Model Minute: Charlotte Free Loves Lemons

Charlotte Free at IMG

Before New York Fashion Week kicked off, we told which faces to look for and why they’re the rising stars of the modeling world. Now, we’ll check in with them throughout the week to see how it’s going, and how they’re holding up.

We caught up with Charlotte Free fresh off her first catwalk yesterday—Richard Chai. What’d we learn? There’s a reason she gets noticed (and it’s not just the hot pink locks). Read more to find out what the 5’7 on-the-rise star had to say about lemons, purple lipstick, and dancing in the street.

ELLE: What did you have for breakfast this morning?

CF: I usually drink Ensures because I’m trying to gain weight. But this morning I just had, like, a hundred pineapples and a bunch of Kefirs.

ELLE: What do you think about when you’re walking down the runway?

CF: I don’t think anything. It’s weird—you’re thinking the whole time before and as soon as you start walking it’s just like, nothing is there. It’s kind of like sports.

ELLE: How do you keep your energy up?

CF: I just kind of naturally have a little too much energy.

ELLE: What snack do you like to have between shows?

CF: I like lemons. I’m really obsessed with lemons. That’s my favorite food.

ELLE: What is your favorite thing about being in New York?

CF: I can dance in the middle of the street and no one thinks I’m crazy. Well, nobody cares that I’m crazy.

ELLE: What music have you been listening to?

CF: I listen to dubstep. I’ve been listening to electronic music since I was like “this tall” because of my parents.

ELLE: I like your pink hair. What was your inspiration?

CF: I was unhappy with with my life. I had a horrible relationship, and a horrible boyfriend. I got out of it and I was still depressed. I dyed my hair pink and I didn’t care about anything anymore.

ELLE: Any new makeup you’ve been into?

CF: I always wear purple makeup. I just got some lipstick called Purple Haze. It’s Hemp Organics by Whole Foods.

WELCOME CHARLOTTE FREE

A few months back we got a call from our friend and RVCA advocate, photographer David Mushegain. He told us he just found an amazing new face in a video game arcade in LA. “YOU GUYS I FOUND THIS GIRL. SHES SO COOL. Pink hair, rad style, 5th generation Angeleno and a huge huge Lakers fan……Her name is CHARLOTTE FREE…you gotta meet her, we have to shoot her!!!”.

Mushegain shot her for Japan Vogue the next day and simultaneoulsy began documenting her for RVCA. A few days later Charlotte was on a plane to NY where she signed with IMG models. Since then she has been causing chaos from LA to NY to Paris. In a couple months she went from playing video games at her local arcade (we didnt know there were still arcades around, but guess there are) to opening the Vivienne Westwood show during fashion week in London. Charlotte Rvles. You will be seeing a lot of her around RVCA. Check the gallery of shots Dave shot of her in Paris and links for some of her recent work and help us welcome the newest RVCA advocate Charlotte!
