IN CONVERSATION|LAWSON TAYLOR
Name|Lawson Rhys Taylor
Age|21
Hometown|Coventry, England
How did you get discovered?
Working on the door for Urban Outfitters on Oxford Street in London
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Interning for Y'OH! Street wear and being a full time retail slave to pay the bills!
People would be surprised to know that I...
am actually a nice guy and I like piano
What's your latest obsession?
BLVCK SCVLE!
Your most prize possession?
I don't have attachment for material items, rather I am thankful to be alive and to be blessed to have a amazing girlfriend and the dopest grandma in the world!
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
Donatello from The Mutant Teenage Turtles
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
About 15 minutes before arriving to this casting/interview!
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Lawless, obnoxious and lovely
Describe your personal style:
Pretty dark when it comes to clothes. I am already rather colorful (tattoos) so black and white is usually the options!
Your favorite place you have travel to:
Australia or New York City!
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas—Scene: Where Depp is caught having LSD licked off his sleeve by a boring suit, the quote that follows is perfect! Go watch it!
Your favorite sport:
Well, I always thought the idea of fully grown men chasing around a ball around was a bit stone age. I guess I would say skateboarding because it's the best by far. Antwuan Dixon kills it, on and off his board. He is my favorite for sure!
If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Coventry, England—I would take you to the areas I grew up in and to the skateparks. I used to ride bmx (kinda still do) and we have had some of the most amazing locations you will ever see!
Best part of modeling to date:
I would say either going to NYC back in November to do a denim campaign job for a China client or meeting Vivienne Westwood at her home in Milan, she is one of the most amazing and inspirational people I have ever met and I can't wait to work with her properly!
