It helps to have friends in high places — just ask Zoe Colivas. She got her start as a model when she was 13 because her friend’s mother owned an agency, Sutherland Models. “I was too young at the time, but when I got older and started to talk to other agencies, I ended up going back to her. I just got a good vibe,” says the Toronto native, now 16 and still with Sutherland, her mother agency. From her enviable brows to a wise-beyond-her-years eloquence, it’s easy to see what puts Colivas in such high demand — and why she snagged a Prada exclusive in her debut season for spring 2013. Still living in Toronto, Colivas played hooky from high school last week to visit her New York agency, DNA Models. She made time in between castings and math homework for a phone chat with WWD. nike high heels
WWD: Tell me how this Prada exclusive came about.
Zoe Colivas: I was working in Toronto, just doing editorials and Toronto Fashion Week, which is not exactly New York Fashion Week. I heard that I was an option for Prada, but a lot of girls are an option. When I got to Milan, it was talked about, but nothing is ever for sure in this industry.
WWD: How did you officially find out that you were cast?
Z.C.: I walked into the agency in Milan, and everyone was screaming. The casting director was really excited for me, especially because I was so excited. cheap nike shox
WWD: What was backstage like at the show?
Z.C.: There were a lot of girls, which I never really thought about — how many girls there are. The night before I had my fitting, and I was there until 5:30 in the morning. The day was really exciting, with people rushing around. [To get to the runway], there was this huge line up these stairs, and I was so nervous, especially with the shoes.
WWD: What about the shoes?
Z.C.: They were big platform sandals, but not the ones with the socks. They were actually very comfortable. Some girls had the platforms with the socks, and some had just socks. I didn’t hear anybody complaining.
WWD: Did you get star-struck at all during the experience?
Z.C.: When I’m walking down the runway, I don’t see anyone. You’re in this weird tunnel. My dad always asks, “Did you see anyone that you knew [when you were walking]?” I’m like, “Dad, I didn’t look around to see if I knew anyone.” nike dunk sb
WWD: Has it been difficult to balance school and work?
Z.C.: I go to a regular public school, so normally that would be hard to balance, but my teachers basically made a program around me and what I do. I’ve made them a part of it all, so they understand why I miss school. They have been really helpful.
WWD: Did you have any homework to do while you were in New York this week?
Z.C.: I had to do an art project — drawing three still objects. I drew scissors, nail polish and I still have to make a new one. It’s kind of a work in progress. I also had some math homework, but other than that I’ve been just watching “Gossip Girl” in the model apartment.
WWD: Do you know when you’ll be back in New York again?
Z.C.: [My agency] said that I’m an option for a couple of things, but I haven’t been told what those are yet. I’m heading home now to do some school and to celebrate Christmas. Now that I think about it, fashion week is around the corner. It feels like the last one just ended. I guess I should start getting ready. cheap nike dunks
It’s an irritatingly clichéd moniker, especially in the fashion business, but there’s nothing else to call Manon Leloup but a bona-fide “It” girl. Perhaps it’s her long, swanlike neck or maybe her bushy, albeit perfectly groomed, brows. Or maybe it’s that arresting French gamine mystique she radiates that has designers mad for Leloup. Signing with Wilhelmina mere weeks before the most recent New York collections castings, the Croix native’s rise was fast and furious, making her one of the most talked about faces of the spring season almost instantly. With 20 shows under her belt (nearly all on the ultraelite, ultraexclusive ?end of the spectrum — Celine, Jil Sander, Alexander McQueen, etc.), Leloup is ?no doubt destined for impressive editorial work ?and then, campaigns. nike dunk heels
But enough about her modeling career. Leloup has another talent (some girls have all the luck). As it turns out, the 20-year-old is proving herself quite the accomplished photographer. During the spring collections her favorite accessory was an old-school Nikon FM, which she wore slung around her neck as she ran from show to show, where she documented her backstage journey from New York through Paris. Here, she shares her pictures with WWD.
WWD: How long have you had that camera?
Manon Leloup: I actually got this from my grandma. It’s a hand-me-down. It’s very, very old. This camera has been around the world like two times already. It’s manual, which is what I like and I just use the simple Kodak film that everybody was using before [everything] was digitized. nike dunk high
WWD: When did you first get into photography?
M.L.: Well, my grandma gave me this camera when I was 11 and I’m 20 now, so nine years ago. I have digital cameras, too, but they’re bigger and during fashion week you don’t want to carry around any extra weight. I’m also more partial to analogue because everybody’s doing digital.
WWD: Another obvious difference is that with digital you have unlimited takes.
M.L.: Exactly. When you’re shooting analogue, you can’t do “click, click, click, click.” You think about what you’re shooting more. Also, in New York, I only had two rolls that I bought before I came here so I used those in New York and Milan. Then when I got back to my apartment in Paris, I looked everywhere for more film. I practically ransacked the place and found two more rolls. I definitely think the pictures are more thought-through with film because it’s so much more precious than digital. Nike Dunks
WWD: And you have the suspense of not seeing the result instantly.
M.L.: Yes, I was so excited to get them developed. That’s the magic of analogue, you ?discover later. I remember when I got the pictures back, ?I was sitting on my sofa with ?my boyfriend and I was like, ‘I’m looking first.’ I wanted to make sure they looked good before he could see.
WWD: What made you think of taking photos to chronicle your fashion season?
M.L.: For me, it seems natural to take pictures. I don’t understand why more models don’t take them during fashion week. I was having my first experience of fashion week and I was like, maybe this will never happen again so I want to capture everything I can.
