- Hi guys, I'm Kitty Spencer,
I'm a model, philanthropist and a brand ambassador
and today I'm going to be taking you on a typical day
in my life.
I suppose my interest in fashion has really grown
in the last few years since I've been in England.
I grew up in Cape Town.
It's a very relaxed beach town
and there's not a lot of emphasis I suppose, on fashion.
I wouldn't say
that my mother's influenced my style necessarily.
She's certainly given me a lot of knowledge
about the fashion industry.
My step into modeling started a few years ago.
A brand reached out to someone at Storm
because they thought that Storm represented me.
I wasn't modeling at the time, but Storm did get in touch
and I've been with them since.
So it was a happy accident really.
The first runway show I did
was the Dolce & Gabbana millennials show.
I was far too shy to walk in the show
and then my family said
you should definitely walk,
it's Dolce & Gabbana
so I knew that they were going to make me feel good
and that it was going to be
just a wonderful positive experience
and I was right.
It was just this crazy burst of energy and excitement
and there's just absolutely nothing like that feeling.
Working in fashion's definitely
had a very positive influence on my life.
I think it's taught me a lot about myself.
You learn, definitely how to go with your gut instincts
and also you learn a lot about yourself,
just physically what suits you
or what you like to wear, what makes you feel good.
The build up to the show is definitely far more terrifying
than the actual moment.
I think, the night before you don't sleep
because you're so convinced you're going to fall over.
But so far so good.
My style's definitely dependent on my mood
but usually I like a bit of color.
I like things to be feminine
and tailored and classic.
I've always loved Dolce & Gabbana.
I love the way that they celebrate the female form
whatever that form is.
I love the fact that their dresses accentuate the waist
and they make you feel like a woman
in the best possible way.
We are at Dolce & Gabbana.
I have two work trips next week,
one to Rome and one for Milan fashion week
so we're here for a fitting
to find some fun looks.
This was the dress that I wore for a photoshoot in Mexico
at the end of last year.
It's just the most beautiful dress.
Oh and this is the jumpsuit that I wore.
It was a shoot in Milan.
I just love these pieces
because they sort of show what Dolce & Gabbana do best.
It's the simple classic styles
but with all the amazing detail.
This is the brand new collection
so I think for Rome and for fashion week in Milan,
these will be the pieces we try on.
I love the skirt, the floral skirt
with the white jumper that we found.
That's going to be perfect for the shoot that I'm doing
when I get to Rome.
It's so pretty and feminine
and an outfit I would have dreamed of wearing
as a little girl.
(inspiring music)
Well the white and the gold,
it feels kind of like ancient Rome
with all the lace detail.
We found a great pair of shoes today
where the heels, the actual heel
is the D and the G.
It's beautiful, it feels so feminine
and I just, I love this shape.
I'll definitely be taking it to Rome.
I love the sleeves.
They're works of art, these pieces
and so I'm very lucky to wear them
for as long as they'll let me
and you know, it really is a dream.
So here we are at Centrepoint on Dean Street in Soho.
This is the birthplace of Centrepoint.
I first became involved with Centrepoint
about four years ago.
We have a family history of being involved.
My aunt was patron, my cousin's patron,
now I've been an ambassador for the past few years.
They fight to tackle youth homelessness,
helping people from the ages of 16 to 25.
It's not just about putting a roof over somebody's head.
It goes so much further than that and it really helps
these vulnerable people get back up on their feet.
This year's their 50th anniversary
so they've got a lot of exciting projects on.
I'm just so glad that as an ambassador
that I can be involved,
I can speak on their behalf, I can come to their events
and do the Sleep Out,
which is always one of their biggest fundraisers
and that's sleeping out, usually on the banks of the Thames.
So today when we go to Centerpoint
we'll get to spend some time with Órla Constant,
who's the relationship director at Centrepoint
and she's been just a phenomenal force for Centrepoint
in terms of fundraising and getting people involved
and getting their message out there.
The work that Centrepoint does is absolutely essential
and I've been so proud to have been involved
for the past four years and long may it last.
I believe that everybody should feel the responsibility
to get involved with the causes that matter to them.
I'm incredible fortunate to have a platform
that anyone listens to.
Whether the platform's big or small
I think that I have even more of a responsibility
to use that platform.
It's reality and it's good to be involved with something
and to see things come full circle
and to witness such a positive shift in people's lives.
