Fresh faced Lola Evans from Elite shares with Wylde her dreams of travelling, working with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and meeting pop sensation Justin Bieber.

Where are you from originally and where are you based now?

I'm originally from North London and still live there now in Islington.

How did you first get into modelling?

I had been scouted a few times at concerts, so I thought why not just give it a go!

What has been your career highlight to date?

My career highlight so far has been going to Milan and shooting for KIKO Cosmetics.

Is there anyone in particular that you aspire to work with?

I'd love to work with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, she is so gorgeous, I love her work! I'd also quite like to work with Kendall Jenner.

What do you do in your spare time? Any hobbies?

In my spare time I often go to the gym as I have a personal trainer. Also, I love photography, so I spend quite a lot of my time taking photos.

Favourite way to unwind?

My favourite way to unwind is definitely spending time with my family, just completely switching off from social media for a while to appreciate the little things in life.

Who or what inspires and motivates you?

My family play a huge role when it comes to inspiration, they motivate me to do well and making them proud is what motivates me the most.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modelling?

If I wasn't modelling I would probably be doing an apprenticeship or go and get a job.

What music are you listening to at the moment?

I like a wide range of music but I mainly listen to R&B and what's popular in the charts. So Drake, Rihanna, Beyoncé and I love a bit of Justin Bieber.

If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?

If I could be anywhere right now it would probably have to be Spain, a quiet little island in Spain sprawled out on the beach!

What’s at the top of your bucket list?

Hmmm, at the top of my bucket list is probably to visit America one day and hopefully meet Justin Bieber haha!

What's the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

The best piece of advice I've been given is "when you get knocked down don't stay down get back up and prove people wrong". I live by it.
