Oyster Magazine's 'Faces of Fashion Week' - Myf Shepherd

"I've been modelling for 7 years, it's more part-time these days. 

I do art, I have a studio in New York. It's part of a collective I started with my boyfriend, there are eleven artists in there I think, and five or six bands. 

I want to do set design eventually, my boyfriend is a set builder. He works for a company that does most Condé Nast projects, like Vogue and stuff. 

I love doing sculpture, sculptures which could be sets, then he helps me turn them it into something real."

Oyster Magazine's 'Faces of Fashion Week' - Rachel Rutt

"Right now, I'm really heavy into weaving, knitting, and embroidery. I'm part of a weavers guild, I go to a weekly night-time class at the Hand Weavers and Spinners Guild of NSW, it's a dying art form so I really want people to join.

I went to a spinning class two days ago to learn how to spin wool and I was definitely the youngest person there! Then it occurred to me how amazing it was to start so young because I have all these years to become a master.

Jedda from Desert Designs is a weaver too, we've really bonded over it and we're talking about doing something together.

Plus I've got an exhibition coming up this year too, a photography exhibition of characters and costumes I've created."

Oyster Magazine's 'Faces of Fashion Week' - Ollie Henderson

"This year's Fashion Week felt very new. Was missing a few big names but had so many emerging new talents. Di$count was a big highlight for me.

It was also very different for me this year as I was launching my new project "Start The Riot."
The aim is the get young people engaged with politics. I hand made 100 t-shirts with positive political slogans on them for people to wear during fashion week.
So on top of the usual FW antics I was also busy in my living room floor sweatshop making tees."

Our 'Role Models' share their career advice with Vogue.com.au!

Cheyenne Tozzi

What it’s really like to work with Naomi Campbell on The Face Australia: 

“I went in thinking that she has every right to act any way she wants because she’s a legend. But she was lovely to me. She was doing yoga, drinking tea and chilling out. She treated me like a really great friend.” 

Naomi’s advice to her: 

“She was very supportive. She said ‘keep your back covered and if you don’t like something, say it’.” 

Jessica Gomes

Tips for aspiring models: 

1. “It’s important to have a great support network. Surround yourself with good people. Make sure you’re communicating with your agents.” 

2. “Take your time. There’s no rush to go overseas or do things.” 

3. “Being professional, healthy and well-mannered goes a long way. Work ethic is a big part of it.”

What Megan Gale said when she was appointed a David Jones ambassador: 

“Megan was really sweet. She sent me a bunch of flowers and said ‘if you ever have any worries or you want to ask me any questions, here’s my number’.” 

Her model icons: 

Lara Stone, Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Gisele Bündchen and Megan Gale. 

Montana Cox

On the reality of the industry: 

“It’s hours of castings, staying up to four am at fittings, getting cut out 20 minutes before a show. It’s a lot more brutal than people think it is... the best thing is getting free stuff!” 

Tips for being mentally prepared: 

“You just need to think ‘it’s out of my hands’. It’s not personal. If you’re not what they wanted, someone else will think you are. Take it seriously, but not too seriously.”

How to make a career out of reality TV:

“You just need to be yourself throughout the whole process. Don’t pretend to be anything you’re not or try to make a big deal out of yourself. Don’t let all the lights and cameras get to you.”

Meet The Model: Mali, on Oystermag.com!

Mali! Our favourite Sydney-raised rainbow warrior. She starred in our Beauty Daily exactly this time last year and she's told us all about her love of Paw Paw Ointment in a Beauty One-On-One but she's yet to tell us a joke, or send us a YouTube link, right? It's about time we got to know her better.

Jerico Mandybur: Where are you from and where are you currently living?

Mali Koopman: I'm from Sydney and I currently live in Newport.

Who are five women that inspire you?

Jane Campion, Fran Lebowitz, Miranda Hart and my pals Carly and Pariss.

What's the best piece of advice you ever received?

My grandma says "Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully." I recently discovered that my grandma stole that advice from Stephen Fry but its still good advice.

What song do you really wish you'd written and why?

I wish I had written 'Jenny' by Flight of the Conchords because its such a good song I could then boast about how I'm some lyrical genius.

What's your earliest childhood memory?

Singing many Delta Goodrem and Ricky Martin songs and wanting to grow up and become a palaeontologist.

Secret skills?

I can make a swan from an apple. It's a handy skill to have.

What rules would you install if you were Supreme Leader of Earth for one day?

For one day I would make all plane flights free. 

A good joke you've heard recently?

What do you call a sheep with no legs? A cloud.

What's the best YouTube video you've ever seen?

Meet The Models: Olivia Thornton & Sarah Pauley, on Oystermag.com

"Sarah Pauley and Olivia Thornton are two babes who are joined at the hip. One's a natural red head and one dyes her hair. One's outgoing and one's a little shyer. They both love watching TVs shows in bed, hanging at the beach and drinking coffee. Sarah Rugg hung out with the BFF's and they tried on pieces from Hayley Elsaesser and House of Cards. Then we got them to talk a bit about each other."

Jerico Mandybur: Sarah, what's you first memory of Olivia? First impressions?

Sarah: I first laid eyes on Olivia Thornton in early 2011. It was a cool day I remember, a mild yet windy 18 degrees. We had just jumped off a plane in Melbourne and were in a taxi to the LMFF fittings! I hated Olivia at first! She was outspoken and had some very witty things to say! I thought to myself, "Who is this girl, she shouldn't have all this confidence!" Haha obviously my thoughts have changed slightly since that day!

Olivia: I remember being mildly terrified as I hadn't been modelling for long and didn't know anyone I was about to spend the week with. At first, I was taken by Sarah's height, and also heartened by the fact she seemed to be about the same age as me. Our first encounter was when we got chatting backstage during a break in shows and she asked to come back to my hotel room to do a wee. We got a pizza on the way, cooked it in my apartment and bonded pretty much straight away!

What do you guys like doing for fun?

We live together, so every day is like a teenage sleepover, in which silly shenanigans (twerking, speaking to each other in foreign accents) ensue. Even though we have separate rooms sometimes we end up chilling out in bed together watching films and laughing at dumb shit on the internet. We're more or less a married couple. We also can't go past a good weekend boogie. We're also big fans of the beach, lazing in the sunshine, going on long treks together and hanging out with our gang of boy mates and watching lots of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations in our friend Mitch's bedroom.

 Any favourite hang out spots or things you like to do?

We live close to Sydney's Redleaf beach, which is definitely a staple hang out spot, along with Mary St Cafe in Surry Hills with our other lady pals.  

What's the weirdest/funniest thing the other person has said?

Olivia: Sarah says a lot of hilarious shit but I think the other day she asked me if John Lennon was "that politician that was assassinated." 

Sarah: Olivia has an obsession with relating real life scenarios back to The Simpsons. I swear she's watched every episode made!

Olivia: You better believe that's a paddlin'.

What's the smartest thing the other person has said?

Olivia: Sarah always tells me to date nice guys for once. 

Sarah: This girl is so intellectual. She is always quoting articles she reads on the internet so I'm always learning new things everyday! 

Any annoying habits that you'd like to call the other person out for?

Olivia: I always leave a bunch of clothes behind when I go overseas, and Sarah likes to raid them and claim them as her own! But I don't really mind.

Sarah: She never runs for the bus! The amount of times I've ran and made it and she is taking her sweet time walking! She never runs! I won't talk to her till the next bus comes. Or maybe the fact she starts every sentence with "I read this article the other day..." I mean how true are all these articles on Buzzfeed m8?

What's the best thing about being redheads?

Olivia: I'm not a true redhead, so I can't answer that question with complete accuracy, but I'll say the best thing would be having the potential to look like Sarah.

Sarah: I am the true redhead, she tries to copy me! I love standing out and copping redhead jokes all the time i.e 'Fanta Pants' and 'Ranga.' 

If your friendship was a song, what would it be?

Olivia: 'Friends' - Band Of Skulls

Sarah: 'We Can't Stop' - Miley Cyrus

Meet The Model: Simone Holtznagel, on Oystermag.com

"Simone Holtznagel is one interesting gal. She started out on Australia's Next Top Model, she narrowly missed out on playing Anna Nicole Smith in that one biopic, plus she's really good at Twitter. We caught up with her recently for an impromptu polaroid shoot, featuring Di$count, Bitching & Junk Food, Kato, Georgia Alice and Happy Socks". 

Where did you grow up? 

In Wollongong…No judgement.

When was the last time you cried laughing? 

Last week when my best friend Madge and I were in Sax Fetish, the shop on Oxford Street, looking for Pretty Woman boots for Halloween and there was a butt plug with a horse tail attached.  

Can you tell us about auditioning for the Anna Nicole Smith movie? 

It was sad because I got so into the role of playing her and had my heart set on it then I didn't get it. I still remember most of my lines. It was my first massive audition and I was one of the only gals in Oz they wanted to see, so that was nice to know. I know it would have been a long shot for little old me to get it. But yeah :(

What did you have to do to prepare? 

I took a heap of prescription drugs. Kidding! I just watched lots of old interviews in my best double denim combo and talked with a Texan accent for a week.

If you had to start a band with 5 people, dead or alive, who would you pick? 

Steven Tyler, Lana Del Ray, Lorde, Harry Styles and my bestie Madge. 

What did you want to be when you grew up? 

A cat or a nudist. 

What's the weirdest un-filmed moment that happened in the ANTM house in 2011? 

It was probably when we saw 5 hot dudes on our private beach, and we went and hung out with them for the afternoon. After being stuck in the house with just girls, it was a welcome distraction! 

If you had unlimited resources to throw a party, what would it look like? 

It would look like a scene out of Great Gatsby meets Project X.

What's the most inspiring book you've ever read? 

Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl — sounds weird because it's about stealing pheasants, but it reminds me of my childhood and I just love it SO much. Either that, or 50 Shades of Grey.
