Ben Grimes is creative. She likes to create and be re-created. She loves the 'aspect of changing persona' and this independence of thought and action gives her an artistic edge lost to most others. This unique combination perhaps explains the incredible impact that she has made on the industry in such a short amount of time. She has proved that her appearance goes much further than being 'quirky' or 'interesting'. Born and bred in North London, Ben now spends her time between London and New York. She can speak fluent French (thanks to her mother who is from the South of France), and has deferred her place university to focus on modelling as a full-time vocation.
Her determination has paid off, and her rise to success has been phenomenal. Ben has been the face of Prada and Burberry 'Brit' fragrance, shot by Mario Testino and is currently appearing in campaigns for We are Replay and FCUK with Jackson Scott. With her charismatic charm and endless energy, she also has a remarkable list of edi-torials behind her. She has shot 14 pages of main fashion for W Magazine with career-making photographer David Simms and stylist Karl Templer, as well as shooting for Italian Vogue with Bruce Webber, proving she can cut it with the best of them. She also graced the cover of The Face with David Simms. But the impressive list goes on; she has worked with Milan-based photographer Mariano Vivanco for Dazed and Confused, French photographer Christophe Rhiet for Italian Marie Claire, London photographers Mert and Marcus for Arena Magazine, as well as a 12 page editorial for Pop Magazine with William Seldon.
