Yes at shoots and shows wearing shoes that are too small or to big.

I say Dsquared shoes the one's with the pad locks on them. I love their style and their run way shows are always fun, I would love to walk on their run way one day.

Sneakers or ballet pumps when you’re not on model duties?

Definitely sneakers; easy to get around London when running around especially fashion week.
