Leo Season Celebration: Spotlight on Cara Delevingne’s Rise in Fashion and Film

Leo season is here and Cara Delevingne is today’s special birthday guest for this week’s throwback. The London-based model/actress started her career at a young age. At 16 years old, Cara attended ‘Bedales School’ in Hampshire in hopes of studying music and drama, however, dropped out a year later to pursue her modeling career.

Over the years, Delevingne has achieved many memorable things. On the runway, she walked for houses like ‘Burberry’, ‘Dolce & Gabbana’, ‘Moschino’, ‘Fendi’ and ‘Mulberry’, numerous fashion weeks, and she was the face of Burberry for spring/summer 2011-2012. Of course, the list of Cara’s big-time modeling jobs is significantly longer than this but this was somewhat her beginning.
