How many fashion weeks have you done before?
None! This is my first. I've done Australian Fashion Week though.

How many shows have you got on?
I either have 11 or 19 shows... I'm not sure! I've had three emails about fashion week with updates and I'm not sure how many I'm doing anymore.

Which of those are you most looking forward to walking?
I'm excited about Kate Sylvester.

Greatest modelling fear?
Falling over. Or having really high heels to walk in.

What do you think are three essential things for models to have during fashion week?
A hairbrush to get all the product out between shows, lunch in case there's not enough food, and a phone.
