She’s had an impressive modeling career, working with some of the biggest names in fashion like Christian Dior, Jasper Conran, Giorgio Armani, and Jean-Paul Gaultier. Before she rose to fame, she was raised in the Borough of Walsall, England, where she attended Brownhills Community School. Her upbringing was shaped by strong family values—she was brought up Catholic by her father, who originally hails from Ballycastle in Northern Ireland. Throughout her journey, she’s remained grounded despite the glitz and glamour, and her roots continue to play a meaningful role in who she is today. She’s truly carved out a name for herself, and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
She made a memorable appearance in Issue 159 shot by Juergen Teller, and not long after, she was featured again—this time in the i-D Undressed Issue in December 1996. She really stood out during that era, bringing a unique presence to both projects. Her work with Juergen Teller especially highlighted her distinctive style, and it’s clear why she became such a recognizable figure in front of the lens. She continued to leave an impression throughout the late ‘90s, and her appearances in those iconic issues only added to her growing reputation.
