Ashford model, Rheanna Barber is set to walk her fourth season of London Fashion Week in September.
The 17-year-old has confirmed she will be walking for the sixth season of the Fashion International show held at the Amba Hotel Charing Cross in London.
Rheanna was first scouted by show producer and creative director Geoff Cox, after modelling for a charity fashion show at Homewood School & Sixth Form Centre, Tenterden. At the age of 15, she made her debut at London Fashion Week in September 2015 and has been published on the VOGUE website three times.
