BYO: How long have you been modelling for?

NICOLA: About 4 years.

BYO: What drew you to Modelling, How did you get your start?

NICOLA: From a young age, my sister would create garments for me to wear, and we’d have a fun time taking photos. I then got business cards on the street, suggesting I join their agency. I walked into an agency and was signed.

BYO: What do you do when you’re not modelling?

NICOLA: I run a venue space in Melbourne ‘Converted Church’. It’s a beautiful old church building primarily used for shoots and films.

BYO: What has been the Highlight of your modelling career so far?

NICOLA: Modelling Casio Sheen Swarovski watches for a Japanese commercial was my first big job. I then landed a couple TV commercials in Australia. Last season I had the chance to walk for shows during London and Paris Fashion weeks. Last weekend I was on the cover of ‘The Age’ Spectrum and ‘Sunday Morning Herald’ Newspapers, a very happy moment.

BYO: Describe your personal style.

NICOLA: I dress unisex. I wear mostly masculine pieces, and style them in a feminine and sexy way.
