James Hampson, recently rated model of the week on models.com, is one hot commodity right now in the fashion world. Born in Surrey, England, the 21 year old Brit was discovered this year at a music festival. Only having been in the business for five months, James had a Prada exclusive on the runway in Milan, was in the Lanvin, Kenzo, and Armand Basi shows this summer in Paris, and just finished a photo shoot for the magazine L'Officiel. That's not all James has going on though. He's graduating with a degree in property development and wants to be a quantity surveyor.
The Fashion File team first caught up with James backstage at Lanvin and we love his down to earth personality and zest for life (not to mention his big blue eyes and oh so adorable smile!) This guy is definitely one to look out for.
