About Me
Hi, I'm Fiona,
I'm a Commercial/Lifestyle Model and Presenter and have been for the last 12 years. I left the corporate world where I had a career as an Account Manager / Marketing Manager and Brand Manager within the luxury goods market for LVMH, Tag Heuer and DKNY Childrens Wear. I was so disillusioned with sales, targets, forcasts and mostly working very hard to line someone else's pockets! It was time to do something for myself, something I looked forward to getting out of bed for, that excited me, that I could build, make a good living whilst having a great work / life balance! I had been a model a long time ago when I was 17 - 21 so I had always had it in the back of my mind to return. My mistake was... I didn't do it years ago!
Every week I have messages from friends, family, followers on my social media and complete strangers asking my advice and pointing in the right direction for either themselves or someone they know to get into my industry.
The illusive Model World.
There was never, and probably never will be a stand at my school on careers evening for any future budding Kate Moss or David Gandy, no courses at University or leaflets to take away from a career adviser.
The answers I gave to all of the questions and queries to those who asked for my advice I could not do justice. There's simply too much to put on a DM or text!
So here I am hoping to help anyone who wants to break into this exciting/frustrating/ amazing/creative/sometimes disappointing/sometimes thrilling career.
The worst things I hear some weeks is that people are scammed by unscrumpulous people that may call themselves agents or photographers. I'll tell you the right, professional and safe people to go to. Set you on the right track, providing all the do's and don'ts.
If you love being proactive, working with different people, being your own boss, making a good living, travelling and being asked to do crazy things in castings and shoots, promoting and believing in yourself, then it could be for you.
