Kicking It With Aussie Models Fernanda Ly & Jordan Barrett Big time personality.
By Nadia Bailey:
Where are you right now?
Fernanda Ly: At this moment, a cafe in St. Marks Place, New York! I'm being very rude and looking at my phone instead of socialising with my friends who are sitting here with me.
You were back in Australia to shoot the Marcs campaign. What are some things you look forward to about coming home?
My parents' home cooking and seeing my friends in person — not through a phone screen.
Having that Louis Vuitton exclusive was a huge deal. Was that your career highlight so far?
Definitely — everything else I have done has been amazing, but only happened as a result of the Vuitton exclusive putting me out there. I'm really thankful to Nicolas, Ashley and the Vuitton team for everything.
Is modelling your main focus at the moment?
Modelling is something I really enjoy, but I'm interested in everything! I want to learn about other cultures and languages which modelling enables me to do.
What are some other things that you're into?
Reading, (currently) tea set collecting as I have no tea-related stuff with me in New York, and cafe hunting as usual.
What do you do to kill time while you're waiting around on shoots or backstage?
I circulate between lots of reading and playing 'Love Live! School Idol Festival'. If I'm lucky and shooting with people I know, we catch up while waiting for our turns to shoot.
Do you chill on your phone a lot? What's your fave app?
Instagram is the only thing I use, so I suppose I can only choose that. However if Line (a messaging app) counts it would be that — I buy too many stickers!
What's the last book you read?
Oliver Sacks' Hallucinations — great book and great author.
What's the last song you listened to?
Some sort of Middle Eastern pop music that's currently playing in the background at the cafe I'm at.
What was the last thing you took a photo of?
My tea and water that I have finished drinking already. Someone asked me where I was so I sent them that.
What are you most excited about in life right now?
My Royal Albert tea pot that should be arriving tomorrow, and learning Mandarin! I'm really interested in languages and learning them so I'm taking classes now.
