‘My eloquent response was: “Go fuck yourself!”’ said the model.
Rosie, now 26, confessed that she started modeling as a way of getting out of her home town, and was never particularly fashionable.
‘I wanted to get out of Devon so desperately. London for me was where the big lights were… but I was never particularly fashionable. Devon didn't allow for those opportunities.’
The Victoria’s Secret model recalled an early style faux-pas when she bought a pair of fake Ugg boots on eBay.
‘I remember walking into a restaurant wearing them and literally everybody turned to look at me, and they all laughed,’ she confessed.
Because of her own experience, when Rosie signed with her new agency, she asked how they helped the younger girls.
‘My eloquent response was: “Go fuck yourself!”’
‘Because I felt that there was never anything for me, no workshops, no people letting you know how you should be eating or what you should be wearing to castings.’
She admitted that it is a different landscape now to when she began her career – in the age of Cara Delevingne, models are expected to have a personality.
‘Everybody wants to know the models. You're more real now than ever. You're no longer this one-dimensional image.’
‘Perhaps the paparazzi is part of that. It's more expected now for supermodels to be smart, to have opinions, to have a personality,’ she said.
