GET TO KNOW MINA:
What is your favourite film or book?
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Film? How To Train Your Dragon (yes, really.)
What was your favourite trip you’ve taken?
To Cabo Palonio, a tiny hamlet on a peninsula on the east coast of Uruguay. Nestled among sand dunes, it is only accessible by walking or 4x4 truck, and its only neighbours are a colony of sea lions. With no electricity or running water, it is run by wind power and generators, and its population is less than 100. Sometimes I dream of packing a bag and escaping back there, although I would probably lose my marbles within the month if I lived there permanently.
When you’re not modelling, what else are you up to?
I am a journalist! So you will often find me chasing people down the street with a notepad in one hand, a pen in the other and a mad look in my eye. I also read (well - full sentences!), draw (very mediocrely) and play the keyboard (terribly, but I try).
Is there anything you wish would come back in (or leave and never return) in fashion?
Groovy Chick. Honestly. I have an alarming amount of pink and purple clothing and home decor stashed away just waiting for its 90s revival moment. Why are we bringing back spaghetti straps and bucket hats when we could all be rocking GC merch?! Don’t even get me started on low-rise jeans.
