Up and coming model, Instagrammer and part-time rapper Simone Thompson (AKA Slick Woods) – described by Vogue as 'a new kind of downtown multi-hyphenate' - is quickly making the shift from social media star to catwalk obsession after appearing at both New York and Paris Fashion Week.

The 19 year old model, who was discovered in her hometown of LA, where she was ‘Getting into trouble and being a regular kid’, has since featured on the cover of Office magazine, appeared in adidas’s collaborative campaign with Urban Outfitters, and opened Rihanna’s PFW autumn/winter Fenty x Puma 2017 catwalk show - walking alongside the likes of Joan Smalls, Leomi Anderson and Adwoa Aboah. Her candid attitude, persistence and unique look has ensured that Thompson is definitely one to watch.
