Runway Regular

She walked for Kanye West's Fashion Week show.

It's not everyday you can say one of the greatest rappers of all time picked you out of thousands to model in his show!! I'm so grateful to Kanye and the whole team for this amazing opportunity. He's truly a genius and one of the dopest people I've ever met. And you guys should know how excited I was when I found out I was doing this seeing as I LOVE his style, sneakers and music. Feeling blessed.

Brand Ambassador

In March this year, she was appointed the brand of L’Oreal Paris UK.

I can't even believe I'm writing this right now, but I am INSANELY proud to announce I am the new face of L'Oréal Paris UK. Saying 'this is a dream come true' would be an understatement. I feel honoured to be working alongside such an influential company, especially being the first British Indian model! Growing up I felt left out & unrepresented knowing that nobody in mainstream media looked like me, and now I hope to change that ❤ THANK YOU to the whole @lorealmakeup team for believing in me #LorealPFW #Lorealista #LorealFAMILY
