"I never actually wanted to be a model, let alone thought I could model,\" admits sixteen-year-old Grace Booth. But after being scouted on a mall escalator (some girls have all the luck), Grace's unplanned career path is on the unstoppable up-and-up. Especially after being handpicked by superstar model turned actress Agyness Deyn to be the face of her quirky yet polished fall 2013 Dr. Martens line\u2014a dream first job. \"I wanted someone who embodied the fun and youthful spirit of the collection,\" explains Agyness, who reveled in being behind the scenes after twelve years of being in front of the camera. \"Grace is full of life\u2014and a bit crazy. She reminded me of a Tim Burton character!\"\n\n It seems like a preordained match, considering Grace and her entire family have their own legacy with the English heritage brand. \"My auntie owns about 25 pairs of Docs, and my dad wore them on his wedding day,\" says Grace, who, coincidentally, had an almost-encounter with Agyness as a tween. \"I saw her in Selfridges department store with my sister!\" she says. \"We were a little bit starstruck and pondered asking for a picture.\" Now, not only has she got her picture\u2014and a hefty head start in the fashion biz\u2014but Grace, who spends her spare time cooking and baking (\"Sometimes it doesn't go down so well,\" she says with a laugh), has the ultimate modeling mentor. \"Agyness has given me tips, and a few weeks after the shoot she sent me cupcakes!\" she exclaims. So what does the veteran predict for her apprentice? \"She's a natural, and I think she's going to do really great,\" Agyness declares. A pretty sweet stamp of approval.\n\nBe sure to watch the Dr. Martens Stand for Something campaign video below!\n\nDirected by: James Pearson Howes"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
