The Summer is coming and we've had numerous requests to reinstate our 'trendy outfit' of the month feature, last year it proved very popular. So watch this space ! There are so many stunning and interesting up and coming models in the fashion world at the moment so it makes sense to start doing more fun features on these beauties. So let's start the ball rolling by interviewing the striking Isabelle Saxton.
Isabelle grew up in the UK, in a place called Gloucestershire, and went to school there until she was eleven. Isabelle's family then relocated to the French Alps, where they lived for four years, Isabelle and her brother went to a local French school. Schooling there was a huge change for them but they adapted admirably over the short period. Isabelle recently moved again and now lives near Aix-En-Provence, in the South of France She is 5 foot 8 and a bit inches and is clearly still growing taller. We got in touch with this new model on the block and asked some questions.
Q1. Which models inspire you the most and why?
Isabelle: Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and Gisele Bündchen inspire me since they look amazing both on and off set. You can tell that they know what they are doing and with small facial changes, they can completely change a look with nuanced expressions.
Q2. Who are your favourite style icons?
Isabelle: My favourite style icons are Victoria Beckham, Alexa Chung, and Cheryl Cole because their outfits always look coordinated and chic.
Q3. Which designers do you like best and why?
Isabelle: I love Marc Jacobs because he designs really cool, modern clothes and shoes. They are often quite unusual and unique, which I like, because I love being different. On the other hand, I adore Chanel's designs, since they are so iconic. I think that they can be quite simple, but the fabrics used create different textures and depth, which make them very luxe and 'to die for'.
Q4. What are your favourite colours and which tones do you blend for your outfits?
Isabelle: My favourite colours are blue, purple and pink, but I do have a lot of black and white clothes - very monochrome. I try to blend my black and white items, with my more vivid tones.
Q5. How would you describe your style?
Isabelle: My style is constantly changing, but I prefer fitted clothes to baggy ones. I used to only wear neons, but now, my style is a lot more muted. My preferred outfit would be blue or black skinny jeans, a graphic tee, a leather jacket and then a silky scarf, with either converse trainers or boots.
Q6. Which aspects of modelling do you enjoy the most?
Isabelle: I love being pampered, so I enjoy getting my hair and make up done. I get a so much of an adrenaline rush by being in front of the camera, I go in to character, I think it is really fun and rewarding.
I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of the new 'IT' girl in town.
