• Name

Sam Mason

• Age

24

• Starsign

Aquarius

• Hometown

Guildford

• Best thing to do in your hometown

Walk up to Pewley downs on a sunny day to relax with friends.

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

I was scouted at Reading Festival by Cesar Perin from Unsigned MGMT.

• Were you interested in fashion before you got into modeling

Not particularly. I’ve always appreciated nice clothes but only really gained fashion knowledge when I started modeling.

• Favourite designers

Tom Ford and Paul Smith

• Most loved possession in your wardrobe

A knackered old knitwear hoodie I bought from Topman when I was 18. Got a few holes in it but it’s still very cosy and has travelled around the world with me.

• What’s your take on the modeling industry

It’s unpredictable. Although the work can be fun and exciting, it’s hard to make plans outside of modeling because a lot of bookings are very last minute. It’s important to be yourself and to not take yourself too seriously, but also respect the people you work with.

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

Earning some money to help finance other things I really want to do. For me that means being able to afford studio time to record my music properly.

• Who do you most want to model for

Tom Ford

• Who are your favourite models?

Patrick Petitjean just looks very cool. A bearded wonder.

• What else do you do

I’ve been playing guitar for 14 years and I write and record my own music. It’s been a solo thing for a while but I’m looking to form a new band:

• Fashion week survival tip

Keep your phone charged and get a map.

• Most played tune on your iPod

‘Four Kicks’ by Kings of Leon.

• Worst job you’ve ever had

Waiter. Well, technically it was just a trial shift. I spilt red wine on the same man twice. So really it was the worst job I almost had…

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

Hmm. I’m quite scared of heights but I did a skydive in New Zealand. I actually loved it and wanted to do it again straight away!
