Brands battle to book Holli for photoshoots
healthy but not I’m not overly strict with myself. If my body is hungry I go and eat something.” Holli – who is following in the footsteps of America’s Ashley Graham, the first plus-size model to grace the cover of magazine Sports Illustrated – is hoping the world’s big designers will start using more curve models on the catwalk.
“A couple of big designers, such as Alexander McQueen, have been using curve models and the images have been fantastic. I’d love to walk for an edgy and grungy brand like his.
“The beauty industry also needs to use more curve models. Rihanna has been doing it and it would be great if other brands followed suit.”
Holli, who juggled studies with her busy modelling career, is looking forward to seeing how her future shapes up in the business. She said: “I managed to get a first despite never being in the country. I studied on trains and wrote half of my dissertation in a hotel room.
“I’m looking forward to throwing myself into full-time modelling and seeing where it leads me.
“I want to go back to uni at some point to do a masters in forensic psychology and eventually work with criminal offenders.
“But, for now, I’m going with the flow and am enjoying being part of a growing and exciting industry. I’m young, yet already have lots of experience. It’s great timing and I’m hoping I will go far.”
Rosalynd Ramage, of Colours, said: “The fashion industry is crying out for more curve models and Holli is at the top of her game. She is one of Scotland’s busiest models and her work ethic is exceptional. There are not enough days in the week with all the clients trying to book her. Holli has star quality and her future is shaping up to be incredible.”
