• Name

George Elliot

• Age

18

• Starsign

Capricorn

• Hometown

Leigh-on-Sea

• Best thing to do in your hometown

Go to the beach!

• How did you get into modeling / where were you scouted

I was scouted by Cesar Perin whilst shopping with a friend on Brick Lane.

• What else do you do?

What I do in my spare time usually revolves around sport or music – going to professional football games, raving!

• Were you interested in fashion before you got into modeling

I was, but a different style of fashion – more urban/street

• Favourite designers

Vivienne Westwood’s menswear is very smart!

• Most loved possession in your wardrobe

Probably a vintage shirt I picked up a while back (as you know it’s a one-off)!

• What’s your take on the modeling industry?

From what I can work out it’s quite a peculiar industry in some ways. It seems cut throat for some, and for some very glamorous. However, it’s similar to other industries in that there are massive variations within it. To generalize from my first experiences would be unfair.

• What are you most looking forward to doing being a model?

Travelling!

• Who do you most want to model for?

Burberry would be cool, as a British guy.

• Who are your favourite models?

Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington Whitely.

• Fashion week survival tip

Don’t try too hard.

• Most played tune on your iPod

At the moment Geddes, ‘Uncanny’.

• Worst job you’ve ever had

Glass collector in a bar. Grafting away while everyone around you is having fun…

• What do you like to do when you’re in London

In the day, shop and eat. At night, party.

• What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done

Not too sure… probably something which occurred at an after party of some kind – I’ll leave that to the imagination.
