10 COSMO CHLOE ANDREA Stylist mainly. Creative in many forms. Aspiring rapper and singer. Casual glitter obsessor. See her work in the denim section, from page 91 What do you do when no-one is watching? Films, music, fashion, style I like to keep up with the creative industry. On a bad day, I watch mindless romcoms I keep returning to Bridget Jones. What s your favourite item in your closet? My chartreuse high-waisted skaterstyle silk skirt from Coppelia is pretty damn spectacular. What s the best part of your job? The freedom. Contributors NYKHOR PAUL Model. People s person. World traveller. Aspiring photographer. Lover of words, positive people and a good time. See her gorgeous denim shoot on page 114 What did you enjoy most about the COSMO shoot? I was obsessed with the styling, the makeup, the colours used and everyone who was involved with the shoot. Everything came together amazingly. Who s your role model? My mother. She s an inspiration and she gives me the energy and drive that I need. I love her so much! Words to live by? Always expect the unexpected. Nothing works out as you planned. ANNA MALTBY Clichéd Brooklyn-dwelling, kaleeating, CrossFit-doing writer and editor. Interests: sandwiches, science, NBA hipsters. See her story on page 140 What s the best advice you ve ever been given? We do 97% of things really, really well but spend most of our time focusing on the three percent that needs improvement. Never forget that you re 97% amazing! Who is your celebrity crush? I discovered I have a giant crush on Tom Hiddleston when I saw him play Loki in The Avengers. He s supposed to be evil but I found him extremely sexy, which is disturbing. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? I m an insomniac, so I d love to have the power to make myself fall asleep instantly. It d also be amazing for long flights.
