Charlotte Dutton, From Mountains To Modelling
Charlotte Dutton has two jobs. Half the year she’s a top model in Europe, and the other half she’s a professional snowboarder in Canada.
‘I love modelling and snowboarding,’ she says, ‘but I have to be two different people! You need muscles to be a snowboarder, but you have to be slim to be a model. When I’m modelling I can’t eat anything fattening. But in the mountains it’s freezing, so you have to eat protein, cakes and chocolate. For the jumps and turns, you have to be strong. Snowboarding is sometimes dangerous, and I often fall. But I have to be careful because I can’t break my leg and then go to Paris to model the best skirts. It’s funny – half the year I have to wear beautiful designer clothes.’
Does she want to be a top international model or an Olympic snowboarder? The answer is she wants to be both … but when she’s much older, she dreams of living in a bakery and eating cakes all day!
