Who? Helena McKelvie

Age: 17

Hometown: Bothwell

Story so far: A born-and-bred Scottish lass, Helena grew up in the city of Bothwell in Glasgow and now makes regular visits to London. Last year the 17-year-old scored the Rimmel advert, starring alongside Georgia May Jagger and she’s even caught Rankin’s eye, who shot her for his magazine, Hunger. Impressive stuff, eh?

Who is your favourite fashion designer? Alexander Wang. So cool yet so wearable.

What did you want to be when you were younger? An architect.

What can't you live without? A decent cuppa tea.


The best thing that has ever happened to me is...probably the call I got to say I was booked for Rimmel. I really didn’t believe it.

My guilty pleasure is...ice cream.

What people don't know about me is...I'm a twin.

If you want my advice, always....eat! Looking too thin is gross!

Heaven is...staying at home, snuggled up with a cup of tea and my dog.
