Georgia Jagger Reveals Catwalk Nerves


GEORGIA MAY JAGGER might be the face of many a fashion and beauty brand right now but when it comes to catwalk modelling, it's a slightly different kettle of fish.

"Even though I've been modelling for a while now, this is my first season of fashion shows and I think people don't expect me to be nervous," said Jagger this month at the Hudson #letyourselfgo spring/summer 2013 campaign launch in Milan (she's been the face of the brand for the past four years). "But for me doing shows is quite scary. There's a lot to take in and you have to appreciate where you are on the catwalk. You have a moment when you see yourself outside of your body."

This season, the 21-year-old walked in, and closed, the Just Cavalli show - as the new face of the brand's fragrance. So how does she go about combatting those nerves?
"Just breathe," she said. "I get really worked up and it's hard to relax as it's stressful beforehand but also very exciting."

And what runs through her mind as she goes down the catwalk?
"Left, right, left, right," she laughed. "I try not to crack up - it's really hard trying to keep a straight face, but I want to do more shows. All of the big ones, like Paris."
And her tip for when it comes to catwalking?

"Score your own shoes - so many slippery floors, newly waxed, and slippery shoes," she said.
Meanwhile, off the catwalk she's happily enjoying photography, but to clarify, just as a hobby: "I'm not going to do any big exciting exhibition any time soon."
