Asked whether modelling pays, Victoria, who has walked international runways, said it depended on one’s branding.

“There are two main ways that models get work in the industry. First of all, the model has an agent who is assigned to find them work and the second is the freelance where the models are solely in control of finding their own work.

“The two can fetch you money if the model is serious but the one with an agent has the upper hand,” she explained.
