Nadia Kishlan: A Singaporean in Marc by Marc Jacobs SS15 campaign
updated the 28 August 2015 à 16:39Marc Jacobs took it to Instagram to scout 11 fresh faces for their SS15 campaign. Singaporean Nadia Kishlan made the cut and talks to Marie France Asia how this all came to be.
Marc By Marc Jacobs designers Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley trusted Instagram to scout 11 models for the brand’s Spring Summer 2015 campaign (read all the details here). Shot by David Sims and styled by Katie Grand, the result is a fashion spread which is an apt representation of the MMJ style: fresh and funky.
What’s in it for us? Well, one of the 11 faces to be chosen was Singapore’s Nadia Kishlan, who is no stranger to the local fashion, design and arts scene. Nadia was already a locally known it-girl had featured in campaigns for local designers MashUp and most recently Yesah.
But as the MMJ campaign is global – this was Nadia’s first international gig. Marie France Asia caught up with the talented – and may we say unconventional – beauty to see what she has to say.
Marie France Asia: How does it feel being one of the selected 11?
Marie France Asia: How does the brand Marc by Marc Jacobs speak to your own personal style?
Marie France Asia: How did the shooting in New York go? How was working with David Sims and his professional team?
Marie France Asia: Why did you join the competition and what did you learn from your experience?
Nadia Kishlan: I came across the ad in an Australian magazine, Oyster. I was really curious, so why not? I didn’t expect too much from it; I was hopeful, but not too hopeful. I guess what I got from it is to never underestimate yourself and never see yourself short no matter what people say. You never know what your potentials are.
