Get fresh

Northampton's Nyasha Matonhodze is the modelling world's next big thing.

The Zimbabwean beauty moved to the UK with her mother Teresa and brother Michael when she was eight and, after winning the Elite Model Look competition in 2009, started modelling at 14.

Following in the footsteps of Madonna and Scarlett Johansson, at 16 Nyasha landed a Louis Vuitton A/W 2011 campaign, shot by fashion royalty - photographer Steven Meisel. "I was outside Asda when the agency called. I leapt out of the car, screaming" she says.

Styled by Karl Templer, who dressed her in red leather, and photographed in the back of a Rolls-Royce at an old Brooklyn aerodrome, the shoot is the stuff of which most teenagers can only dream.

She has also worked with photographers Mario Testino, Mert & Marcus and editor Katie Grand, with whom she had her best experience to date: the cover of LOVE magazine. "It was such an honour to be in an issue with Lara Stone and Kristen McMenany."

Between the marathon of shoots, campaigns, videos and shows (she walked 50 shows last season), Nyasha loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa and watching films.

She looks up to supermodels Naomi Campbell - "for her strength and ability to bounce back" - and Gisele Bundchen, "for being an intuitive businesswoman". Nyasha adds: "I want to be here in 40 years' time, doing what I love, achieving as much as possible."
