ca ec b RH e ayden Twenty Two year old model Rebecca Hayden gives us an insight into her life and how it has changed ever since being discovered and signed to M+P models. Growing up in a small countryside village did you ever think of working in fashion or even ending up being a model? I have always enjoyed fashion and clothes from a young age, I even had little tantrums when I was about three that I didn’t want to wear this or that and would kick my shoes off until I got to wear the ones I wanted! I guess you could say I was a bit of a fashion queen from a young age! How did your career begin? Well I was at the Clothes show in Birmingham just browsing the market stools they have there, and a woman from M+P modelling agency approached me, it was all very surreal and happened very quickly! You have been lucky enough to travel between London and Paris which city did you prefer? Paris is amazing, however London is where my heart is. I have been travelling to London my whole life, I know it so well 51 and I love the character of the city and the diversity it brings. Paris was beautiful though, just not as homely and familiar as London is to me. What does beauty mean to you? Beauty can mean many things, one being the obvious beauty, however I think everyone is beautiful these days. Models are becoming more and more unique in their looks so it depends what you personally find attractive! However remember beauty is on the inside too and an ugly personality can make the most beautiful women ugly. Being a model I have seen a fair few ‘ugly’ people. When you are away travelling what do you do to keep you grounded? I like to read; I try and read most days. The thing that keeps me grounded though is my family I love it when they can travel with me, you can be 100% yourself with them and they are always looking out for your best interests.
