She was just 12 years old when model agents spotted Olivia Sim and knew she was destined to become one of the UK's top models.
Ten years on and the St Andrews University graduate has global brands queuing up to use her in campaigns and is signed to agencies in London, Glasgow and LA.
Olivia, from Edinburgh, has modelled for Jimmy Choo, Gucci and LK Bennett, walked at London Fashion Week twice for Mark Fast and even starred in a Duran Duran music video.
Not bad considering she only started full-time modelling a year ago after completing her Masters degree in International Relations and moving to London.
As our search continues for Scotland's next top model, Olivia, who is hoping to make it big in the States, tells us about her modelling journey and encourages others to give the business a go.

"I was attending the Scottish Fashion Awards with my family when an agent approached me.
"I was taken on to their books straight away but my mum was adamant I didn't start modelling until I was older.
"At 16, Select placed me with Colours Agency in Glasgow and I did my first job for an opticians in Dundee.
"I did various shoots and campaigns when I was still at school and throughout my time at university, including starring in a Duran
Duran music video, but I wanted to finish my education before I became a full-time model."
Olivia, whose face appears on the Lothian Buses in an advert for Musselburgh Races, added: "I graduated in June last year and moved to London.
"Since then, I have modelled for Jimmy Choo, Gucci , LK Bennett, Hayley Menzies and Miscreants.

experiencing a career renaissance thanks to Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale, which is allowing both fans (and the actor himself) to go back and consider those films he made back when he was a star the first time around. There’s been a lot of talk about Fraser’s time with The Mummy franchise, but the actor took a recent opportunity in the San Francisco bay area to apologize for something that went wrong while filming George of the Jungle, and in doing so made a brand new error.

It brought traffic to a standstill on either side of the bridge.”
