Webber: Feature
celebrity
interview 'life
of a super model'.... |
| Q1:
How long has it actually been since the last
time you skated? |
| A1:My
last competition was in 2000 in Melbourne at the National
Championships, though I did go for a casual skate a few months
back for fun. |
| Q2.
Is there any particular reason why you gave up skating? |
|
A2:
Narrow minded attitudes and the lack of progression with the
sport generally.
|
| Q3.
What lead you in to modelling? |
| A3:
It's kind of a fairy tale really. I was scouted on King St in
Perth by Vivian of Vivians Modelling Agency. She is the head
of the agency and based in Sydney. Following our meeting her
daughter flew across to Perth to meet with me and discuss the
future. It all started to happen from that day. |
| Q4.
What kind of work have you been doing since signing
with Vivians? |
| A4:
I've done quite a few small editorials for Perth street/style
magazines like Express. I worked the run way at Style Aid,
Mercedes Fashion Week and I have done some work for GQ,
Process and an upcoming issue of Oyster Mag. |
| Q5.
Are there any exciting projects in the works or coming
up we should know about? |
| A5.
I will be doing catwalk work for Melbourne and Sydney
Fashion week which is coming up and when I go to Europe I will
work London and Milan fashion week there. |
Q6. Has there been any relationship between the skating and modelling?
|
| A6:
Actually,
I will be on skates at the next Style Aid show in Perth soon.
So it will be interesting being on skates on a runway! |
| Q7.
Is there anything you miss about skating? |
| A7:Yes,
the people and my friends. I also miss the thrill of executing
an item perfectly, it was always a great feeling. And I miss
doing inverted camels. I loved doing them because no other
guys did them and that was my motivation to do one properly! |
| Q8.
What exactly are you doing in Melbourne this weekend? |
| A8:
I'm doing a casting for an International Japanese agency for
some television work in Japan. It's a quick trip and I will be
only here for the day. |
| Q9.
I'd like to know who your favourite designers are
actually and what magazines you enjoy reading? |
| A9:
Well.. let me see! I love Alexander McQueen, Tsubi, Roy, Comme
des GARÇONS, Ace.. there are so many! As for reading, I cant
get enough of magazines - I love reading them. My favourites
are; iD, Black+White, Blue Mode, V, Oyster, Paper Mag,
Wallpaper, Fruits, The Face and Italian Vogue (L'umo). |
| Q10.
You look great! What are you doing to keep
fit? |
| A10:To
tell you the truth... I'm pretty care free. I swim a little
but I haven't been and don't do any excercise now! As for
eating, well... I eat everything! |
| Q11.
Is there a particular feature you look for in a person
that you like? |
| A11:
I like someone with a great personality that really
gives them a presence... people like that have a great aura
about them. |
| Q12.
What fashion can we expect to see you wearing in the future? |
| A12:
Aside
from what I will be wearing at shows etc. I guess I'll have
stuff from, Tsubi, Paul O'Connor, Varga Boys, Lux & Amy
Frans accessories, 11:11 and things I have made myself! |
| Q13.
It's been great doing this interview. Do you have a message to
those reading this interview? (and then we can finish our
drinks!) |
| A13:
Be individual and be yourself. If you are ever faced with a
knock back in life don't let it hold you back in anyway. It's
all about being in the right place at the right time - make
your destiny happen.. |
