Layla90 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I find another article about Catherine, with more informations about her than in the article in "New York Times"!!!AS soon as the influential New York Times tags a model "the one to watch" and the same girl goes on to shine in 35 runway shows in Paris and Milan, she is definitely a star on the rise.Seventeen-year-old Australian model Catherine McNeil has been already swept up in the uber model world after her first season on the fashion-show circuit. Looking wholesome and romantic, Catherine has captured a new, more glamorous zeitgeist. And it's unlike the wide-set-eyed alien look personified and made famous by the other Aussie cutie, Gemma Ward. Catherine, who hails from the Queensland suburb of Logan, had aspirations to be a mechanic, but chances are she has made more money in three weeks than she would have from her aborted three-year apprenticeship. "I didn't really like school, so I had plans to be a mechanic because I really love machines,'' the heavy metal-loving teen told me yesterday from New York. "I started modelling when I won the 2003 Girlfriend Magazine Model Search while I was still at school. "I lived between Brisbane and the Gold Coast and I came down to Sydney for Fashion Week and some advertising campaigns.'' At the start of 2006 Catherine decided to refocus her life and move to Sydney with the Chic model agency. She appeared in campaigns for Zimmerman, Cue, Simona, Alannah Hill, Myer, Colorado and Myer as well as appearing in editorials for Vogue, Harper's and Madison. "This January, I went with my grandmother to New York to meet with the agency, Next, and soon after I was flown to Paris to meet with (revered photographer) Mario Testino,'' Catherine said. "I've been travelling so much my four-year-old sister thinks I live at the airport.'' Mario booked Catherine immediately for D&G and Hugo Boss campaigns and put her under a six-month exclusive editorial contract. It was then off to Milan, where she made her international catwalk debut to work runway shows for Roberto Cavalli, Etro, Pucci, Versace and Fendi before heading to Paris for Dior, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, Chanel and Balenciaga. Phew! "It became a bit of blur doing so many shows, but if there was one designer I really liked wearing it was Stella McCartney,'' Catherine said. Catherine was also the first model to appear on Riccardo Tisci's show for Givenchy, one of the Paris season's hottest tickets. "I live for that girl,'' boasted Lauren Goodman, the fashion director of Conde Nast's Domino magazine, a sentiment embraced by Brana Wolf of US Harper's Bazaar. "She's so different from the Russians,'' Ms Wolf told the New York Times. "She's tall, for one thing, and at the moment there's a tall-girl trend, and Ms McNeil also walks well,'' Ms Wolf added. Just watch out for more of Our Catherine. source:http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,,21352375-5009160,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenzoD Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 She reminds me so much of a cross between Erin Wasson and Angelina Jolie, especially here:http://img122.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0...herinemcpk5.jpgI'm still on the fence with her. Sometimes she can look very, very striking and gorgeous, but other times I find her slitty eyes/heavy jaw combination to be bothersome. I look forward to more of her work in the future.

betterrory Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Happy that another aussie model has broken into fashion. Shes following in the footsteps of gemma ward and nicole trunfio. However, although she is beautiful, i dont think she takes very good pictures. Shes great on the catwalk (although a bit too thin, she was bigger before) but seeing her appear in australia fashion mags like vogue and harpers, she doesnt know how to take a beautiful picture like nicole or gemma, so she needs to work on that. Look forward to see her in uk vogue with mario testino. Maybe he will bring out the model in her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
