About Me


Hello there and welcome to my fashion blog....

I am Natasha Gilbert, a London based mother,wife,model/tv presenter/blogger&Vlogger

I have been in the fashion industry since the age of 8. Yes, that’s correct, 8 years old. I wasn’t sent out to sweep the chimneys, instead I landed myself a modelling agent.

The real reason behind my modelling story was my older brother, Josh. He was struck down with cancer when he was 8 years old, and, at the time, the local press wanted to write a story about his brave journey. We were all asked to pose in a photo with Josh, myself and my younger brother, Jake. Me being the only girl, really lapped up the camera and was determined to make every picture my best one. I remember arguing my way in between my brutish brothers and draping both arms around them; the limelight was mine!

Something must have clicked as the next thing I knew mum and I were walking hand in hand through Covent Garden into a big old building to meet with Helen, the director of  'Tiny Tots', a child model agency. I had the best time shooting tv commercials for KFC and Nickelodeon and shooting for Littlewoods catalogue and New Look.

I grew up and went to secondary school where the other girls didn’t like me so much being a model and being gone the cover of magazines like Bliss, J-17 and Mizz. I was bullied and anyone who has been bullied in their life knows the dreaded feeling of waking up each day knowing you have to face these bullies with all their torments in the most uncomfortable situations. Mine happened to be on the school bus, or round the lake at lunch, and in the school corridors. Having sweets and cigarettes thrown at the back of my head and threats to ‘throw me in the lake’ and ‘die, model bitch die.”

I was 12 when I met Sarah Doukas at Storm Models and my modelling career really took off from there.

One of the perks of being a model has allowed me to meet different people from vastly varied walks of life and to interact at fast speed. It has given me an insight into fashion and has definitely added to my passion for beautiful clothes and allowed me to work with the most beautiful clothes and talented stylists, make up artists and photographers.

I love clothes and am addicted to shopping! And what girl doesn't like to dress up?!
