WWD: Maddison Brown

Our rising star Maddison Brown is a force to be reckoned with. Featured in the latest Miu Miu Campaign & a comfortable co-star to Nicole Kidman, Maddison is making a mark on the fashion & film industry like none other. We're so proud of what you've already achieved Maddison, we cannot wait to see what's next!

Recently WWD caught up with Maddison to talk about her first film role in 'Strangerland'...

Watch the official trailer here! 

WWD: How did this part come along?

M.B.: One of my agents had read an earlier draft of the screenplay and immediately thought of me for the role of Lily. When casting began I was called in to audition.

WWD: What was the audition process like?

M.B.: Long, arduous, draining, rewarding and absolutely 100 percent worth it. The process made me learn a lot. I went in for my first audition in October 2013 and got the part in March of the next year, so yeah, it was a long, tough process. I auditioned several times, almost seven. But like I said, it was worth it, a total labor of love.

WWD: Tell me about Lily.

M.B.: Lily is very much a teenager starting to discover herself. But in other ways, she is lost. She lives in a dysfunctional family. Her relationship with her father is a very thankless and loveless one. He loves her based on principle, but he resents her and her burgeoning sexuality. Basically, Lily has daddy issues, and it’s because of these issues that she craves the attention of other males. She craves the male connection she is lacking from her father, and the only way she knows how to connect with men outside her family is through sex.

WWD: What was it like the first time you met Nicole Kidman?

M.B.: I was nervous but she was so warm and lovely. Nicole is someone who wants to nurture and support young actors and it was such a relief to be able to connect with her in a real way. I’ve heard stories about more established actors not taking too kindly to young talent, but with Nicole, it was nothing like that.

WWD: Did she give you any acting advice?

M.B.: She didn’t give me tips as far as techniques, but one day we were chatting and I was telling her about all of my modeling experiences. I was sort of at a crossroads: I wanted to pursue acting 100 percent but still felt ties to the modeling industry. I still do. So she said to me, “You should keep doing this. You’re good at it.” Which was, obviously, really encouraging. One day she said to me, “You never complain! That’s good.” And I was like, “Nicole, I’ve been a model for four years — I have nothing to complain about.” Treatment on-set as an actor versus treatment as a model is very, very different.

WWD: I quickly just wanted to ask you about the Miu Miu campaign. How did you find out you had been cast in that?

M.B.: Ha! Oh dear. I was in bed, I had slept in and woke up to like, 10 missed calls from my managers in L.A. I kept trying to call them back, and we kept missing each other. The suspense was killing me, I knew something was up and I wanted to know!

WWD: What was it like shooting with the other actresses [Stacy Martin, Mia Goth and Hailey Gates]?

M.B.: It was pretty cool; as a model, shooting with Steven Meisel was one of my ultimate career goals. It was one of those pinch-yourself moments. They were all supernice and insightful. I was the youngest by a long shot and I enjoy hanging out with older people who are more experienced in the industry than I am. I am a sponge, soaking up information.

 

WWD: Did you give them modeling tips?

M.B.: No way. I left the modeling tips to Meisel.

Noam Frost for IMZCR8

Our Noam Frost features on IMZCR8 this week in a tell all interview... If you thought you knew Noam Frost, think again.

WHO IS NOAM?

From Israel. Born in tel aviv. I am passionate about music. I can spend hours filing through old records and going to concerts. I love tattoos 

DO YOU HAVE ANY?

Not yet. But I will.

WHERE DOES YOUR NAME COME FROM?
(pronounced No - Am)

All the names in Hebrew have a meaning, Noam used to be a boys name until the 90s, but now it's unisex. It means gentle, so basically when someone touches you with that 'softness'.

Frost - my grandparents are Polish/Hungarian/Russian. It's such a young country that there is a really big mix of cultures. French, Spanish, Moroccan , German...

WHAT'S THE MOST DOMINANT CULTURE?

There are 2 million Russian. I guess Polish, Russian, Moroccan or Spanish are most dominant. It's so diverse.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELLING?

My mum used to model in the 80s in Paris. She did pageants in Israel. When I was young I would look through her portfolio. My dad is a reality TV director for shows such as Israel's Next Top Model, Survivor, Amazing Race, Master Chef, Beauty and the Geek - all the Isrealie versions. He used to tell me I'm not aloud to model until I was 16. Then he made a film on the fashion industry and worked with my mother agent. He said if you are going to model this is the woman you should do it with. So I started doing it a little at high school. Then when I finished I flew to London and Paris fashion week walking for Mulberry, Acne, Johnathan Saunders, Christopher Kane. It kind of all took off from there.

WHAT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT YOUR JOB?

That I can get into character and play around. It's fun to travel not just to locations, but within my head and get something new from every shoot. It's like acting.

WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVOURITE BITS SO FAR?

Christopher Kane was my favourite show to walk for. His collections are like art. Such talent and so nice. I recently shot the Dion Lee Resort 16 collection in Sydney. I also walked for him in London. I really liked that.

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM JOB?

Celine. It's so clean and refined.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE GROWING UP IN ISRAEL?

I think there is a lot of misconceptions about Israel . A lot of the time I get asked if we have to walk around covered up. Tel Aviv is a beach city. It's a hot country and the night life is amazing. There is such a big restaurant and food and coffee culture there. I love Tel Aviv. It's my favourite city in the world. 

YOU MENTIONED YOUR DAD DID NEXT TOP MODEL...WHAT IS THE FASHION INDUSTRY LIKE IN ISRAEL?

It's quite small. After a few months you will know everyone. It feels like family. For 20 years there were no runway girls. Just commercial jobs. When my mother agent, Elinor Shahar, sent me overseas to do the shows and it went well, it started a wave of Isrealie show girls. Israel is a small country so when the girls do well we are very proud.

There are a few big designers. One, Alon Livne, he just did the Beyonce tour, and the designer for Lanvin, Albert Albez is Isrealie. The style is beach clothes and fine taloiring. Israel is like Australia, we don't really have a winter so that restricts the style. There is a massive vintage scene and ripped jeans and Tshirts. We dress in a in a similar way to you guys.

WHO WOULD BE YOUR THREE GUEST OF CHOICE AT A DINNER PARTY?

- Kate moss, Kurt Cobain and Andy Warhol.

IF YOU COULD GIVE THE WORLD ONE TIP...

That there is life after high school. For me being so tall and awkward at school , I felt really insecure. But that doesn't matter anymore, now it is a virtue in my career. Things get better with time and you are accepted for who you are. We develop, and become stronger, and everyone becomes more considerate and respectful.

Malgosia Bela, the ultimate 'Power Woman'

We're thrilled to have the incredible Malgosia Bela here for the Harrolds Sydney opening.
 Being the current face of Harrolds, we absolutely love that Russh caught up with her to talk all things personal in 'Power Woman.'

Read below to find out something you didn't know about this industry icon....

What is your biggest indulgence?
My biggest indulgence in general? I guess it's a great trip, that's definitely my favourite thing to do! I’ll be indulging starting the day after tomorrow when I visit Hayman Island. But if we think of indulgence as something that's not supposed to be good for you but we do it anyway... I would say my indulgence is a good wine at a great bar.

What would you choose between art and music?
Isn’t music art? I cannot imagine life without music.

What couldn’t you live without?
Music! And wine.

What is your defining personality trait?
It’s probably easier to ask somebody else. I would like to believe it’s my sense of humour, I’m very down to earth.

How would you describe your style?
Minimal, masculine, comfortable, classic.

What is your most treasured belonging?
My son.

What do you find inspiration in?
Nature and good conversation. Human exchange in general.

What is your favourite brand stocked at Harrolds?
It would be the Tom Ford outfit I wore in the campaign. Harrolds is the only store that carries Tom Ford here, so rightly so, that would be my favourite!

What do you look for in a shopping experience?
Shopping really stresses me out. It’s like when you read a 10 page menu and by the end of it you're not hungry anymore. I’m happily surprised that the Harrolds stores are compact but quite intimate, chic and beautiful.
