The final instalment of New Faces in New Places: Seoul Edition is here! From exhausting shoots and emotional goodbyes to hiking Bukhansan and squeezing my life back into suitcases, this week was the perfect chaotic ending to my 10 weeks modelling in Seoul.

A funny recap of shooting my first Korean editorial with Van Cleef & Arpels - only for the magazine cover to feature a twig instead of my face.

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.

Week 8 I continued to be employed? Jumpscare. From being booked and busy to navigating one of the toughest shoots I’ve ever experienced, this week I've documented the full spectrum of model life in Seoul. Between castings, hikes, spontaneous reunions and some awful shoots - it’s a mix of highs, lows and of course I've overshared it all with you!

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! Balanced with a wholesome weekend, I share everything from turning a childhood memory into a perfume using brainwaves (still not over it) to an unplanned temple visit that genuinely shifted my perspective. A mix of fashion and fatigue.

As Week 6 draws to a close I've only got 4 weeks left in Seoul! And as per my disorganisation... I'm only now creating a must-see list - not ideal. This week involved cherry blossoms, a hike that almost wiped me out, and being covered in over £100k worth of diamonds for my first COVER story!

Somehow I'm already halfway through my placement in Seoul and I’m reflecting on model life, comparison, and what it’s really like living with the very people you’re technically competing with. Honest, slightly unfiltered, and somewhere between self-aware and overthinking.

This week in Seoul included chaotic vintage shopping, a Chanel-esque shoot, far too many 7/11 snacks, and a quiet afternoon wandering through Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Chaos at castings, wandering temples and debating becoming a Buddhist, more vintage shopping than ever and a major summer campaign shoot to top it all off! Week 4 in Seoul captured the unpredictable reality of modelling abroad. There were moments of calm and moments of chaos, but I’m now one month in and feel like I've finally found my rhythm.

After an exceptional couture debut, anticipation for Matthieu Blazy’s ready-to-wear vision at Chanel reached new heights. Presented during Paris Fashion Week, the collection explored subtle ballet influences, archive-driven reinvention and a renewed sense of rarity surrounding the house. This piece examines how Blazy is reshaping Chanel’s identity, balancing heritage with experimentation as demand continues to grow.
