I worry about how accessible cosmetic surgery has become. Of course, if it has genuinely helped people, and their confidence has grown as a result; who am I to form an opinion?

I'm too diplomatic. I tend to edit my mind before I speak - it can be incredibly draining.

Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys.

It's a very intimate thing to invite someone into your home; there's a lot of trust involved.

It's a big shame that when you have a platform to write about Save the Children, the media interest lies with my moral alignment.

I'm interested in looking for solutions because it's become the case that in fashion you're either a villain or a victim. Look at the industry's very limited remit in terms of body size, for example.

I have previously been a very enthusiastic consumer, and I didn't think about the origins of garments enough.

I do like shopping high street, but I do consider the long-term value of a specific piece and, also, one day giving it up for somebody else to love and enjoy.

I think there is some resistance when people talk about ethical fashion, and a tendency to panic that if you're bringing a moral agenda and highlighting the origins of the garments, you can't incorporate style. But there's no reason why style and conscience can't co-exist.

Rejection is, of course, part of any successful model's career, as ironic as that sounds. It's how you pick yourself up and get on with the job.

Starting my career in London was no accident because the city and the industry here are all about theatre and drama, and I respond well to that.

Water - I drink gallons of it! You can use the most luxurious skincare products in the world, but they won't work as well if you do not hydrate from inside.

I have a regular cleansing, toning and moisturising routine.

I lead a very busy life and don't have a lot of time, so my skincare needs to be easy and portable.

I love vintage clothes. But they don't love me very much. It is difficult to find anything that fits me because of my height, but if I do fall in love with something, I'll buy it and display it like a work of art at home.

My perfect bag would be practical but also have the stylish element to it; it would be bold and colourful. I would actually be able to open and close it. That would be a first.

I had one particular handbag disaster when I couldn't get into it, and when I finally did, it flew over the red carpet and was caught by 200 lenses. Not a great moment.

Conformism is a potent statement, and as much as we do talk about individuality in fashion, there's a sense that people are fearful of not conforming and not being part of action.

It's not about hiding your imperfections on a shoot; it's about embracing them and being unapologetic about them.

I'm bad at rationalisation - very bad.
