Does fashion and how you dress for the day have an impact on your mood/state of mind? 

Yes I really think it does for me, whenever I put in that little bit of extra effort and consciousness into my dressing I feel like it perks me up a bit and sometimes that's all you need to slightly lift your spirits and add a little extra confidence into your mood to have a better feeling day.

You’re quite open on social media about your mental health. I’d love to know, how did you come to the initial decision to share your struggles publicly?

One day I remember feeling down and thinking ‘everybody’s just putting all their best attributes and highlights online, and it’s all so false and unrealistic’. It would make me feel like shit. I’ve always been pretty open about things because I don’t believe in falsifying or sugarcoating. And I wish someone had done that for me: been really open and told me it’s okay to do this, or feel a certain way. I hope it helps someone else.

Especially when people who follow you probably see that you’re a model and have a beautiful family. Is it about making that image more realistic?

I still feel like my Instagram is totally unrealistic. But for the most part, I want to look at things that are funny and positive. I do think you need to give yourself a break, let go of things and move on and be in the now, because if you keep going back to the past and your worst moments – talking about them and constantly looking at things – it brings you back there.
