Betsy Gaghan
Model in London, She/Her
About
I'm looking for a new challenge to take on outside of modeling specifically in the set design/design world. I am quick to learn and have a unique design taste. I am open to all opportunities and excited for what comes next.
Work Experience
As a teenager, I worked with e-commerce brands such as Theory, Berskha, Urban Outfitters, and Uniqlo. However, 2020 marked the start of my high-end fashion modeling career. I signed with DNA Models and secured an exclusive deal for Miu Miu F/W 2020 collection. Since then, I have continued working with many brands and publications, including Gucci, Coach, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, i-D, and Vogue. Through my modeling shoots, I've gained valuable insight into Set Design, Photography, and art; personal highlights include working with Juergen Teller and Collier Schorr.
I have set deigned for a couple of music videos one of my favorites is for the musician aldn (linked above). Set design is truly my favorite thing to do. I love taking an idea and making it come to life.
I worked as an Assistant for Super Emotional Production House. Working on Pilots, Movies and Music Videos, I helped with set design, admin and office management.
Prior to relocating to London, I spent four months at Cafe Gitane. In addition to working front of house, I serve customers and with other responsibilities around the restaurant.
During the Summer of 2019, I worked as an Assistant to the Design and Social Media teams at Jenni Kayn. My responsibilities included organizing storage rooms, designing social media content, and assisting with design projects. I worked closely with the team and suppliers and ensured all my work was carried out in a timely and high-quality manner.
Working part-time over the span of two years, I helped source fabrics and designs; identify trends; and translate previous learnings into new products.
Education
Studying Photography and Fine art; Key interest in Film Photography; Deferred place with plans to return in 2024.
Volunteering
