horse father grateful
My father taught me how to draw horses - for this I shall be eternally grateful.
skins cream wells
I prefer using cream-based products on my skin. I love having that summery dewy skin - I like using cream blushers as well.
thinking jeans fancy
I tend to splurge on fancy dresses because I always think I'll get a lot of wear out of them, but it's false logic. You should really spend more money on the things you wear every day, like jeans.
fashion thinking different
I think there's more room for different representations of women within fashion imagery.
differences people knows
I don't like it when people don't know the difference between 'their', 'they're', 'there'.
role-models political roles
I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.
simple thinking chic
I think Maje typifies that French vibe where it's simple items that are very practical, very wearable but also, like, incredibly chic and expensive-looking.
bored one-thing ifs
I would get very bored if I just did one thing.
song fun play
DJing for people is fun until someone comes up with a phone screen that has 'PLAY SOME RIHANNA' written on it. I prefer to play older songs because they're the ones I personally enjoy dancing and singing along to and modern dance music bores my brains out.
guitar play trying
I play guitar a bit. I'm trying to learn drums - I feel like I can play violin. I've never tried, but I just feel like I can.
fashion new-york style
London Fashion Week is so different from any of the others. Compared to the strictness in New York, London seems freer from commercial constraints. Truer to the process, to street style, to a sense of humour.
girl dream fashion
I think it's every girl's dream, a little bit, to be a model because it seems from the outside to be a glamorous industry and I was really into fashion, and I remember just being excited and wanting to be part of that.
photography fashion thinking
It's shot by Ben Rayner who I think is very talented at doing portrait photography as well as fashion photography. His images never look like a model. You know, it doesn't look like a faceless model just wearing whatever. There's always personality that comes through. That was quite important for me to capture.
dad cutting years
My dad cut my hair once - I wanted a bob and he gave me a bowl cut. That was a tough few years.
