April 22, 20169 yr The Evening Standard ES Magazine April 2016 ph: Ben Rayner styled: Nicky Yates Angel of the North: meet model of the moment, Sam Rollinson Model of the moment, tomboy — and a right good laugh. Tilly Macalister-Smith talks boys, Brexit and Bieber with Sam Rollinson ‘Aiya.’ Sam Rollinson’s South Yorkshire voice is as deep as her dark blue eyes and as smooth as her clear skin — so faultless it actually looks airbrushed in real life — framed by that famous choppy black bob. She extends a hand, elbow cocked laddishly: ‘D’you want a cuppa?’ We’ve swapped the grey pavements of London for the wide boulevards of Paris for the ES Magazine couture-themed cover shoot. On set, the 21-year-old is a spirited, jesting tomboy — ‘Just don’t call me Samantha,’ she jokes at one point — chatting about baking shortbread and watching Corrie while crossing the road in a priceless Giorgio Armani Privé gown. And that’s precisely her magic: she makes wearing the world’s most rarefied, astonishing couture clothes seem like an everyday thing to do. This low-fi attitude belies a glittering career. Scouted at 13, within three years she was being photographed by Mario Testino for Burberry. The past year has seen her career go stratospheric — having starred in campaigns for Zara, Chanel Watches, Tod’s and DKNY. She’s still adjusting to the fame. ‘Obviously it’s nice, but you don’t want to be recognised with your shopping trolley in Sainsbury’s. All that just blows my mind. I can understand Cara and Kendall [Jenner], because they are mega-famous.’ She describes Jenner, who she met on the show circuit, as ‘really sweet’, but admits to being baffled by Kanye West’s fashion foray: ‘I don’t know why Kanye West is coming to fashion shows. Beats me. Or why he is doing his own line. It’s absolutely dreadful. I could do it better. Genuinely.’ It’s rare these days to find a model who speaks so candidly; totally refreshing, in fact. Born in Doncaster, she moved to London at 18 and describes it as ‘home’. She lives in a flat in King’s Cross overlooking the canal with two model friends, Charlotte Wiggins, 22, and Eve Delf, 21. What do these girlfriends banter about? Shoes? Boys? Try politics. In another life Sam would have studied politics or philosophy. ‘I’ll vote to stay in the EU,’ she pronounces proudly. So she leans to the left? ‘Definitely. Liberal.’ Behind Corbyn all the way? ‘Oh yeah. I’m not very right wing. I’m definitely centre left.’ Such fighting talk rings true with her down-to-earth upbringing. Growing up with an older brother, Ben, 25, she says, equipped her with a sense of humour and a thick skin — essential for the modelling world. ‘Rejection is the hardest thing. People say, “Don’t take it personally,” but you do if you really want a job. Sometimes I get a bit upset, but it’s just part of the job.’ Despite any lingering insecurities, she has numerous magazine covers under her belt and 142,000 Instagram followers, plus her career has its super-glamorous upside: ‘I love the Paris catwalk shows,’ she says. ‘They’re proper legit, you know what I mean? Louis Vuitton, Chanel. It’s all the big dogs.’ She has not one but two wardrobes, bursting with buys from The Kooples, Sandro and Topshop, as well as the odd designer item (she cites Saint Laurent as her favourite designer and is particularly proud of a rare Versace handbag picked up in the vintage concession at Liberty). Her other indulgence is less likely: ‘This is going to sound really poncey but UberExec is my biggest guilty pleasure,’ she grins. She’s been dating The Xtra Factor presenter and stand-up comedian Matt Richardson, 24, since last March. She’s clearly besotted, giggling at the mention of his name. She clocked him in 2014 at Leeds Festival. ‘I said to Charlotte, who knew him, “He’s fit, isn’t he?” and then we got each other’s numbers and now we’re going out!’ Despite her hectic schedule, they manage to see each other ‘all the time’: ‘Recently he had a gig in Liverpool so I went with him and he ripped me to shreds on stage. Maybe that’s his way of getting me back for being plastered all over buildings.’ Aside from the occasional spin class, she rarely works out. I press her for the secret to her luminous skin. ‘Nothing special really,’ she shrugs. ‘Neutrogena face wash and Clinique moisturiser twice a day.’ Does it take her long to get ready for a night out? ‘You mean out on the lash?’ she clarifies, in which case it’s half an hour of procrastination and primping followed by dinner in Soho and a night out at The Box. ‘I don’t really get hangovers. Lucozade Orange is my thing and a nap late in the day — fresh as a daisy.’ The last time she really let her hair down was at the Brits in February. ‘It was the best night ever, it was just unreal. Everywhere you looked there was someone famous. I went with my boyfriend and Charlotte, and we had a great table with Abbey Clancy, who is really lovely. And the Superman guy… Can’t remember his name.’ She means Henry Cavill. ‘He was all right. I enjoyed Justin Bieber’s performance far more than I care to admit.’ Where does she see herself ten years from now? ‘Oof!’ she says, recoiling at the thought. ‘I’ll be 31. I probably will have bought my own house. I’d quite like to open my own business, but I don’t know what yet. I’m just figuring out life. Basically, I’ll do modelling till they stop having me.’ http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/angel-of-the-north-meet-model-of-the-moment-sam-rollinson-a3219641.html#gallery
