Who? Shea Thompson-Blake
Age: 16
Hometown: Manchester
Story so far: Shea was a finalist in the Elite Model Look 2012 competition, and is currently modelling part-time as well as studying at college in her hometown of Manchester. During LFW spring/summer ‘13, she walked for Kristian Aadnevik and stepped to it for Sophia Webster's footwear presentation.
What is your favourite city? Probably Manchester just because I grew up here and I am familiar with it, but I'm sure this will change when I go travelling and really explore the world for myself!
What people don’t know about me is…I learnt to play the didgeridoo when I was three.
What did you want to be when you were younger? A flutist in a musical theatre pit.
My guilty pleasure is… trainers. I can never have too many.
In five words, I’m…creative, spontaneous, slightly weird, enthusiastic, and cheeky.
