Modelling in Seoul: Week 9 (Penultimate!)
Week 9 in Seoul started with a five-hour Korean history museum trip and ended with me dressed in Balenciaga SS26 on a tennis court for a conceptual fashion shoot. In between there were vintage shops in Mangwon, fabric markets, peaceful temples, chaotic food halls, and one very bizarre modelling job involving a glass box. My penultimate week did not disappoint.

Modelling in Seoul: Week 7
A week in the life of a model in Seoul and the emotional whiplash that comes with it. From zero work to no time to even shower. From unemployed to uber employed!

A mix of fashion and fatigue.
