MODEL BEHAVIOUR: ELZA LUIJENDIJK
We caught up with the Dutch model following her shoot in the June issue of Dazed & Confused

Elza Luijendijk is the former Prada exclusive who has walked for Balenciaga, Givenchy, Miu Miu, Hakaan, Alexander McQueen and Yves Saint Laurent – and has made a serious impact as the face of Versace's A/W12 campaign, photographed by Mert & Marcus. In Dazed's June issue, Elza is overwhelmed by butterflies as part of Ben Toms and Robbie Spencer's atmospheric shoot, each hand applied by Belgian make-up artist (emphasis on the artist) Peter Philips, known for his hyper-romantic and embellished take on beauty.

Dazed Digital: What 5 things would you take into outer space?
Elza Luijendijk:

1. My friends.
2. My family.
3. My heels.
4/5. A photographer and his camera.

DD: Where is your favourite place on earth?
Elza Luijendijk: Lanzarote, because it’s always hot and sunny and it's such a beautiful island! I hope I get to shoot in Lanzarote at least once!

DD: How was the shoot you did for the issue with Robbie Spencer and Ben Toms? Do you have a favourite memory from it?
Elza Luijendijk: The shoot was amazing! I loved the team and I loved the butterflies!

DD: What's been the greatest thing that's happened to you since you started modelling?
Elza Luijendijk: So many great things have happened! I met my best friend, who is also a model. And I met so many amazing people! I have enjoyed every model moment in my life so far! Working with creative people, walking huge shows, shooting beautiful editorials.

DD: Tell us something we wouldn't expect of you...
Elza Luijendijk: I love to design clothes. I like to design bags and shoes and I also love to customize clothes!

I've always find it funny these cases where a girl is totally perfect and very unique looking... like it would be such an ironic coincidence to find another girl as unique and gorgeous as the 1st one

... and suddenly: BOOM! she has a twin!

Wow she's so versatile, from the intense dark gothic makeup in the Versace ads, to very natural and simple makeup and setting in the Chloé resort lookbook. I hope she goes super far. This season will be hard to top!
