Geelong’s Elodie Russell is one of Australia’s hottest new faces on the international modelling scene. She speaks with GC’s NOEL MURPHY about her burgeoning career.
GC: Where did you first start modelling?
ER: I was discovered two years ago when I got signed with my first agency, Chadwick Models, and I’ve been modelling ever since.
GC: What was your first big break?
ER: When I entered the Dolly Model Search I was fortunate enough to be announced as the Victorian finalist. I was then offered a modelling contract from Chadwick and it all started from there.
GC: Who have you modelled for in recent times? What magazines, what labels, events?
ER: I recently appeared in Elle Australia August issue as one of the upcoming models in Australia. I’ve also been announced as one of the faces of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week for this year.
GC: How old are you right now?
ER: I’m 16, turning 17 at the end of this year.
GC: How do you work school and modelling together?
ER: I’m currently doing online schooling, which benefits my career as I can do what I love (modelling) and it will also benefit me down the track when modelling is no longer an option.
GC: Have you lived in Geelong all your life?
ER: Born and raised!
