....Zippora Seven is probably our most distinctive local girl, having appeared in shoots in French Vogue (shot by renowned photographer Bruce Weber), Jalouse, Japanese Elle, Russh and more, as well as in a campaign for See by Chloe. Once dubbed "the New Zealand Kate Moss" (because she's relatively short by model standards), fashion gushes over Seven. She opened the Twenty-seven Names show at Air NZ Fashion Week last month, appears in new season campaigns for Lonely Hearts and Sera Lilly, and fashion websites are obsessed with taking her photo.
Stylist Zara Mirkin, who works as the fashion editor of No Magazine, says Seven is one of two models she will never tire of working with (the other one being Tallulah Morton).
"It's almost unhealthy for my work as they have set the standards so high. It's so important to work with amazing models - there are so many out there these days who are vain and competitive, and have let it go to their head, but these two haven't changed at all since I first started working with them."
Stylist Dan Ahwa also credits Seven's success to her humble attitude. "We've worked on a lot of shoots together, and she is still the same today as she was when I first booked her."
But it's Seven's unique look and style that has made her a favourite with non-fashion industry types, including lots of young fashion bloggers.
"I think the reason why so many girls are obsessed with her is because she is not a normal "supermodel", she is not an Amazonian six foot size zero freak of nature," says Mirkin. "People can relate to her because she is just a miniature kid from Grey Lynn who doesn't wear makeup, and doesn't think she is all that. She is such a shy, kind free-spirit, and yes, she has her own very unique, eclectic style that has made her into a muse not just to me but to many others."....
