Amber Anderson, Model

Imagine coming out of a Knightsbridge tube station to be confronted with a thirty foot high image of yourself! That's what happened to extra and model Amber Anderson after an early modelling task. She says: "I well-nigh died considering I didn't fifty-fifty know they were putting it upwards. I was so embarrassed". We can totally sympathise that, only we imagine that she'southward got used to seeing herself on billboards by at present.

As a child, she was a gifted pianist at Aberdeen Urban center Music School, and a member of the National Children's Orchestra of Scotland. Friends suggested to her that she tried modelling, just she didn't accept enough conviction, and felt she didn't accept the right expect. "I didn't think I could practise information technology" she admits, which seems incredible now.

Born in Somerset in 1992, just brought up in Scotland, Amber was picked out past a top agency in a Glasgow shopping eye modelling competition, when she was only fourteen. By 2011, Mario Testino had shot her for Burberry, which is how she concluded upwards on the Knightsbridge affiche. She walked for Hermes in Tokyo, and filmed a Kenzo ad in Paris. She commented at the fourth dimension that she was lucky: "Non many 19-twelvemonth-olds can say they are just off to Tokyo for iv days".

Then, at Burberry'south Serpentine Summertime Party, Erin O'Connor took compassion on the nervous nineteen-year-old, and introduced her to everyone, an act of kindness for which Anderson is still grateful. Nonetheless, Amber herself has a down-to-earth mode and a good sense of sense of humour, always useful attributes in the world of fashion.

Her luck continued when Benjamin Kanarek photographed her for a Harper's Bazaar editorial, and she has as well featured in Italian Faddy, a Jack Wills campaign, and Vanity Fair. She opened for Christopher Kane AW11, and acted in the Match.com television commercial.

Amber has been keen on acting since an appearance in a school play at the age of vii. She plays the violin every bit well equally piano, and sings jazz, and so she'south a bit of an all rounder. She's ventured into films, actualization in Natalie Portman's Your Highness, The Lotus Eaters with Harry Potter star Ben Northover, and We Are The Freaks.

Although she thinks of herself as an actress who models, and she may take that direction in future, modelling is likely to stay her chief occupation for now. However, it has to exist said that having several talents seems to be the manner to go right at present, and so we're bankroll Amber Anderson to go far.
