Model MEGHAN COLLISON
MEGHAN COLLISON: Yes I will be doing a few shows this season.
PONY RYDER: And where is your Supreme showcard?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I was in school when the Supreme show card was shot. I really thought this seasons show package was beautiful.
PONY RYDER: So are you modeling full time, or did you start going to college?
MEGHAN COLLISON: Now I’m back to modeling full time, but last September I took some time too myself to study psychology and a few other courses.
PONY RYDER: What is the most important thing in your life right now?
MEGHAN COLLISON: The people I love <3
MEGHAN COLLISON: I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
MEGHAN COLLISON: I was scouted at a model search held by Kelly Streit and Mode models. I came in first place and with that I won a contract with the agency.
MEGHAN COLLISON: No… If someone told me two years ago that this is what I’d be doing I wouldn’t have believed them.
MEGHAN COLLISON: In high school I had a close group of friends that I stuck with. I was quite shy, but got along with everyone.
MEGHAN COLLISON: I think it is more important for a model to be recognizable. You have to have something that stands out from the crowd or else you get lost among it.
As far as versatility, I don’t really think a model has much control over that. One definition of versatility is the capability of moving freely in all directions.
We don’t decide the styling, what we wear, the makeup, the hair, or the image being selected.
MEGHAN COLLISON: No I don’t believe in tanning. It does nothing for the skin, but cause sun damage and premature aging. I think there is nothing wrong with being really pale! Take Baz Luhrman’s advice: “Wear Sunscreen, If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it”.
MEGHAN COLLISON: The sunscreen that i use is Neutrogena Sunblock, Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch The SPF i use changes depending on the weather.
MEGHAN COLLISON: That was an amazing photoshoot. It took a day to cover our bodies in tattoos.
PONY RYDER: Did you meet the other models at that shoot?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I did meet the other models at the shoot, including Kinga and Lara. Everyone was so sweet!
MEGHAN COLLISON: Hmmm well Im 5’11 so maybe 😉
MEGHAN COLLISON: I was compared to Freja and Querelle Jansen.
MEGHAN COLLISON: Ohhh high heels. I have a love-hate relationship with them haha. I never really wore high heels before modeling because I felt like I was too tall as it was.
PONY RYDER: Who taught you how to do runway walk?
MEGHAN COLLISON: My agency is the one that taught me how to runway walk.
MEGHAN COLLISON: I really like Alexander Wang. All his clothes I just love.
MEGHAN COLLISON: This really tough question to answer…probably the one from Vogue Italia: I look at this photo and am amazed at how transformed they made me. The makeup , the hair, the tattoos, and the colors are amazing.
MEGHAN COLLISON: No I haven’t really noticed a different treatment. which is good.
PONY RYDER: What about bookings, do you get booked directly or you have to do castings as well?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I do go to castings and occasionally get directly booked, so a little bit of both i guess.
PONY RYDER: Do you like to shot more editorials where you are all edgy or the ones where you are all glamorous like for example when Craig McDean shot you for W?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I like to do both. Its always fun to wear a pretty dress and then the next day rock out a leather coat haha.
MEGHAN COLLISON: One of the great things about beauty is that it is subjective. Some people will love a model while others won’t get it. As long as you are comfortable with who you are, it shouldn’t matter what other people think of you. Life is too short.
MEGHAN COLLISON: My personal style is quite dark. Most of my wardrobe is black but i am trying to make an effort to wear a little more color.
PONY RYDER: Do you have a favorite style item that you own?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I have a pair of Anna Sui boots that I love. I also own so many pairs of black jeans, can’t go wrong with that! I also have this tank top that is half baby blue and half pink that was given to me by my mother. She used to wear it when she was a teenager.
MEGHAN COLLISON: Go to the gym and eat healthy.
PONY RYDER: How do you mentain your skin (products)?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I make sure I drink lots of water and exfoliate regularly. I really like Neostrata skin care products.
PONY RYDER: Any beauty advice you know of…
MEGHAN COLLISON: Everything in moderation and stay out of the sun!
PONY RYDER: Are there some make up products that are always with you?
MEGHAN COLLISON: When I do wear makeup I like to use MAC studiofix powder. Other things that I carry with me are cherry lip balm, mascara, and a black eye liner pencil.
PONY RYDER: What did you learn from make up artist you worked with?
MEGHAN COLLISON: How to do winged eyeliner. It’s so hard to do though! I still need a little more practice with it before I leave the house with it on.
PONY RYDER: Favorite fragrance?
MEGHAN COLLISON: My boyfriend bought me Dior Hypnotic Poison for Christmas which I have been wearing recently.
MEGHAN COLLISON: My favorite film is probably American Beauty because of the memories I have attached to it. I used to never really watch films but lately i have seen more. I usually like comedies or thrillers. Just as long as it has an good plot that can hold my interest for 2 hours im good ( I’ve been told I have a short attention span from my friends haha )
PONY RYDER: Did you? 🙂 Do you love music?
MEGHAN COLLISON: I love music, everywhere I go I make sure I pack my Ipod.
MEGHAN COLLISON: Everyone looks good when they smile!
