Backstage interview with Julia Nobis at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, May 5, 2011
Harper’s BAZAAR: You’ve done a lot of campaigns this season. Which ones were your favourite, and who was the most enjoyable to work with?
Julia Nobis: “I did Proenza Schouler’s campaign for S/S 2011. I worked with photographer Willy Vanderperre on that and it was really great; I just love the Proenza boys. Both Jack [McCollough] and Lazaro [Hernandez] are amazing. We had wanted to get together anyway as friends so we could all hang out and then the idea of me modelling for the campaign developed from there. I love it when you’ve got a good relationship with either the designers or stylists that goes beyond a purely professional level. It makes me feel so much more comfortable to have that friendship when I’m working at shows and on shoots. Then [I feel] it’s OK if I make mistakes or do something clumsy.
I also did the Balenciaga campaign about three weeks ago and that was amazing.”
