YOU’VE ALSO CO-DESIGNED YOUR OWN LATEX COLLECTION WITH VIOLACEOUS LATEX. TELL US ABOUT THIS VENTURE…I have indeed and I am so very proud of that. I studied Fashion in college & then in Uni but quit after the 1st year as the course just wasn’t right for me and seemed to be just the wrong time in life to be there. I intended on getting the knowledge of fashion, pattern cutting etc to hopefully create my own latex someday. So I am so appreciative of Annabelle of Violaceous Latex giving me the opportunity to express my creativity and providing her incredible skills in the making of the designs. We worked so well together and the collection turned out exactly how we imagined and it’s great to see my favourite models wearing the designs! Check it out at www.violaceouslatex.co.uk OTHER THAN LATEX, WHAT OTHER TYPES OF CLOTHING DO YOU LOVE? I am a funny one really, I go through phases all depending on my mood. I love the comfy style of denim hotpants, a cute top and a pair of vans and other times I completely vamp it up in black velvet and killer heels. I’m definitely one for dressing up to go on a night out! When I was younger I used to look very gothic and then went through a stage of skateboarding and now I’m a mix, depending on my mood but more toned down & mature! WHAT HAVE BEEN SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE MODELLING SHOOTS? I really enjoy the liquid latex shoots with PhotographAmy! The cold running liquid feels so nice against my skin and even though it hurts to pull off at the end, it’s really fun! I feel ultra sexy whilst dripping with hot pink goo, its not something you get to do every day. I actually really like shoots that are different to the usual latex as its something new and I feel inspired.
