughs, E.D.). But probably my headphones or my washbag. Both are essential.

In your opinion, what’s the worst fashion trend ever invented?
All of them (Smiles, E.D.). Trends are a bit daft in my eyes. I never bought into them, so I couldn’t even pick one. You shouldn’t let what’s popular or ‘in’ dictate what you wear — just wear what you think is cool.
