INTERVIEW
BY SACHA STREBE FOR PONY RYDER
———
Q: You’ve been tagged by local media as the `next big thing’ . How does it feel?
MEGAN IRWIN: I’m so flattered! It’s all so surreal to me.
Q: You were cast in the coveted David Jones Autumn Winter 13 launch show recently – were you nervous?
MEGAN IRWIN: I think a little nerves are always good and healthy but I was more excited than anything 🙂
Q: You also personally met VS super, Miranda Kerr backstage – what was she like?
MEGAN IRWIN: She was lovely, It was so great getting to meet her.
Q: Be honest, did you practice your walk knowing you’d be strutting the same runway as Kerr?
MEGAN IRWIN: Haha… No I didn’t, it honestly didn’t enter my mind that she would even be there.
Q: Your skin is flawless, not to mention your fabulous thick locks – spill your beauty secrets?
MEGAN IRWIN: Thank you 🙂 I believe in clean healthy eating, drinking 2-3 litres of water a day and the benefits from goji berries, chai seeds and coconut oil.
Also I never sleep with makeup on!
As I am always having my hair done, on my days off I always leave my hair natural- that means no blow dry, no straighter just a little Moroccan oil.
Q: Do you remember your first shoot?
MEGAN IRWIN: It was a really fun day! My mum and sister were there with me which made me feel really comfortable. I remember being quite nervous and really excited at the same time.
Q: How did you start modelling?
MEGAN IRWIN: I didn’t really “start” I kind of just fell into it and I’ve never looked back 🙂
Q: Your mum is gorgeous, has anyone from your family ever modeled?
MEGAN IRWIN: Mum did some modelling back in her hay-day. My sister was a model, it used to be so much fun when we got to work together but now she puts all her time and energy into her fashion label KIRSTY IRWIN.

Q: Despite being a `fresh face’ to the industry, you already have a Fashion Spot thread – how does it feel to already be known internationally without barely stepping outside Australia?
MEGAN IRWIN: After only a few stints overseas already, I can’t believe the overwhelming response internationally.
Q: Are you friends with any other Australian models?
MEGAN IRWIN: I have worked with many beautiful Aussie girls that I have formed great friendships with.
Q: Who is your favourite Australian model/why?
MEGAN IRWIN: It’s so hard to choose a favourite, there are so many amazingly talented Australian models.
I really look up to Elle Macpherson and Miranda Kerr… and not to mention I think Bambi’s a massive babe!

MEGAN IRWIN: Any?.. Any in the world?… Defiantly Chanel!
Q: What’s your typical casting outfit?
MEGAN IRWIN: I love to wear comfortable staples, something that shows your figure and your personality. Comfort is key!
