— How did you become a model?
I was having dinner in a dumpling place with a friend in Melbourne’s CBD before we headed off to see a concert. Spencer (My lovely agent) approached me and introduced herself and was like “hey have you ever considered modelling”. It’s definitely a ‘fate’ type situation as I’d said to a few friends before my trip to Melbourne “oh when I get back from this weekend away, I’m gonna take some headshots and look into this modelling thing!” So, I think it was meant to be. The most random, inconspicuous place to be approached but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

— Who is your favorite entertainer?
I’m really into Ethel Cain at the moment! She’s this really strong storyteller, and all the music she puts out creates this overarching dark story. She’s created one of my favourite albums of all time. She’s also just been part of the Miu Miu LIVE FW23 campaign, and I think that’s so cool. Having the versatility to be a niche musical artist, but also be part of some major high fashion moments.

— One thing people may be surprised to find out about you:
Although I have this weird mish-mash accent, apparently some people are surprised to find out that I was born (and spent half my life) in the south of England. It surprises me because a lot the words I say still sound SO British, and I most definitely don’t have a proper Australian accent, even after seven years. I’ve also recently had a lot of people asking me at work whether I’m Scandinavian? I think it’s the blonde hair / blonde eyebrows thing, but people are genuinely surprised when I tell them no!
