One of the best things about modelling, is the travelling that you get to do. So far I’ve been lucky enough to go to many places, like Bulgaria, New York, Croatia, Switzerland and Trinidad with work….but one part of the world that I’m desperate to see is East and Southeast Asia!
I’m fascinated by the culture, food and of course the fashion!!!
In Japan (namely Tokyo) the young people have devised a whole sub-culture of street fashion - where they mix and match outrageous, colourful pieces and create one-off über styled outfits….

I love it!

Then there are the more traditional fashions of beautiful silk kimono’s, which are just so incredibly elegant and beautiful. I wore one for a shoot once and I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever felt more like a lady!

Japan is also the home of so many iconic fashion designers such as; Rei Kawakubo (founder of Commes des Garcons), Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake….

Now if that’s not a sign that this country knows what it’s doing when it comes to fashion, I don’t know what is!! lol

Then there’s the food….. oh my goodness, where would I be without sushi, sashimi, katsu curry and soy sauce??? I am a LOVER of Japanese foods and just can’t wait to try more and more new dishes but something tells me, I’m not going to get a true representation of most dishes from Wagamammas or Yo!Sushi!

I need to get to Japan!!! - so fingers crossed, maybe work will take me there this year… Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong…..TAKE ME TO ASIA!
