We've met many a model at the very start of their career… there's something special about catching someone early on, right before the chaos of new cities, back-to-back castings and shoots and a whole lot of navigating public transport.
Our latest introduction is Margo, a bright Aucklander who recently signed with Sydney agency Priscillas. A bundle of energy and genuinely good vibes, we traipsed the CBD streets one Saturday morning dressed in a rotation of Antipodean brands. After the shoot we sat down to ask Margo a few questions. Consider this your first introduction; we have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot more of her.
Name: Margo
Nickname: Margs or Margie to my family
Star Sign: Sagittarius
Where do you live and where do you call home?
I live in Tāmaki Makaurau and call Grey Lynn home.
What does your ideal day in your hometown look like?
A long sleep followed by brunch at Catroux. Everything there is so delicious. The flowers at the dairy next door are always worth a look too. A gym session, then a little shopping along Ponsonby and K'rd, especially Tattys and Paper Bag Princess. You never know what you will find. Finishing with a long, late dinner with family and friends.
What is your idea of happiness?
I think happiness for me is feeling passionate and confident about whatever you're doing.
What’s the most interesting or random thing you’ve learned recently?
I've been learning French in school, and I learned that model translates to le mannequin.
Best show/movie you've watched recently?
The Dead Poets Society. It was so, so sad, but such an amazing film!
Favourite song?
My taste is wildly eclectic. 90's hip hop is always on high rotation.
Best TikTok/meme to sum up your current mood?
Not a meme, but I think the Kate Moss quote "Awesome things happen when you choose to stop being a miserable cow" is definitely running through my head! Words to live by.
When do you feel most like 'you'?
I feel most like myself when I have a great outfit on, with my friends, and doing something fun!
What advice would you give your 12-year-old self?
Oh, there are so many things, but to sum it up, I would tell her that how others perceive you means absolutely nothing and to keep your head held high.
If you asked your friends to sum you up in three words, what would they say?
I would hope they would say that I'm kind, hardworking and fun.
What are you most looking forward to for 2026?
Doing more of this! I am absolutely loving the development process and will hopefully be Sydney side again soon!
