What better to create a casting domino effect than say-so from <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/Steven-Meisel\">Steven Meisel<\/a>? We only just laid eyes on <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/vaughan-ollier\">Vaughan Ollier<\/a> when Marc Jacobs rolled out their <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/marc-jacobs-runway-spring-2020-marc-jacobs\">Spring\/Summer Meisel-shot campaign<\/a> before seeing her again <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/vera-wang-vera-wang-springsummer-2020-advertising-campaign\/1282381\">in Vera Wang<\/a> (this time with <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/Inez-van-Lamsweerde-and-Vinoodh-Matadin\">Inez and Vinoodh<\/a>). Flash forward to New York Fashion Week where it would appear that word has also traveled. The model was spotted not only <a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/work\/anna-sui-anna-sui-fw-20-show\/1284489\">opening Anna Sui, but closing it, too<\/a>. Add in noteworthy runway turns for <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/vera-wang\">Vera Wang<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/sies-marjan\">Sies Marjan<\/a> and it appears she\u2019s got that special something. We wanted to know more about the sensation of a sudden come-up. <\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<p><strong>Vaughan on being Vaughan<\/strong><br \/>\nHi! I\u2019m half Australian and half American by way of Dallas, Texas. My family and I traveled back and forth a ton so I pretty much grew up in two VERY different places\u2026 and hemispheres.  I was discovered walking around the mall on my birthday with friends in Dallas. I accidentally pushed into a woman outside a store\u2013\u2013she turned out to be the owner of a modeling agency and asked me to come in for a meeting. Before that, I was in school double-majoring in cultural studios and sociology. Once I finished University in Australia I wanted to try out modeling and see what type of creative side I hadn\u2019t yet tapped into. <\/p>\n<p><strong>On the experience of opening and closing Anna Sui<\/strong><br \/>\nHonestly it felt surreal. I really did not even know that was possible on a show! Working with Anna and the team was everything. She is such a kind, creative person who makes you feel good just by being around her. To say it was an honor to open and close her show is an extreme understatement. I don\u2019t think there are appropriate words to be honest! Phenomenal? Extraordinary? Miraculous? I do have a deep, special love of vampires and old Hollywood drama SO getting to embody this collection made it even more special.  When I was a kid I\u2019d watch the old black and white Dracula played by Bela Lugosi so it felt like I was re-enacting one of those old films.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On what caught her off guard during her first fashion week<\/strong><br \/>\nI mean, probably getting to open and close Anna Sui. Even just typing that out feels surreal. It came and went so quickly I wish I could relive it. But\u2026also getting to see so much behind the scenes action, looks from the designers at fittings, et cetera. It\u2019s always exciting to see such a crucial part of the creative process. <\/p>\n<p><strong>On what she&#8217;s learned being on set with Steven Meisel and Inez and Vinoodh<\/strong><br \/>\nAt first I really wondered what it would be like to work with Steven, and Inez and Vinoodh. They are icons in the industry\u2013\u2013all so creative and empowering. I really learned just to be myself and enjoy the moment. Never have I felt more free spirited than when shooting with Steven, or more confident than with Inez and Vinoodh. When we are on set shooting I just let go. I\u2019ve been so lucky that everyone I have worked with is so incredible and I think I just reflect the electricity and energy that they give me!<\/p>\n<p><strong>On what she&#8217;s doing while writing to us<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat am I doing? Lying on my couch, shoes off, music playing, heavily-feathered makeup still perfectly intact from Vera Wang\u2019s show this morning\u2026taking a small break from the craziness in the world before I have to jet somewhere else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2020\/02\/130578--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(and more) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":130584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10414,2],"tags":[7562,10544,403,12535,2042],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130578"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130578"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":145375,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130578\/revisions\/145375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/130584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
