Vivienne Monique: From London to the International Runway

Vivienne Monique: From London to the International Runway

Vivienne Monique has spent much of her young life exploring fashion beyond a single runway or city. Born on August 21, 2012, in London, United Kingdom, and now studying in the United States, she has participated in fashion events across several major international cities.

Alongside modeling, she balances school and family life with a growing interest in entertainment. Her experiences span runway shows, editorial work, pageantry, fashion film, and youth advocacy.

Behind those milestones is a teenager who enjoys drawing, gaming, and discovering new creative interests. Fashion and entertainment have given her opportunities to learn more about her abilities, interests, and ambitions at an early stage in her life.

For Vivienne Monique, individuality remains central to that journey.

“My personal motto in life is, ‘Don’t fit into a mold—be yourself,’” she says.

From London to Her First International Modeling Experience

Vivienne traces the beginning of her journey to 2018, when she received her first international modeling opportunity. Representing a brand from Thailand, she appeared in a traditional Thai princess costume.

The experience introduced her to fashion and culture while giving her an early opportunity to represent a brand before an international audience.

“I realized I wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment and fashion industry in 2018,” she recalls.

“That experience introduced me to the world of fashion, culture, and the confidence that comes from representing a brand on an international stage.”

Later that year, House of iKons selected her as one of the Mini Ikons for its Ikonic Kids Fashion Show during London Fashion Week. Walking the runway at a young age strengthened her interest in modeling.

Those early opportunities led to more runway appearances, editorial projects, and collaborations with creatives from different countries.

Vivienne Monique eventually expanded her modeling experience beyond London. According to information provided for this feature, she has modeled during London Fashion Week with House of iKons and New York Fashion Week with HiTechMODA.

Her experience also includes Milan Fashion Week with Home Productions and Paris Fashion Week with Michael Cinco.

Participation in different fashion cities has offered more than professional exposure. Travel has introduced her to people and cultures beyond her everyday surroundings.

“One of my favorite parts is meeting so many creative people and making friends from different countries,” she says.

“I also love traveling and learning about different cultures through fashion.”

Editorial publishing has also become part of her experience. She appeared as a cover feature for World Fashion Media News for Spring/Summer 2026.

Information submitted for this feature also lists modeling appearances in designer features published by UK fashion magazines. Vivienne views these opportunities as part of an ongoing process of learning and development rather than a final measure of her career.

Recognition Beyond the Catwalk

Pageantry became part of Vivienne Monique’s early experience when she held the title of PURE International Junior Miss England 2022. Information submitted for this feature also includes several awards and recognitions connected with modeling, youth leadership, and advocacy.

One distinction listed in her profile is the Outstanding Runway Model Global Advocate Award from New York Glam Steadfast Creative Arts Production.

The submitted information also identifies her as one of the World’s Most Influential Young Leaders. Organizations named in connection with the recognition include the World Leaders Association, The American International Education Federation, and Thailand International Awards.

Vivienne is also listed as a Shine Star Ambassador through Ladies of All Nations International (LOANI) and Vietnam International Awards.

Listed advocacy roles include LOANI Youth Ambassador and International Youth Ambassador for the Lumad Kids Scholarship of Dabawenyo UK.

Other roles named in the submitted profile include Princess of the Universe Charity Ambassador, Cancel Cancer Africa Charity Ambassador, and Korn Taylor Diamond Ambassador. These activities have placed her in settings where fashion, youth representation, and charitable causes intersect.

“Every runway show and new opportunity has taught me to believe in myself and try things I never thought I could do,” she says.

A Memorable Night in British Film and Fashion

Participation in the British Film Festival and British Fashion Festival in 2022 became a particularly memorable chapter, bringing her to Cineworld Leicester Square in London for her first black-carpet arrival.

During the occasion, she received a Young Model award in the Girl Category. The recognition offered her a closer look at an entertainment industry that extends beyond runway presentations.

“I was so grateful to the festival board and Ms. Roseita Royce, President of the British Film Festival, for recognizing my work and supporting young talents like me,” she says.

Her involvement in the short film Movement, associated with JAL Fashion UK 88, was also highlighted in connection with the festival. According to her interview, the film received 11 other awards during the event.

Taking part in Movement presented one of her biggest challenges.

“The most challenging project I’ve worked on was the short film Movement,” she says.

“One of the hardest parts was filming a scene where we had to run while being chased by an alien.”

A large headpiece worn during the scene made running and performing naturally more difficult.

Filming gave her a clearer understanding of the physical preparation and behind-the-scenes work required to produce even a brief sequence on screen.

What Vivienne Monique Learned Behind the Camera

Experience in fashion and entertainment has broadened her understanding of how creative projects come together.

“One thing I learned about the entertainment industry that I didn’t expect is that it’s not only about being in front of the camera or performing on stage,” she explains.

“There is so much teamwork, preparation, and dedication behind every project.”

That lesson shapes how she approaches her work. Before a performance, shoot, or creative project, Vivienne tries to understand what the team expects from her. Researching the project also helps her consider how best to approach her role.

Practice forms another part of that preparation. Rehearsing and developing her skills before a performance or shoot help her feel ready, although she does not regard preparation as a demand for perfection.

“I believe preparation is not just about being perfect—it’s about being ready, staying focused, and giving my best while having fun and learning along the way.”

Rejection is approached with a similar perspective. Not every performer will suit every role, and each production has its own creative direction and requirements.

Rather than treating rejection as a personal failure, Vivienne tries to understand what she can learn from the experience and where she can improve.

“I believe that the right opportunity will come at the right time,” she says.

Exploring Acting and Hosting

Modeling has provided much of Vivienne Monique’s professional experience so far, but her interests extend to other areas of entertainment. Acting and hosting are among the fields she hopes to explore in the future.

Collaborating with designers and brands whose creative direction aligns with her interests is another goal. Wider recognition is also among her ambitions, although she does not regard fame as the only measure of success.

“I would love to become a well-known personality someday, but for me it’s not just about being famous,” she explains.

“I want to be known for working hard, staying kind, and inspiring other young people to follow their dreams.”

An interest in acting comes partly from performers whose careers combine versatility with individuality. Anne Hathaway is one of her biggest inspirations, admired for her acting range, confidence, humor, and ability to remain herself.

Ryan Reynolds is another performer she admires, particularly for his humor and ability to connect with audiences.

Younger performers Millie Bobby Brown and Jenna Ortega have also influenced her interests. Brown’s early career shows her what young performers can achieve through hard work, while Ortega appeals to her for her creativity, distinctive style, and individuality.

Looking ahead, Vivienne would welcome the opportunity to work with some of the performers who inspire her and learn from their experiences.

Stories That Shape Her Imagination

Creative inspiration also comes from stories outside fashion. Vivienne is particularly drawn to characters who face challenges, develop emotionally, and learn more about themselves and the people around them.

Drawing and other creative hobbies

Violet Evergarden is one of her favorite stories, particularly for its themes of kindness, emotion, and understanding.

She is also drawn to Enola Holmes, particularly the character’s independence, curiosity, and confidence.

Avatar: The Last Airbender resonates with her as well, especially Aang’s journey and its themes of friendship, courage, responsibility, and balance.

Away from entertainment, drawing and gaming provide other creative outlets. Drawing allows her to explore ideas and develop her attention to detail.

Those creative skills can also be useful when developing a character or preparing for a project. Gaming, meanwhile, appeals to her interest in storytelling, imagination, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Both hobbies provide time away from professional commitments while offering different ways to engage with creativity.

Balancing School, Family, and Creative Pursuits

Despite her international fashion experiences, Vivienne Monique remains a student. She attends Katherine Johnson Middle School in Virginia, United States, with education continuing to hold an important place alongside her creative pursuits.

“I make sure to focus on my schoolwork and responsibilities while also making time for the things I enjoy,” she says.

Planning helps her manage school, family, friends, hobbies, and entertainment commitments. Family support has also played an important role throughout her journey.

“They have always been my biggest supporters, encouraging me to follow my dreams while reminding me to stay grounded and enjoy the experience,” she says.

That support has helped her navigate challenges. Stepping outside her comfort zone and building confidence in a competitive field have tested her at times.

Being surrounded by talented people can sometimes feel intimidating, she admits. Instead of measuring herself against everyone around her, Vivienne tries to pay closer attention to her own progress.

Advice from family members and mentors provides further guidance, while each opportunity becomes another chance to learn.

Individuality in an Industry Shaped by Trends

Vivienne is growing up at a time when social media and digital platforms are changing how fashion and entertainment reach audiences.

Digital platforms can give artists and creators opportunities to share their work and stories with audiences around the world. Vivienne sees value in that visibility without feeling compelled to follow every trend.

“I respect what other creators are doing and appreciate the creativity behind different styles and ideas,” she says.

“I believe everyone should continue doing what they love while staying true to themselves.”

That perspective reflects a broader principle in the way she sees herself. Other people or passing trends, she believes, should not determine who she becomes.

“Everyone is different, and I believe the things that make us unique are what make us special.”

How Vivienne Monique Defines Success

International experiences have given Vivienne Monique an early introduction to several areas of fashion and entertainment, while she remains realistic about where she stands.

“I’m not worldwide famous yet, but that is something I would love to work towards in the future,” she says.

Vivienne wants to improve her skills, take on new challenges, and discover where her interests in modeling, acting, and entertainment may lead.

Success, in her view, extends beyond professional recognition. She wants to be happy, continue doing work she enjoys, and eventually use her opportunities to make a positive difference.

One of her most ambitious dreams is to accomplish something meaningful enough to one day receive a Nobel Prize. The aspiration reaches far beyond fashion, although the direction it may eventually take remains open.

At this stage, her life includes schoolwork, hobbies, friends, and family alongside fashion shows and creative projects. Each experience offers another opportunity to understand her interests and consider the direction she may eventually pursue.

Through it all, Vivienne Monique holds to one principle:

“Don’t fit into a mold—be yourself.”
