Freddie Abrahams and Daisy Pettinger have both built long-term careers in modelling, working across fashion, lifestyle and commercial campaigns in the UK and internationally. In this episode, they reflect on how they each entered the industry through very different routes, what it took to build careers that lasted, and how the realities of modelling changed once it became their full-time work.
They speak openly about rejection, confidence and the difficulty of separating personal feelings from professional outcomes in an industry where appearance is so closely tied to opportunity. They also talk about the pressure of freelance life, the unpredictability of the work, and how important availability, resilience and professionalism can be in sustaining a career over time.
Alongside this, Freddie and Daisy discuss what it is like to work together as a couple, how the industry has changed since they first started, and how becoming parents has shifted the way they think about work. They reflect on balancing family life with the demands of modelling, the benefits and challenges of both working freelance, and how their priorities have evolved as they have got older.
