Opinion
Modelling isn't all being pampered, putting on nice clothes and pouting in front of a camera. It requires work - especially during fashion week. But what exactly DO models do during that period of time? I asked two top New Zealand models travelling to Sydney for MBFWA to keep aniPhone-photo-fashion-week-diary to show us exactly what goes on over that busy period. Here are the results.

How many MBFWA's you've done?: None. This will be my first! How many shows you think you've booked?: 6 Best thing that has happened so far at MBFWA?: Theres a chance that I will get to hold a 2.5 metre albino python in one of my shows! Which i'm nervous and excited about! What are the three most important things a model needs during fashion week?: iphone + iphone charging case (can they just count as one?) a good book or magazine, and a good attitude... and snacks haha.
Name: Ella Verberne Instagram: @ellaverberne Age: 19 Agency: Clyne in New Zealand, IMG Models in Australia How many MBFWA's you've done?: 1 How many shows you think you've booked?: 12 Best thing that has happened so far at MBFWA?: The amazing outfit I'm wearing at Swarovski- it's an incredible jumpsuit covered in crystals. And daylight savings ends the day before fashion week starts - helps with those early mornings! (I found out that I have a 5am call time- that means a 4am wakeup!!!) What are the three most important things a model needs during fashion week?: Food, water, Berocca, coffee, makeup remover, a good book, sleep... the list goes on!
It’s been an Onslow signature menu item since day one. Now, Josh Emett’s famous crayfish eclair has clawed its way into the Iconic Auckland Eats Top 100 list. Video / Alyse Wright
