A Warrington based model who was scouted while shopping is still in a state of shock after making the cover of a national magazine in Italy.
Kate Hulme, aged 20, a former student at Bridgewater High School, Appleton, has been making a name for herself in the world of fashion recently working in Milan – but has set her heart on a career as a children’s illustrator.
Kate said: “I got scouted when I was 15 while shopping in top shop which is where it all started! It’s such an exciting job getting to meet the other girls from all over the world and big fashion photographers/designers.
“I always feel like I’ve learned something new or have a story for when I go home. It’s very true you have to grow a thick skin to work in the industry, but I’ve never seen that as a bad thing at all! Any comments made regarding my looks/size I take with a pinch of salt be it good or bad!
“I’ve been really lucky to have worked with so many great teams and had the cover of Fem fashion magazine, I’m still a bit in shock!
“I want to be a children’s illustrator in the future but would love to travel as much as possible so we’ll see.”
