From medical student to Alexander McQueen model, Helena Jay tells Vogue about her whirlwind two weeks.
, the word that comes up most in our conversation is “exciting”. “I’m very new to the world of fashion, so I think it was the best first experience I could have had,” she says of walking the makeshift runway on a rooftop within East London’s Tobacco Dock. “The venue was like nothing I’ve ever seen… a big bubble in the sky.” With dramatic views of the capital backdropping her debut, the show went by in a flash, her initial nerves giving way to, you guessed it, excitement.
Now in her third year, Helena’s new modelling sideline has given her a sense of equilibrium. Becoming a doctor is still on the agenda, but she’s keeping all doors open with regards to her future. This seems remarkably cool headed for a young woman who describes the past couple of weeks as a “fairytale”, but with Next watching her back and the grounding influence of Burton’s “down-to-earth” team, this lavender-haired star will go far.
