Balenciaga bullet Myf Shepherd and her runway "zen"
Yes, she bagged Balenciaga as well. Is there anything that Australia's latest modelling sensation, 17 year-old BrisVegan Myf Shepherd, can't do? Modelling since February, famously snubbed by Australia's Next Top Model, Shepherd hit the ground running at Australian Fashion Week in April and basically has not stopped. Venturing into uncharted Australian modelling territory in her first international runway season, she has notched up a raft of blue chip brand name shows, from Marc Jacobs to Prada, Gucci, Fendi, Christian Dior and Balenciaga. I managed to grab a quick chat with Shepherd 20 minutes ago as she tore out of Balenciaga en route to a fitting for..........Chanel.
What an amazing ride these past few weeks must have been. How the hell are you?
Myf Shepherd: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha [keeps laughing]. Ridiculous!
Ridiculous?
I don't know, it's just so crazy. And I feel like I'm out of my body at the moment.
Has there been a particular highlight so far, or has it all been a blur?
Well I just did Balenciaga, that was pretty amazing.
How was Balenciaga?
It was so cool. The clothes were really incredible. And we get trade for it. So I'm going to try and get some now.
What was the collection like?
It reminded me of Power Rangers in the 90s. It was really futuristic and very structured. Everything seems to be structured.
What kind of styling?
The hair was just a plain ponytail. They bleached our eyebrows. Natural makeup. It was very 'alien'.
Were you the only Australian girl?
No Stephie Carta was in it too.
How about Nick Cave's son Jethro? Reportedly he auditioned.
Jethro - yes I talked to him. He was cool.
What did Balenciaga want?
They wanted very 'androgynous'.
How do you act androgynous?
Don't be too sexy.
Almost 2 hours?? Nicolas Ghesquiere is the new Marc Jacobs...what about Junya Watanabe?
