Here are the photographs included in the ebook and physical versions of my book, How Not to be a Supermodel. If you have downloaded the audiobook and for some reason cannot access the PDF then you can view the photos below.
If you have arrived at this page and have not yet read How Not to be a Supermodel, you can find it online here and in person at all good bookshops. The photos and captions will then make sense! How Not to be a Supermodel is my bestselling noughties memoir that not only takes you on a hilarious journey through my decade-and-a-bit as a fashion model but catapults you back to a bygone era.
OK, so it’s the 00s – turn of the millennium – not some sort of ancient historical era, but still. Long ago enough for it to be a good, satisfying bit of nostalgia for some of you and an enjoyable, “I can’t believe people used to do that!” sort of mind-shock for others. This might not be the sort of book you’d expect from a modelling memoir: it’s not a grim exposé or a year-by-year drudge through strung-together thoughts and reflections. It’s farcical and chaos-filled and, at times, faintly outrageous and I think that, once you pick it up, you won’t be able to put it back down.

Your book really brightened my day and made me feel so nostalgic for that time 20-25 years ago. I still remembered you from This Model Life (one of my fave documentaries), and I stumbled upon your book at my local Waterstones. I ended up spending a lovely afternoon in Brighton, enjoying a couple of (large) glasses of red wine while getting lost in your writing. Funnily enough, I discovered we were born just a day apart too. Thanks again for such a wonderful and fun read!
Thanks so much Olly!
I’m really looking forward to your book! I see the hardback will release in the US in November, but I can’t see any info for the audiobook. Are there plans to release the audiobook here, too? I suspect my enjoyment will double if I hear it in your voice.
Yes, audiobook will be out at the same time I think!
