GREED

新模輩出又一發, 被這發打得體無完膚遍體鱗傷,
剛看到Conor時覺得他好像BBC影集Merlin的亞瑟王Bradley James,
又像英國男模Thomas Penfound, UK出廠品質保證.

可能不是很明顯但他有牙縫, 講話的時候超可愛!
 
Conor在去年16歲時就出道了, 沒錯今年正值芳齡17!

花一般的年紀啊!(以及長相)

Boys By Girls Lessons "What My Parents Taught Me"
(Photographer Cecilie Harris)

(很喜歡這組Cecilie Harris在Conor家拍的照片)

去年夏天才16歲的Conor拿下Elite Model Look 2012, 正式開始他的模特生涯,
走遍Burberry, John Galliano, Kenzo, Valentino, Topman這些大牌子的伸展台,
不過Conor到底是個teenager, 一些backstage的影片還是能看到他私下可愛的一面.

 
贏得Elite Model Look 2012的訪問(Boys By Girls)
I'm Conor Doherty, I'm 16 and I'm from West London.

You've just won Elite Model Look 2012! How did you end up in the competition?
I was scouted by a guy doing an internship at Elite Models London, so I was really lucky.
And then I ended up winning, which I'm still half in shock about.
At the start I was quite nervous, but I'm really getting into it now.
(現在那個實習生發了吧!!! 挖到寶啊!!!)

 
How are you feeling about starting this journey as a model?
It's so different to what I'd usually do.
I was never really into fashion or modelling, but now that I'm sort of wrapped up in it, it's really fun.
I'd really love to travel to New York, Paris and Tokyo and wherever modelling would take me.
(果然是小孩, 根本不在乎時尚或是模特職業, 純粹想開開眼界.)

How has your first few weeks of modelling been like?
I've shot with Rankin for Hunger Magazine, shot of Hero Magazine and also done catwalk shows.
And of course Boys by Girls.

What do you do in your spare time?
I do sports, like football and rugby.

Are you good?
I used to be quite good at football.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Subways! I love Subways. In the last week I've probably eaten at least 50 inches of subway. But that's gotta stop now though, cause I need to get in shape. There is a Subway right next to the Elite headquarters, so it's so tempting haha.
(愛吃潛庭堡一個禮拜還吃了至少50吋! 大概吃了9個!
不過為了身材必須戒掉, 可憐的是公司隔壁就是subway, 天人交戰啊lol)

   
Can you give us three random facts
I don't like toes. I wear two pairs of socks cause I don't like them.
They look like little aliens to me. Look…. Oh no, I can't believe I just touched my feet. I love shoes though.
I'm on the 4th Floor right now, where you shot your last issue "The 4th FLoor". That's pretty cool.
I'm catholic, and when I was young once at a quite big mass my mother was trying to keep me quiet and went "Look, there's father Sean, there's father Patrick" and apparently I screamed very loudly "Where's father Christmas?"
(太可愛了吧! 覺得腳趾頭像外星人所以穿襪子lol)

Did you used to believe in Santa Claus?
Yes of course! I still do. He's real. I at least believe in the spirit of him.
Everything feels a little warmer at Christmas.
(完全善良)

Is there anything else you'd like our readers to know about you?
I'm single haha.



"Hi! I am Connor Doherty, I'm 17 from West London and I'm with Elite Models
London. Today we are shooting for Boys by Girls issue number five! Oh that's
ten... I put up two fives."

今年Cecilie Harris在Conor家的攝影主題"What My Parents Taught Me"
家庭的教育在於符合父母的期望下成長, 17歲的Conor又是如何?
Cecilie Harris選在Conor家進行拍攝, 在他所熟悉的環境裡釋放他的直率,
試圖捕捉Conor在他看起來溫順的外表下的潛藏的叛逆氣息,
影片中的兩種造型更顯現了Conor可塑性強的特質.

「The story is aptly named “What My Parents Taught Me”, mainly because one can imagine Conor doing the opposite of what his parents tell him to do. He tries to be a good boy, but sometimes he’s just not. In a good way though, as his is incredibly charming and switched on. We love his mischievous side and Cecilie wanted to capture both the calm and the cheekiness inside him. He is definitely the bad boy in all the right ways.」
(這次主題貼切地取名為"父母所教我的東西",
主要是因為我們能想像Conor有與他的父母期望所相反的一面,
他也曾想當個乖小孩但畢竟有時事與願違, 好的是這讓他極為迷人.
我們都愛他調皮的一面, Cecilie試圖同時捕捉到他的自持與淘氣,
總之他絕對擁有典型的壞男孩氣質.)

訪問片段
How would you describe your character?
Loud and obnoxious at times. I don't know, a bit silly, mischievous.

What are the good sides to Connor?
If you catch me on a good day in a good mood, I'm quite caring.
I have good manners, always hold the door open and stuff like that.
(這題應該是被上一題的負面回答逼出來的吧lol)

And what are your mischievous bits?
The list is endless! Nah, not too bad actually. Just messing around
with friends, always sorta being the silly one, creating chaos.

You mentioned a word before. You were the clown?
The clown? Yes, I am the clown. If everyone is behaving,
I sort of want to get everyone in a silly mood and mess around.
Life's a joke, I just want to mess around a little. haha
(或許可以去兒童台帶動唱lol)
I love that! This issue is called "Lessons",
and it is about learning as you're growing up.
What have you learned from your life?
From work I've learned not to go out the night before a job,
especially not to a party or a club. Always show up on time,
because you want to book regular jobs with good clients.
I'm only 17 so I'm still working things out,
so hopefully I can afford to learn from a few mistakes.
Hopefully something snaps in my brain soon and says
"Right, that's it. Time to grow up now. Stop growing sideways."
(好可愛的回答, 不過守時真的很重要!)

What sort of personal lessons you've learned in your life?
A tiger does not loose sleep over thoughts of his sheep.
We shouldn't be worried about what others think of us so much.
(這很難啊!誰能超然度外啊只能隱居山林了...)
What have your parents taught you?
I like breaking rules, that is just me. It's like a system inside of me,
it feels the need to break rules when there are rules or boundaries set.
But it is sort of dying that little bit of me inside, and I'm growing up a bit.
My motto is "sleep when you die, you aren't going to die
remembering all the great nights of sleep you had.
You want to go out with a bang".
(好誠實喔, 坦言自己以前為了打破規則而打破很幼稚,
不過這句座右銘也太深沉, 我竟體會不了17歲青少年的想法...)




Dries Van Noten Men Fall/Winter 2013-14:Male Models Backstage
唉呀是Matthew Bell!!!最近也覺得他很可愛,
(他一開口被他的口音嚇到, 聽成"Hi! Fxxking TV!" LOL)
說到Matthew便想到唐頓莊園的Matthew(話鋒一轉), 我就心痛,
怎麼能這樣就死了!!! 就像Mary說的, 戰爭都熬過來了竟然死於一場愚蠢的車禍...
說到唐頓莊園我就頭痛, 聽了四季的英國腔, 聽Conor說話我還是一臉痴傻(轉回來)

The Model Diaries | Conor Doherty @ Elite Models London
最後以公司拍的影像日記和Conor的可愛小牙縫作結!(我耳膜要出血了可惡的英國腔!)


(雖然男模做任何事都合理, 路人抽菸只想掐他, 但Conor你未成年...)
