Meet the forgotten 90s supermodel who was Tim Walker's original muse:

had just come out, giving birth to a pale and punky beauty ideal. The timing couldn't have been better.

Modelling was an affirmation he’d long been looking for."I had always been on the coattail of someone else's gig -- whether it was my ex-girlfriend's, or my brother's," Billy says."I was always someone's plus one. But finally I had something that wasI had purpose, and that was empowering." In a few years it all started to take a turn."I was an absolute nightmare to raise, and was completely driven by my erratic moods," he recalls.

Cliches are usually rooted in the truth: it can be lonely at the top. This was the case for Billy, who was struggling in New York, a city which gave him anxiety. But he's quick to point out he will not place the blame on anyone but himself."From agents to clients to colleagues, there is an unbelievable amount of patience out there and I blew it," he says."And it wasn't as if someone had put a gun to my head. I went willingly.

A time of reckoning started -- stretched over a long period in which he completely withdrew from modelling."The first step is identifying, isolating and acknowledging where the unhappiness in you is emanating from," he explains."Realising that it's not your girlfriend, or your friends or family who are the problem but that the common denominator is you. Who was present at every scene of crime? Me.

“In the end I might have upset people but the person that I've upset most of all was myself,” Billy adds. “I am turning 50 at the end of April and no longer need to escape. I am present."
