Meet the Models — Olivia Thornton
Shaky photos and nervous banter with hot babes at a casting.
Yesterday, Oyster held a casting with our Fashion Week contributors Mark Vassallo and Yimmy Yayo at Luxe Studios. I got to go too, which was exciting (and also terrifying). My general disposition is always at least 70% flustered and my natural state could be described as ‘first date’, so the thought of being surrounded by literally hundreds of females — impossibly good-looking females with legs longer than my entire body — sent me into somewhat of a panic. Miraculously, and without the aid of a hip flask, I managed to keep my **** together long enough to take some very shaky iPhone photos of the girls and forget all of the questions that I had prepared for them in the process. JOURNALISM. It was really difficult not to tell every girl that she was beautiful, so I just went ahead and did it.

Olivia Thornton from Viviens was one of the first girls I spoke to, and I'm glad because she was really cool.

Ingrid Kesa: Hi Olivia, how old are you?
Olivia Thornton: I’m 19.

Cool. So have you walked at fashion week before?
Yes, this will be my third time. The first time I did it I was still in high school so I came down, walked in two shows and then went back to school.

Came down? Where did you grow up?
In Murwillumbah. It’s a small town just north of Byron Bay, on the Queensland and New South Wales border.

Does your family live up there still?
Yep.

And are you based in sydney now?
I’m kind of in-between. I've been traveling for the last 6 months, but I’m back and really enjoying it.

What’s a job you’ve done lately that you really enjoyed or was good for your career?
Well, I don’t know if this was good for my career, I mean obviously it was but it was nothing huge or anything... I did this editorial recently in Paris and the concept was kind of Alice in Wonderland... she’s stuck in this little house and she’s a giant. They had this box with these stretchy walls and I kind of had to be, like, pushing through this material and it was all really cool so I enjoyed that.

What was the last book you read?
It was The Secret.

What did you think?
Yeah! I really liked it. I keep re-reading bits because I think it’s got some relevant life advice and I kind of try to live by it a little bit, yeah, it’s got some good things to live by I think.

5 minutes with Australian model Olivia Thornton
Just three years ago, Olivia Thornton was unknown. Today, she’s walking for some of the most prominent designers in the industry. Vogue meets the Queensland native who’s making her mark on the world stage.
Olivia Thornton was discovered on the Gold Coast at the end of 2009, and after only having appeared in two fashion weeks in Australia – “My first Australian Fashion Week I was still in school so it wasn’t even a proper one, I flew down for a couple days and then went home!” she says – has already made the jump to the international show circuit. See what she has to say about her rapid rise in the industry.

What’s the moment that’s summed up fashion season so far?
Probably doing the shows here in Paris because it was the culmination of all my efforts and tiredness and exhaustion. And it was cool being in the line up with some of the top girls.

What was your favourite show?
Either Mary Katrantzou in London or Thierry Mugler – I would probably say Mugler because it was such a good line-up of girls and a fantastic collection, as always.

How does it feel to be doing all these big shows overseas, especially Mugler?
I think when you’re going to fashion week you always have the thought in the back of your mind like, “Oh you know, there are so many girls and so many beautiful faces, why would they book me?” [So] it was definitely a massive honour, it was really, really exciting to be in that show and I’ve kind of followed his work for a long, long time so... yeah. It was really exciting.

What do you always have in your bag during fashion week?
Trail mix and my iPod – apart from the essentials like phone and wallet and stuff.

How do you kill time backstage?
If I have friends in the shows, we’ll hang out and chat but if I’m by myself I usually read, or write, or draw or listen to my iPod.

Your favourite thing about being a model?
Definitely travelling and the people I get to meet. I met my boyfriend through modelling, and I’ve met girls who are fast becoming some of my closest friends.

And the worst thing about modelling – or aspects you don’t like as much?
Castings, especially during fashion week, can get kind of gruelling. And sometimes travelling – I mean it’s a good thing, but with a lack of routine and living out of a suitcase for six months at a time, it can get a little bit frustrating. But it’s all part of it.

How do you feel having made such a meteoric rise in the modelling industry, is it a bit surreal?
Um, yeah. It seems a little bit. But to me it doesn’t feel that rapid, [it more] feels like I did it step by step. But at the same time, it has happened relatively quickly [and] when I look back maybe six months ago, I never thought I’d been doing this so soon – or doing it at all.

And looking to the future, are there any brands, photographers or stylists who you’d really love to work with, in your ultimate modelling fantasies?
One thing that I’d like to do is a lot of the big shows for a fashion week. And then I guess the ultimate thing would be to book a beauty campaign – that would be really nice. Any opportunity to work with any of the big designers, and anything further than a show, like a campaign would be awesome.

She switched from Vivien's to Chic. Also no longer with DNA models.
