(Picture: Jesse Laitinen)Six feet tall and with cheekbones like geometry, Harris Dickinson is a convincing model, even if he’s a slightly reluctant one. He has been approached by several designers to appear on their catwalks but has demurred. ‘I don’t think I’d be very comfortable,’ he apologises. ‘I’ll leave it to the models.’
As he makes his way off set, we make small talk, as you do. ‘I haven’t been to this studio before, no, but I live nearby,’ he says. ‘I’ve been to the area; to The Dump and things.’ The Dump? Is that a club? ‘The dump,’ he says, looking at me like I’m loopy. ‘The actual dump. For recycling.’
