social should used
I have set up several businesses as social businesses, and I am a great believer that the power of business should be used for good.
lips bags mascara
I usually have a lip balm in my bag and mascara as well. I don't really wear much make-up, but I like mascara because I've got fair colouring.
creativity ideas clothes
There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.
fashion issues film
Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.
heart years acting
Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.
motivation ambition keys
Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.
pale-skin ravens black
Every time I have to try on a wig for work, I get excited about the colour; I've often thought about going for a platinum bob or also raven black, as it looks so great against pale skin. But I always end up being loyal to my red colour.
who-i-am issues people
People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
way looks unusual
I have made a living off the way I look, and I have really learnt to accept myself for being unusual.
ideas knowing advertising
I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling.
men different culture
The narrative of so many fairy tales are timeless in so many different cultures, and they have been since the dawn of man. They represent escapism, but they all feature themes that have such poignancy in a modern world.
simple ideas bored
I started modeling at 14. It's simple. You respond to what the photographer wants and wear other people's ideas. I got bored with it, though, so I went to university.
ideas sculpture paint
I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.
fashion thinking trying
I guess I try and learn all the time from every experience in life, so my thinking is a hybrid of everything. I'd have to attribute some of that to my work in the fashion industry - in some obscure way.
