Our Creative Director is obsessed with this little cutie. Step forward Daisy Davidson: Creative at Topshop, Studio Assistant at Ashley Williams, occasional model and full-time Harry Styles fangirl. We caught up with Daisy on the bus to a photo shoot – she’s always doing something, that girl…
Hey Daisy, tell us a little bit about yourself…
You’ve been popping up all over the place in terms of modelling – what has been your favourite shoot so far?
My favourite modelling work was for a show rather than a shoot. I walked for Meadham Kirchoff at London Fashion Week; it had such a good, positive feeling about it. Everyone was so excited about taking part, and I felt very cared for. The clothes were beautiful, of course. Oh, and the sandwich selection was top notch!
What’s your fave thing about modelling?
Well, I do enjoy the free grub! I also love having my make-up done, and learning about the different products and potions. I don’t wear make-up usually, so it’s interesting to see what I look like with all of this stuff on my face!
Where can we find you on a weekend?
I’ve been working weekends for the past year, so I’ve forgotten how they operate! At the moment, you’ll find me at my local Oxfam in Putney. It’s such a laugh, and I love the mix of volunteers we get. If not there, you’ll find me in China Town at China Market – the best place for all of your plastic, Japanese-y goodness, and photo-booth requirements. I love eating hummus at Hummus Bros, although none of my friends like it, so it’s often a one-girl-job. And Pizza Hut is a must for delectable cookie dough. I always go to the one in Kingston, which means I get to visit the wonderful Bentalls shopping centre, too.
We love your style – let us into the best places to shop in London…
I would totally recommend Oxfam in Putney. We get such good pieces in there, as everyone in the surrounding area is pretty well off; they can’t be bothered to eBay it, so they give it to us instead! This week, for example, we’ve had two Fendi tops and a brand spanking new D&G coat. As you do. I’m not much of a shopper (too much of a cheapskate…) but I’d always say TK Maxx and Bang Bang Clothing Exchange on Berwick Street in Soho.
Which is your favourite TWP piece and why?
It would have to be the Egg Print Twin Set. I love a Twin Set; it’s the lazy girl’s way of coming up with a very quick outfit. Anything 60s looking is also a winner. I have my eye on the Ivory Suit Twin Set, too.
Who or what do you fangirl over?
Harry frigging Styles – I mean, do I even need to explain?! Oh, and a close second would be Benedict Cumberbatch (mostly when he’s playing Sherlock.) I’m a manga nerd, so these go hand in hand…
Lastly, how would you describe your style?
I’d say 80s Chanel mixed with Japanese, Harajuku street style circa early noughties. I sometimes wear massive heels, but only if I’ve taken a few painkillers – I get grumpy in them otherwise! I love Japanese-inspired stuff and always have. When I was younger I would dress as a Gothic Lolita, and I don’t think that’s ever left me. Hence having short black hair that can be transformed into a huge Emo fringe if the occasion ever arises. Like thrashing around to Panic! At The Disco, for example.
My mind has changed quite rapidly in this first year at University. I thought I had some grasp on what specifically I wanted to do with my life. Now exploring new aspects of film, I am realising what I find inspiring and the more areas of film I learn about, the less I know about what job i'm good at and what I even want to do with these various and important roles in film.
