^No, I don't think so. She wasn't supposed to do HC, but since she was in Paris, she decided to do the show. Normally she would've done more shows though (JPG & Valentino would've loved to have her in their show) but tomorrow she already flies back to NY for a job, and she missed the castings for the other shows. I'm glad she showed up though. Givenchy is, to me, the most important show of the HC season anyway, and it had such a great casting! I'm glad Pat was a part of it 
No I'm not 
She sent me a message on hyves (dutch facebook) and she told me. She's so nice!
pat looks gorgeous and special at Givenchy

NEWCOMERS SERIES: PATRICIA VAN DER VLIET
PATRICIA VAN DER VLIET INTERVIEW
Tell us a little bit about yourself
I was born in Zaandam, Holland which is five minutes from Amsterdam. I’m crazy about my family and my boyfriend. I love to shop, to have fun with my friends and reading books. Besides that my passion is modeling.
How did you start your career in modeling?
I always wanted to become a model but unfortunately none of the agencies in Holland liked me. Then I entered a model competition, Holland’s Next Top Model. Wrong, I know but for me it was my last shot at getting into the business. Although I didn’t win, I was voted out in the finale. Agencies were suddenly excited to sign me. After signing with an agency in Holland. I flew to New York to meet New York Models and loved them right away. They sent me on castings for fashion week in September. And boom!… A model was born!
Your career is really taking off this year, how are you finding it?
I think it’s amazing! It’s so funny because I always dreamed about this and now I’m really doing it! How ridiculous is that? I just try to enjoy it as much as I can.
What have been your favourite jobs so far and why?
The Balenciaga campaign. Because it’s the Balenciaga campaign! And the shows of course! It’s such an amazing feeling to stand there on the catwalk with all the camera’s flashing in your face.

What type of jobs attract you the most?
Shoots for magazines because I feel I have grown so much in doing editorials. I really like it and I can experiment more in front of the camera now.
Can you tell us about anything you have coming up soon?
I think my agent has to fill this in.
Who would you really like to work with?
That is an hard question. The person I’d really liked to work with died a couple of years ago. Yves Saint Laurent. He was somebody I really admired.
Who are your favourite photographers?
Daniel Jackson, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Alasdair McLellan, Mauro et Sofia.

What’s the most important quality a model needs to have?
A good face and well shaped body of course. I also think you need to be a very sociable person, down to earth and just don’t let it get to your head. There are other things beside modelling.
What ambition would you like to achieve?
I hope I’ll be on the cover of Vogue.
Who would be your dream dinner party guests? (living or dead)
Wentworth Miller, the guy from Prison Break. He is soooo unbelievably HOT! But don’t tell my boyfriend haha
If you had one wish what would it be?
A healthy and happy life for me and my family.
