The aim of our Grazia 360 mission is to show you what Fashion Week is like from all angles. Fashion Week for the models isn't as glamorous as you might think - it involves a lot of hair pulling, late night castings and early call times. To show you what Fashion Week is like for those on the catwalk, we enlisted model Leomie Anderson to share with you her photo diary.

How many shows did you walk in?
Leomie: "I did thirteen shows in New York!"
Which was your busiest day so far?
Leomie: "The last two days in New York were the busiest as I did three shows a day. I had a moment where I got to my second show at the time it was meant to start and had my hair and makeup done in ten minutes."
How do you look after your hair/skin during fashion week?
Leomie: "I use a variety Kiehls products on my skin, but drinking lots of water and herbal tea definitely helps."

Highlight of New York?
Leomie: "Meeting miley Cyrus and walking for Jeremy Scott for the fourth time. I love doing his show, it's so much fun from the clothes and atmosphere backstage to Jeremy himself and the stylist carlyne, I just love it!"
How is New York Fashion Week different to in other cities?
Leomie: "New York Fashion Week has the longest casting period as it's the first city so it feel so much longer than everywhere else. I find it one of the most stressful and hectic fashion week cities."
How much sleep do you really get during Fashion Week?
Leomie: "Not a lot at all. Some shows have call times at 6am but I wouldn't have gotten home until late the previous evening and you don't have any days off at all."
[Jason Lloyd Evans]
How do you keep up blogging during fashion week?
Leomie: "It's really hard to keep crackedchinacup.com up to date during fashion week, especially my videos as they take a lot of time to edit. Shooting any outfit posts is basically impossible so I try to shoot a lot before hand."
Do you ever get nervous by the stars on the front row?
Leomie: "I don't really think about the front row because most of the time you can't see anything because of the lights. I loved knowing 2 chainz was at Jeremy Scott though as he's one of my favourite rappers."
Do you try and make an effort with what you're wearing?
Leomie: "I make an effort with casting outfits because I use my clothes to show my personality which not a lot of models do. If they don't remember my race, they will definitely remember my outfit and I've booked jobs because of that.
