Check out the latest controversial photoshoot of Zippora Seven from Russh Magazine in the gallery here.
Bonjour!
Ever since the Lost Youth issue of Pavement Magazine, her face has stood out.
Zippora Vermillion Rose Seven is New Zealand's answer to Kate Moss. Just reaching 5'6", she is lapping up the pages of Lucire, Pulp, Frankie, Pages Online, Pavement and best of all French Vogue! After the Pavement shoot (her first) her career had begun.
Two years on from that shoot she has done numerous amounts of editorial work that features in the magazines (above) and worked for designers such as Something Else, Kate Sylvester, Trelise Cooper, Ruby, Sera Lilly and many more.
She has walked at Air New Zealand Fashion Week for Stolen Girlfriends Club and Nom D.
Zippora, who is 16 and lives in Auckland, belongs to Auckland modelling agency, Red Eleven Models & Talent.
She also belongs to Priscilla's Models in Australia.
Zippora's favourite things are her boyfriend Scott AKA Kudaranee (lead singer of band The DHDFD's), her little brother Cisco, her cat and her mum and dad. She thinks when you start travelling (as she does a lot of now) you find the things you love the most.
Zippora was scouted at a fair by Amanda Betts (owner of Red Eleven). Before that she had never thought of modelling. She never brushed her hair, she was short and she looked like she had come out of some crazy 60s movie! She didn't even like fashion that much, except for dressing up. She wanted to be a vet or a marine biologist. But now she is in the industry she knows what she really loves and she loves what she does.
The best modelling job so far for Zippora has been French Vogue. For a Kiwi Model that is amazing! Zippora and her brother, Jasper's (who did the French Vogue shoot with her) model cards were given to Bruce Weber (French Vogue Photographer) at a New Zealand Abercrombie & Fitch casting. Then were booked for the entire November issue is a Bruce Weber special! The Shoot took place in the Hamptons earlier last year.
According to Runway Reporter, Jasper and Zippora got to hang out with uber-model, Lily Donaldson.
French Vogue Editorial:
Despite being called New Zealand's Kate Moss, Zippora thinks they are very different, apart from both being successful short models. She thinks they will have to meet and then she can decide :-) The Worst thing about modelling for Zippora is the Travel. But the best thing about modelling for her is the Travel too, it has its benefits and disadvantages.
Zippora has also scored many stylist jobs on her shoots as well as being the model. She was guest stylist in Pulp Magazine last year. She has excellent style (I think) and Runway Reporter have named her 'one of the best dressed models on the scene'. Zippora hates shopping. But she loves it. She loves it when she is driving up some lonely country road and spots a little shop in the middle of nowhere, she thinks those are the best and cheapest shops of all.
An average day for Zippora is getting up early, going to shoot, coming home and sleeping. Also she could be running round all day with her map book falling apart, searching for some dirty side street going to one casting after another. But she finds it fun and thinks it's great exercise!
When she is not booked up with modelling she is sight seeing (if in another country) or spending time with friends or family.
Zippora sums herself up as quiet, very quiet. Also small, happy (she is always happy) and mature. Her hidden habits include biting her nails (she is trying to stop) and changing her clothes at least twice a day.
So what's next for this uber-cool model? Japan. She is going to Japan in Spring and is in Paris at the moment.
To me, models are superior almost a different species. But meeting Zippora last year and seeing a girl from the magazine in front of your eyes it started to come clear. I am still struggling today to realise that models are normal people. Models are normal people, just with amazing beauty and style.
