\nI was discovered: <\/strong>
\nI wasn\u2019t really, it was more like college avoidance! I joined an agency and got a job, which meant I missed orientation so I decided to give modelling a go. I was on hold for a job, then I got the Balenciaga exclusive which took me overseas and I did the fashion season. I\u2019m now on my third season!
\n
\nBefore modelling I was:<\/strong>
\nReally unsure about what I was going to do. I had just finished high school and been traveling around the world with my best friend. It was either continuing to work in the burger shop beach house or go to college.<\/p>\n
\nI love bike riding, doing yoga and buying flowers. I also like just wandering around wherever I am because it\u2019s usually a new place. <\/p>\n
\nA little mix of everything. I really like Nicki Minaj- I saw her the other day. I also like soundtracks, The Virgin Suicides is one of my favourites. I love the Kanye West and Jay-Z albums. I have a soft spot for Jay-Z! <\/p>\n
\nI always read Time Magazine<\/em> and Vanity Fair<\/em>. At the moment I\u2019m reading a one thousand page book about India which is going to keep me entertained for the rest of the year!<\/p>\n
\nIn London were Topshop, Jonathan Saunders and Giles.<\/p>\n
\nIs pretty great. I was in the Bahamas a few weeks ago for a Resort shoot. I spent the whole week on a beach, with not much makeup on and every day I just had to wake up and pretend to sunbathe. That was really good! I thought to myself, “Seriously this isn\u2019t bad!”<\/p>\n
\nNew York. When I\u2019m there, I like riding alone along the West Side Highway, the Highline and Chelsea Market. There is a really great Mexican restaurant that I like to go to and Hudson Street has good restaurants. New York is just good to walk around. If you walk anywhere you\u2019ll find everything. New York is never quiet so I always feel safe.<\/p>\n
\nDavid Sims and Mario Testino. I loved working with Terry Richardson, he\u2019s cool. Steven Meisel is good because he is like the best, you know what I mean?! I would love to shoot for Italian Vogue, an i-D cover and for Wonderland!<\/p>\n
\nI always used to wear an anklet but I now have it tattooed so I never have to take it off! I have three tattoos and I won\u2019t be getting anymore. I don\u2019t really like them, they just are what they are.<\/p>\n
\nDolce & Gabbana- I think their clothes are pretty amazing. Also, Alaia who just makes the most expensive clothes!
\n
\nA person in fashion that inspires me is:<\/strong>
\nDaria Werbowy. I think she\u2019s pretty amazing and Abbey Lee. She is one of the hardest working girls there is.<\/p>\n
\nDoing Chanel in the Grand Palais with the big orchestra and Karl Lagerfeld. And just being there, doing what I\u2019m doing and not fucking working in a burger shop. Out of trouble and going somewhere. <\/p>\n
\nRuling at life. I haven\u2019t worked it out yet, maybe write or do something else. Have a business. A long time from now I would like to go back to Australia and have some kids but to do anything, you\u2019ve got to get out of there. It\u2019s just different how people act and respond there. <\/p>\n
