LOS ANGELES: West Hollywood
Australia has been invading Hollywood for quite some time already. The momentum of the invasion has moved into the fashion world as hundreds of long legged beauties set sail (via Airbus and Boeing) to the USA for modeling careers. With cute accents and killer looks, the new generation of red hot model babes is moderately making their nation’s mark into the us fashion modeling market. Eliza Ward is one such beauty who recently relocate from Sydney to Los Angeles in order to further her career.
“Los Angeles, where I am currently based, has been the first move for me in my career. I just finished high school last year, so having a bit more freedom at the moment. I now have the chance to travel and see the world! I have seen a lot of this country so far for work, Las Vegas, Ohio, San Francisco etc. And I also just got back from the British Virgin Islands!”
Where she is from and how she began her career:
“I am from Sydney, Australia. I began modelling at a young age, I think I landed my first beauty spread in Dolly magazine at the age of fifteen. Then signed to EMG models in Sydney.”
Traveling and living arrangements:
“When I first came out here I was put in a model apartment, something very convenient for international girls as we tend to not know many people out here. I mean, I literally knew no one out here when I first moved. But now I’m in this incredible apartment in Beverly Hills with the greatest roommates that I’ve met in my time here. Generally, if a model decides to travel somewhere else, a good decision would be to get put in a model apartment. I might be travelling to Miami soon for a month or two and I will stay in the model apartment there.”
Magazines published in so far:
“Dolly Mag in Australia, Institute, Tracks Magazine, OK Australia Magazine. I do a lot more e-commerce work though.”
Fashion brands worked with so far:
“I’ve worked with Abercrombie & Fitch, Hautelook, Tobi, GoJane, Lisa Ho, Pandora, Glue Store, Incu Clothing and Country Road.”
Favorite places for work while modeling:
“Los Angeles has been a dream. It’s a long long way from home, but I love that there are beautiful beaches and wonderful surroundings that can still give me that piece of home! I enjoyed San Francisco too. Next stop, NYC.”
Weekly diet:
“My diet changes every now and then, I like experimenting! But usually during the week days I become strict and have oatmeal or greek yogurt and granola for breakfast. Lunch would be rice cakes or low fat yogurt again with fruit. And dinner usually consists of lots of veggies and some protein like eggs, or the occasional fish. I don’t eat much meat but I try to, in order to keep me going and my iron levels balanced. The weekends are my time to live carefree and have fun with friends. I’ll eat out and have a nice fresh sandwich and go out for dinner and have Italian food – and of course, some ice cream to finish off my weekend!”
Exercise routine:
“I work out five days a week, and the first thing I do when I get to the gym is walk for a good half an hour on a high incline. then I’ll do light weights, the pull down machine and different ab routines! I like to hike and go swimming in the ocean as well! Outdoor activities are something I love to do on the weekends with friends!”
Favorite alcoholic or non alcoholic beverage:
“I’ve never been a huge drinker, so I’m never fussed. However, I did have the most amazing cocktail in the Virgin Islands the other week, it was called a ‘Pain Killer’, it was incredible.”
Favorite designers:
“I have a huge love for Dior. I have the most amazing, one of a kind dress that I will cherish for the rest of my life. I also love For Love And Lemons. I think every line they have done has been unique and luring. Then I love my vintage shopping of course.”
Favorite things about modeling:
“Traveling to new and exciting places, Meeting wonderful people, The clothes, The fun, The passion.”
Least favorite things about modeling:
“Feeling like a small fish in a big pond! Very competitive industry.”
Film or movies as part of the career:
“Perhaps acting, I’ve always wanted to get into it. I did a commercial out here and loved doing it. I did a little bit back home so we’ll see!”
Personal hobbies or attributes:
“I’ve been learning guitar and I wanna start a rock n roll band. Who’s joining?! Another thing about me is I love trying new things. I’m quite adventurous!”
