meet the next generation of australian model all-stars
Ahead of Fashion Month i-D checked in with the local girls getting ready to set the world on fire. With Fashion Month just a heartbeat away, we check in with the local faces getting ready to take their place in the next generation of modeling stars. With growing presences at home some may already be familiar, but one thing's for sure-these girls are worth remembering.
Name?
Madeleine Gurton
Age?
18
Where are you from?
Perth, Australia.
You're still pretty fresh to modeling, but what has been your favourite moment?
I think it would be my first magazine shoot; it was memorable because I became really close with the photographers and I was in the magazine twice. That was really cool.
Did you always want to work in fashion?
Yes, when I was little I use to sneak into my aunt's bathroom and grab all the Vogues off the shelves and flick through them. I became obsessed. I really loved fashion and playing dress ups
Where would we find you when you're not working?
I like to draw, I love painting and experimenting with art.
Tell us a little about your art.
I only recently even started painting with water colours. I just really like pattern drawing and using fine liners and making lots of images with details. I also love writing lists - random lists like, when you're on the bus. Lists like: all the times I've cried this year, all the songs I love from this year, new friends I've made. Oh, and foods that give me diarrhea!
It's good to have a unique hobby! What are you looking forward to?
Probably travelling, I'm really excited to go overseas and meet everyone and see what's out there. I'm going to Paris in February, so that's exciting!
