Is this one of the faces of the future?
Sophie Thomas has been booking jobs this year like there is no tomorrow! She can put her name to shoots for Ponystep, Dazed and Confused, Tatler, Grazia and Lula magazines to name but a few, not to mention for the likes of The Orphan's Arms, Nikki Clarke and Pantene runway- not bad for a girl who just got her AS Level results (and did remarkably well I might add).
Model scouts saw Sophie's potential from the age of 14, but it was Union Modelling Agency that was lucky enough to snap her up. Obviously, it helps to have lean legs longer than Lindsay Lohan's criminal record, but it's her butter-wouldn't-melt looks which will likely keep her seeming 17 for a lot longer than twelve months. Everyone is eternally youthful in the fashion world, and it definitely pays to have good genes in your favour.
What I'm most jealous of? Sophie's thick, waist-length, undamaged chestnut hair, a rarity in these hair straightener-dominating times. Pure and undyed, I often catch myself glimpsing at scissors whenever I'm in her presence, just in case she turns her back for a moment and I can fashion myself a wig from her locks before she realises. I've managed to resist so far...
What does Sophie Thomas have to say for herself? Read her 20 Questions after the jump.
Tatler, September 2011
Tatler, September 2011
1. How long have you been modeling? Since I was 15.
2. Where are you from? Greater London- Putney.
3. Where were you discovered? Shopping in Carnaby Street with my Mum.
4. What was your most memorable shoot? The shoot I did for Tatler's September issue this year. I had to wear loads of wigs and it was 60s themed.
5. What have been your favorite brands you've modeled? Peregrine Clothing- it reminded me of Burberry. I liked The Orphan's Arms too, it was really my style, like, all casual and cool.
6. Who is your top favorite designer? Vivienne Westwood. She's so different and quirky with all she does. Flawless.
7. What runway shows have you walked in? None so far, except for Proctor and Gamble, but I hope to walk in quite a few for the coming London Fashion Week.
8. If you weren’t a model, what would you be? I'd be in school still, figuring out what I want to do!
9. What’s the biggest perk of your job? Meeting really cool people, and getting to travel. Oh, and the pay, of course!
10. What’s your favorite travel destination? Spain. I love the culture and food.
11. What’s your workout routine? Ugh. I go to the gym about 4 or 5 times a week, and fit in Bikrahm Yoga in between. I basically try to keep as active as I can.
12. Where would we find you on a typical Saturday night? Out in London with my friends.
13. Drink of choice? Water
14. Perfume? Kate Moss Vintage
15. First job? Modelling was my first job, but apart from that I worked in Hollister in Kingston-Upon-Thames
16. What’s your most expensive purchase to date? My BlackBerry or my iPod.
17. Favorite movie? I don't have one in particular, but I love all Disney films. I'll say Emperor's New Groove is the best.
18. What is your greatest fear? Failure.
19. If your house was burning, what 3 items would you save? My iPod, my BlackBerry, and a photo of all my family.

You can next catch Sophie in Grazia Magazine in October.
