What are your opinions on living in the North of England? And do you believe that you need to move to or travel regularly to London to have an ac ve successful modelling career? Well I LOVE living in Yorkshire, and I live here by choice. But it does hurt my career, and the pull to move to London for both music and modelling is very hard to resist. I might have to give in like everyone else does – and don’t get me wrong, I’m very lucky to work on the London scene! I do believe that there’s so much talent in the North that we should celebrate it and do some great work together up here (like you and I did, Jasia!) But there is no ques on that a model that aspires for the top needs to live in, or frequently travel to London.
How different do you find modelling in different countries? I’ve only modelled seriously in the UK, but I know through my work as a diversity advocate that the French appear to be very closed-minded about using curvier models, while the Italian market seems more squeamish about models of colour. I have a lot of fans in Brazil!
You work for Models of Diversity, tell us a li le about this. Models of Diversity is a London-based non-profit organiza on which advocates for more diversity in models, and demands that the fashion and marke ng industries recognise the beauty in women and men of all races, ages, shapes, sizes, abili es, genders and sexual orienta ons. Our mission is to change the face of fashion and modelling! We are a campaign founded to stand for equal rights and opportuni es within the modelling and fashion industry. MoD is now backed by the Bri sh Fashion Council and we’ve joined with Equali es Minister Lynne Featherstone for the government’s campaign on body confidence.
