We invite you to dip into the world of Elite and meet the real unsung heroes of the modelling world - now, we may not be the face of fashion, but we most certainly know one when we see one! This week we've caught up with Lucy Brown - the forever-smiley blonde and self-confessed chocoholic, to quiz her about her amazing career, models she'll be watching in 2013 and the wild wild ways of Lucy Brown...
My job title is... Head of Image
And that basically means... Looking after the editorial clients
I studied... PR at Leeds Uni
I got to where I am now by... Hard work and perseverance… and lots of networking ;-)
When I was growing I wanted to be... A doctor
My typical working day consists of... Chatting to agents all over the world (NY, Paris, Milan, China, Tokyo) and liaising with them on options. Organizing the girls' days making sure they are seeing the right photographers/stylists/casting directors and strategising with other bookers on how to make the models we have more successful. And eating chocolate at my desk.
The best perk of my job is... Getting to travel and meeting new and interesting people.
The highlight / proudest moment of my career was... Watching the Oscar De La Renta fashion show in a palatial mansion in Beverly Hills – proudest is booking my first campaign which was Swatch many moons ago for one of my best friends. At the time I thought it was amazing and it made her cry with happiness J
I couldn’t do my job without... Being super organized and coffee
I love working with models because... You never know what they are going to do or say next.
The model I’ll be watching in 2013 is... Noam Frost
When I’m not busy working, I like to... Travel far and wide
I am at my happiest wearing... My mum's Chanel bag
The most treasured piece in my wardrobe is... My Cartier watch which I’m not actually allowed to wear until I’m 30.
My autobiography would be called... The wild wild ways of Lucy Brown
Currently I am obsessed with... Baking
If there was a soundtrack to my life, it would be... The Libertines – Music when the lights go out
My hottest hang-outs are... Ping, Bodos & Scotch
My guilty pleasure is... One Direction
I can’t live without... My iphone
As a special treat, I love to... Sit in with my best friend Anna and watch bad TV and chitter chat and have a little sing song
The most valuable lesson that my job has taught me is... To be patient
My biggest challenge for 2013 is... Fashion week AGAIN
In ten years time I see myself... Married to Prince Harry and having a royals-only model agency!
