1. How long have you been modeling for Ragged Priest? Is it something you enjoy doing? I’ve been modeling for them for around a year now, it came as a surprise actually, I didn’t apply for anything, the designer stumbled across my instagram, and contacted me through that. Yeah, it is something I enjoy, I’m not particularly aspiring to me a ‘full time model’, I just see it as something fun to do on the side. 2. What made you accept the offer to model for the brand? I mean, the invitation in general was just exciting to me, as I’d never been approached like that before, so it was nice! But also, I’d been following the brand for a while, practically since it started, I had a few of their garments before they approached me, so getting asked to work with them was a lovely gesture! 3. What do you like most about Ragged Priest? Before modeling for the brand, what attracted me the most was just the way the brand provides such a unique range of clothing/ garments. I enjoy how expressive the brands clothing can make you feel, their collections are always so unique and different, and I just feel it suits my personality. Ragged Priest isn’t scared of standing out from the crowd, and I feel that their garments make their customers feel that way - they provide confidence in a way! Once I’d modeled for the brand though, I really enjoyed the staff, they’re a friendly bunch, made me feel comfortable and I loved that! 4. If you could describe Ragged Priest in four words, what would they be? Playful, Unique, Exciting and Weird (but weird in a good way) 5. Do you think Ragged Priest benefits from being a standing concession in TOPSHOP, Oxford Street’s flagship store? I mean, the brand doesn’t have it’s own store at the moment, so any publicity is good publicity right? – I think TOPSHOP is the best high-street store for Ragged Priest to be stocked in yeah, like, TOPSHOP to me is one of the best high-street stores, and their customers are always excited for new, up-coming trends, so it works in Ragged Priest’s favor. It’s quite hard for customers to know that Ragged Priest is actually stocked at TOPSHOP though, so maybe a little more promotion about that wouldn’t hurt anyone!
