FIFI NEWBERRY: @fifinewberry
How/when did you get scouted to be a model?
I got scouted in a pretty strange way, my best friends, brother took pictures of us for his LCF photography project and he ended up putting my picture on his business card. He started contacting agencies and gave his business card to somebody at Models1 and they asked for my email, I guess the rest is history.

What is your greatest achievement in your modelling career?
Shooting with Ellen Von Unwerth was an absolute dream come true.
Have you faced any challenges in your career?
I have a very strong stance on not wearing fur which can often be difficult when working with high fashion clients. I also love that a lot of big companies like Gucci and Michael Kors are now going "fur free" — it's a huge step for the fashion industry.

What inspired you to start a fashion & lifestyle blog?
I started my blog as a way to keep in touch with my family and friends while I was modelling in New York and I totally fell in love with writing.
What is your must have fashion accessory?
I love a good hat, my current favourites are my baker boy cap and a cute beret.

What does your typical day look like?
I start by waking up and checking my social media, then take my doggy for a walk. Then I might head out to meetings, castings or to shoot content for my blog posts.
What is your favourite spot in London?
I absolutely adore the Southbank, it's such a vibrant and fun part of London no matter what time of year it is.
This holiday I am grateful for…
My family and friends. I love them so much, it's been a tough year so I'm thankful for each and every one of them. Also mince pies, because they're just the best festive snack.
