Who? Imogen Newton

Age: 17

Hometown: London

Story so far: Imogen was spotted while watching the Sister Act musical in London back in 2009, and one of her first jobs was a Topshop campaign shot by Josh Olins. Although still studying for her A-levels, she’s still managed to fit in working for Stella McCartney, Vogue Paris, British Vogue, Wonderland, 10, and Victoria Beckham.

Favourite city? London, because it's my home! Everything about it really, the river, the tube, the pubs, and the fact that all my best friends are here.

Favourite designers? Victoria Beckham and Stella McCartney

What did you want to be when you were younger? A vet, then I did work experience and was totally put off.

Can't live without... My best friend Emma who I've known since I was three years old. We went to playgroup, primary, and secondary school together and now we're both doing a gap year in London. She lives at the other end of my road and is like a sister.

The first thing I do in the morning is...make a coffee and stalk my friends on Facebook.

The best thing that's ever happened to me is...being on screen behind Beyoncé at Glastonbury.

My guilty pleasure is...that I'm secretly obsessed with ABBA.

In five years...With some luck I'll be in my last year at uni, studying English literature.

In 20 years...I want to have at least 10 marathons under my belt; I'm running my first this April and I'm so, so nervous.

Heaven is...12 hours sleep.

Hell is...being made to watch scary films. I couldn't even watch the first ten minutes of The Woman in Black and it's like a 12A rating.

The soundtrack of my life is...ABBA, of course.
