MODEL SPOTLIGHT | VOL.3 | ISSUE.2
Elle is taking the fashion world by storm, with her striking looks & amazing personality. We caught up with her to ask a little more about her journey!
Q1. Swanky Mag: Hello Elle, Can you introduce yourself to Swanky Magazine's readers?
Hello! My name is Elle Baldwinson, I am an internationally published model from North Lincolnshire, I’ve been modelling now for four years now and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! The modelling world has changed my life.
Q2. How did you get into modelling, and what do you like about modelling?
When I was 16, I had little confidence and I had watched so many modelling shows, it seemed like an unreachable dream, I wasn’t even sure how to begin a model career, however, I spoke to my mother about it and she supported me, we approached photographers local to me and asked if they’d be interested in helping me build a portfolio, the rest is now history! Modelling has given me so much confidence, it’s completely changed my life around, I had no idea there was such a large and wonderful community of creative people out there and I adore meeting such talented people every day.

Q3. What is your main source of inspiration?
My main source of inspiration comes from incredible photographers and models who are self-made, that have completely built themselves up with their own hard work. I am in awe of the freelance models out there, that have carved their own way through this industry and have been doing it for many years now.
Q4. How hard has it been establishing yourself in the industry, and what are some of the largest things you've faced?
I’ve enjoyed establishing myself in the industry, I’m so grateful for the incredible support I’ve had from my mother and so many wonderful people I’ve met along the way, it’s their support and advice that has gotten me to this point. At times it’s been a little difficult, it felt like I was not getting anywhere for a long time but I’m glad I persisted and continued doing what I love, it paid off. It seemed like an unreachable dream to make modelling my full-time job but I took that leap and I’m so pleased I did. Everything feels aligned when I’m modelling like it’s what I’m meant to be doing.

Q5. What kind of impact do you hope to make in the fashion world?
I hope I can bring something different to the fashion world,I try to be very versatile in the different fashions I will model and I like to be creative and show this through my platforms, I hope to be different by pushing this versatility.
