Interview - Marloes Horst (Next)

Marloes Horst, from the Netherlands, is a star in the making. Her career took off with walking the Prada SS09 show and booking a Valentino Fragrance campaign by Glenn Luchford. A Numero Tokyo editorial and a Sportmax Code campaign as well as a Vogue Hommes International editorial by star photographer Terry Richardson ensued. Skipping most of the shows in Febuary 2009 Marloes went back on the runways during the recent Fashionweek, walking for Topshop Unique. Meanwhile some prestigious magazines like Vogue Russia, Vogue Germany, Dazed & Confuzed and Elle demanded Marloes. Not to forget about her getting booked for the new Pirelli Calender (alognside Abbey Lee, Lily Cole and a handful of many other top girls). Currently on the new cover of L’Officiel, Marloes answered our questions from a hotel room in Los Angeles.

1. Marloes, you applied to an agency in 2007, right? When did you get interested in this industry and who convinced you to apply?
Curious is more the word. I'm from a small village in Holland and of course we read some magazines and watched TV, but I never was really into fashion. Just the thought of being one of those girls in the magazine was cool.
My best friend and me made some pictures in her garden and sent them to agencies. I got some reactions back and I went to visite them. That's how it all started. Just some young girls' dream that came true in the end.
My friend ended up being a make up artist!


2. In what way has your life changed? Do you work as full time model now?
My life changed big time! First I was scared about going to Amsterdam and now I live in New York. I'm a much more social and grown up person.
I finished my high school and then started full time modeling. At the same time all my friends went on to study and I needed to create my own life that time.
Travelling alone over the world, meeting and staying with people I never knew before. It took me a while to addept to this fashion industry life, people judging and talking about every single thing of me. But now I'm a strong person and I'm living an amazing live!


3. Do you think that it's important to educate in school before going abroad for jobs?
Yes, yes yes. I'm so glad that I've already finished my high school. When you're a starting model nothing guarantees you a well payed modeling career. If faith kicks in and it doesnt work out being a model, you can start your school year all over again or looking for a job without any graduation.
And moreover, modeling is nothing for dumb people. You need to be aware of the world you will be travelling in on your own.


4. Is it actually difficult to balance out your job from your private life? Can you plan things like spending time with your friends & family or vacations in advance?
It's hard putting family on a second place. Getting a great job doesn't mean it will take you to the next level. There are so many maybes in this world. So, saying no to family events because you've got a job that maybe will change your career is tough. Especially when you live abroad and need to cancel a moment to see your family.
Planning in advance is not happening in this world! I don't know what I am doing tomorrow or where I will be! It's a fast and last minute industry.
August and Christmas are the two 'legal' moments to say no and see your family and I never let that chance go by.


5. What would you say was your breakthrough moment?
The Prada show gave me a great boost.


6. With reference to your jobs: Do you have some kind of codecision or does always the agency decide which jobs to do?
The agency always tells what kind of jobs I’m in option for and they advice me. You talk about what way you and your agency want to present and push you. Every model has her own road to take.


7. Do you remember the moment when you booked the Valentino fragrance campaign? Tell us, what was it like and how did you feel.
I was in a tent in France! I was road tripping at the time with some friends. It was amazing and I couldn’t believe it. I asked the agency if the client was sure HAHA


8. Who taught you basics like posing, walking, how to look into a camera or was it more of learning by doing?
Learning by doing. You need to find your own way in front of the camera. Photographers give you tips in the start, like watching your neck or not making your hands look like a big lump etc. These are little things you just need to learn by doing it over and over again. By looking at your pictures and seek for improvement.


9. Regarding editorials and campaigns: Do you prefer "only girl" or "multi girl" stories?
“Only girl” I guess... I like to have chemistry with the crew and especially with the photographer. With multi girls it's usually harder to get that effect.


10. Do you still have to go to castings for eds/ads or do you get everything by direct booking?
Of course I have to do castings. I did great stuff but I’m not a Kate Moss or Gisele yet!


11. How does a killer body like yours stay in shape?
I have a trainer in New York. I go to the O-diesel studio and train with Oscar. He trains a lot of models and makes working out fun!
When I’m somewhere else I run and do exercises in my hotel room.


12. Has there ever been a job you were totally looking forward to but was unfortunately cancelled in the last minute?
Not that I recall, I think I blocked that out of my memories ;)


13. Seriously, you're on the top. So it would be very interesting to know: are you still excited when you get booked for a big job?
Yeeeessss I get crazy excited and still get nervous all the time! The bigger the job, the bigger the expectations from the model. I research about the style of the brand or of a photographer and try to be a little prepared, but every shoot is different and you need to make it your own. That gives me a lot of pressure.


14. Referring to the Pirelli shooting: Was it actually so relaxing like it looks on the pictures? Where has it been photographed and how much time did the shooting take?
The Pirelli shooting was amazing. We shot in Brazil, Trancoso. At daytime on the beach and around the resort during night.
Because there was a lot of nudity a relaxed vibe was really important at the shoot . Being comfortable with the other girls and the crew that’s surrounding you during the shooting.
It turned out great, we all got along so well that after the first day it was something like a big holiday with pictures. I was in the first group and we stayed for 5 days. At the 5th day the second group came and we had press day. Group 2 stayed for 2 days after we left.
The shooting days were long: Starting at 8 and roughly ending at 1 am.


15. Anything you would advice new models to wear to a casting?
Always wear heels. It shows that you put effort in the casting and that you respect the client.
Also you should wear something that shows off your body in a good way. That can be a shirt and jeans or a dress with tights, whatever you feel comfortable in.
Remember that there will be a lot of girls at a casting. Try to get a personal style so you can stand out.


16. Is it a strange feeling to have some kind of fans who are supporting you and talking about your work like on thefashionspot.com?
They are incredible! They know when magazines come out before the agency does. It's an amazing feeling people follow and support you like that. Ok sometimes there are bad things written about a shoot, but everybody has his own own opinion and I respect that. It's good to hear the negative side though.. It makes you thinking.


17. Now in the end: Tell us one thing you'd like the world to know!
Well my mom is my biggest fan. So I want to dedicate this question to her and put the spotlights on her for a change! Ik hald fan dei !


Thank you for the detalied answers on our qestions, Marloes :)!

Marloes Horst
Thursday, 26.02.2009 - By Sille Henning

ELLES cover model, Marloes Horst, has been the model in one and a half years. The Dutch beauty live in New York and has already made fashion series including ELLE English and Russian Vogue and now also Danish ELLE. We asked her about ...

INTERNATIONAL FAVORITE DESIGNERS?
Definitely Marc Jacobs and Giorgio Armani.

LARGEST PHOTO EXPERIENCE TO DATE?
Valentino campaign with photographer Glen Luchford. I'm still an 'up-and-coming' model, and therefore I was very surprised when I got the campaign, but it was great to get the chance.

CATWALK GREATEST ADVENTURE?
I've actually only been one show, and it was Prada S / S, the 2009th After Valentino campaign, I went straight to Milan and was booked.

FAVORITE BEAUTY PRODUCTS?
Facial Cream 'Lait-Crème Concentré' from Embryolisse. It can unfortunately only be purchased at pharmacies in Paris. And Laura Mercier concealer, den er jeg blevet anbefaletpå mange fotooptagelser. (really have not a clue what this means


FAVORITE PERFUME?
Kenzo 'Flower'. My best friend used it forever, and I was ecstatic with the fragrance. Now it is my perfume.

ALWAYS IN BAG?
My phone, my concealer and chewing gum.

BEST SHOP SITE?
New York secondhand stores. If you have many basic things in her wardrobe from, for example. H & M, one can easily create its own style by mixing with vintage. London is also a good shoppeby. They dry more, but there are just so expensive.

FAVORITE THINGS in the closet?
Underwear. I met a model who said: 'Why go in bad underwear when you can go to the delicious? " - And it's true. Now I love it. Underwear drawer is my favorite drawer in the dresser.

BEST STYLINGTIP?
"The mirror never lies'. Do not buy too small pants; the tensioner and it bulges out over the waistband - it is not smart. Buy them one size bigger so they fit nicely, rather than to rejoice that you can close a smaller size
