Who? Eloise Showering

Age: 20

Hometown: Limington, Hampshire

Story so far: Eloise was scouted in the summer of 2012 in Newquay — and promptly walked for Ralph Lauren, Kinder Aggugini and Roksanda Ilincic in the September shows. She’s also done editorial for El Pais, Financial Times, and L’Express.

Favourite London hangouts? Raoul’s Cafe in Notting Hill for Sunday brunch and Victoria Park in the summer for picnics with friends. Also, dancing to Theo Parrish at Plastic People, Shoreditch.

What can’t you live without? My two cats, T.C. and Rosie, they were my fifth birthday present and they have kept my bed warm ever since.

My guilty pleasure is...pancakes. My dad used to make them every Sunday when I was little.

What people don’t know about me is…I can cover my nose with my lip like a monkey. It's handy if you’re doing roly polies underwater.

If you want my advice, never…pluck your eyebrows; thread them instead.

Hell is…Anywhere that is colder than -10 Celsius — I can't cope with the cold as I have terrible circulation.

The soundtrack to my life is…Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads.

There is too much…chewing gum on pavements, I'm always the one who stands in it!
