Marbella Designer Caroline Azzi flew to London and had the pleasure of styling gorgeous Ex on the Beach star Farah Sattaur for an exclusive photoshoot with celebrity photographer Alan Strutt We caught up with the TV star, model and singer to find out all about her fashion rocking career, future music industry plans, love life and much more.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEING STYLED BY CAROLINE AZZI?
It was a great experience collaborating with Caroline, I love her designs and felt it worked well with my own style.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE ITEM FROM HER COLLECTION?
I fell in love with her chunky choker necklace, that drapes at the front. I’ve worn it on a night out with a low cut top, the overall look is sexy and classy. One of my fav looks!
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
With my music influencers and growing up in Camden I definitely have an eclectic style. I love dressing up for red carpets and feeling like a princess but I also love mixing it up with a cute dress and my high tops.
WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?
My parents have always been my role models in life which I am forever grateful for.
WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE TO MODEL FOR CAROLINE AZZI?
I was waiting for a flight with my agent and we were looking at a magazine and came across the Caroline Azzi brand.. the rest as they say is history!
WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO WORK WITH CELEB PHOTOGRAPHER ALAN STRUTT?
He’s a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Love him!
THIS IS ONE OF YOUR MOST STUNNING SHOOTS TO 
DATE – DID YOU FEEL SEXY IN LEATHER HOTPANTS AND BIKINIS?
Thank you so much and yes of course! Body confidence is a big thing for me and I feel passionate about both men and women being comfortable in their own skin. Once you truly embody this, it’s naturally conveyed in what you do and I always hope this comes across in my work.
YOU HAVE A FANTASTIC FIGURE, WHAT DO YOU DO TO STAY IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE?
I eat healthy and go to the gym but all in moderation, as I do love a good fat juicy burger too!
WHAT ABOUT DIET? DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH WHAT 
YOU EAT OR ARE YOU NATURALLY SLIM?
Don’t hate me but I am blessed to not have to be too careful with what I eat. I go to the gym more for fitness and health aesthetics, as those that know me know I have an appetite like a man.
YOU SAID IN A RECENT INTERVIEW YOU ARE A “DEEP THINKER” AND ALSO “A HOPELESS ROMANTIC”. IS THERE ANYONE ROMANCING YOU AT THE MOMENT?
I’m a spiritualist and yes, a grade A cheese ball haha I still believe in the fairy tale! I’m very much focused on myself and my career but that doesn’t mean I’d cut out an opportunity. Love is always on the table!
WHAT WAS IT LIKE STARRING ON EX ON THE BEACH?
Although the whole reality world was new to me at the time, I loved the experience. The process of being scouted at a night club, to the casting, the entire turn around was super quick and I was flown out to Marbella filming two weeks later.
AS YOU STARRED IN THE FIRST EVER SERIES, WERE YOU SURPRISED AT HOW POPULAR THE SHOW HAS BECOME, NOT IN ITS SIXTH SEASON?
You can never anticipate whether a new project is going to be successful or not and in this case I feel grateful to have been a part of something that’s continuing to grow. I remember how excited we all were when we got the call from an MTV exec informing us that the series had the highest rated viewers for a first-time show.
HAVE YOU REMAINED FRIENDS WITH ANY OF THE CAST?
Yes, I keep in touch with a few and see them at industry events.
ARE WE GOING TO SEE YOU ON OUR SCREENS AGAIN SOON?
I have lots of exciting projects I’m looking at right now, whilst going back and forth to LA for some.
IF YOU HAD TO DO ONE MORE REALITY TV SHOW WHAT WOULD IT BE – CBB, IM A CELEB OR STRICTLY COME DANCING?
I’m torn between I’m a Celeb and Strictly, as I’m a celeb would be more of a personal challenge that I’d love to achieve and strictly for my dance background and simply my passion for dance.
AS WELL AS BEING A MODEL, A TV STAR – WE HEAR YOU CAN ALSO SING. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR SINGING CAREER?
I’ve been singing since I was 12 and has always been a love of mine. At the moment, I’m working with some producers so I’ll have some new material out very soon.
ARE THERE ANY PLANS TO LAUNCH A SINGLE OR EVEN BETTER AN ALBUM?
An album is for sure in the plan, although right now I’m working on my ep.
WHAT GENRE/STYLE OF MUSIC DO YOU PERFORM?
I’d say my sound is similar to Jhene Aiko and Aaliyah.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR 2017?
My plan is to stay happy and living out every opportunity that comes my way. One of the events Im looking forward to is the Asian Awards and I’m excited to say Caroline Azzi is also attending this year.
WILL THERE BE ANOTHER CAROLINE AZZI SHOOT? (WE HOPE SO!)
We are in talks at the moment so watch this space.
