MORGAN HANDBURY

Agency: B&M Models, Toronto; Supreme, New York

Astrological Sign: Cancer

Q: Favourite campaign you've done
A: Buffalo Jeans. It was awesome, because it's a Canadian campaign but they cast it here. Shooting something for Canada is really special for me. I got to go to Montreal and shoot with these amazing photographers. We went to this mining town up north for a week and it was great. The catalogue is stunning. I don't really like a lot of pictures of myself, but those all came back so beautiful.

Q: Favourite all-time Model:
A: Kate Moss. She made modelling a little less pretty.

Q: Favourite of the newer models:
A: Natalila Vodianova or Daria Werbowy

Q: Always travels with:
A: Lots of shoes and clothes. You have to learn how to pack into one suitcase. That's the trick.

Q: Best beauty secret:
A: Always wear cream on your face against the sun, even in the winter. I use Oil of Olay, everyday.

Q: Staying in shape:
A: Go to the gym, eat right. I don't eat desert. But if you're craving something, have it.

Q: Best thing about modelling:
A: The best part of modelling is the travel. I once shot a bridal thing, where we did a Club Med cruise to a different island every day. And I mean - they're paying me to travel! Are you crazy?

Q: Best place you've visited:
A: South Africa.

Q: Best thing about New York:
A: The shopping! Whenever I have a break between castings, I'm shopping.

Q: Worst thing about New York:
A: It's a hard city. It's really tough on you. It's dirty. There's no space.

Q: How much longer in New York:
A: I'd like to stay for another year. If it's longer, that's fine. Maybe two years, but I want to get out and travel.

Q: Will you continue with modelling after New York?
A: I would love NOT to, in a way, but it's good money.

Q: Your next career:
A: Now that I've been modelling I could never work for anybody else. I could never do the 9-to-5 thing. I'd have to open my own business like a wine bar or something, in a city not as big as New York - like Toronto.
