“I’ve always gone to work with my mom and thought, ‘This looks so fun.She looks so happy while she’s working,'” she told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview in October. “I’d jump in sometimes, and I’d play around with the makeup that her makeup artist would bring.”
“I was stopped in aBrandy Melvillewhen I was 12 and they asked me to model for their clothes,” she said. “I was freaking out because Brandy Melville was my favorite at the time. It was the only place I went shopping. I said ‘Mom, Mom, guess what? Brandy Melville wants me to model. Please, please.’ And she was like, ‘Absolutely not.’ I was really sad about it, but in the end she was right. And I feel like that’s what sparked me to want to model more.”
