FIND OUT WHY THE BREATH TAKING OLIVER GREENALL HAS BEEN NOMINTED FOR THE SCOTTISH FASHION AWARDS 2013

 OLIVER GREENALL

Born in Irvine, Oliver was scouted in 2011 by Elite London, the Scottish model is now represented by Models 1. Although only just establishing himself at the time, in early 2012 Oliver carried out a campaign for J.W Anderson and walked in their London Fashion Week show. He also walked in the Lou Dalton and Katy Eary shows quickly proving his model credentials.

Oliver has also appeared in many high profile publications including Hunger magazine, Dazed & Confused, Wonderland, Exit, Ponystep and was also the first male model on the front cover of LOVE magazine. He has appeared in many campaigns including Topman, The Suits and Babyliss and Adidas Nuremberg.

Walking for fashion houses such as Missoni and Diesal Black and Gold during his debut at Milan Fashion Week, the Scots born model has not stopped since his arrival in London at age 17. From assignments from Mert & Marcus to high profile shots on the front of the most established publications, it looks like Oliver is set up for a fantastic modelling career.

Q. How does it feel being nominated for the Scottish Model of the Year Award?

Q. How long have you been a model?

 

A. About a year and a half now

 

Q. What has been your best bits so far?

What is your favourite Scottish pub?

A.  I’m of a rare breed in that I am a Scot who doesn’t drink!

Any favourite Scottish food or drinks?

 Do you know the Scottish national anthem?

A. Of course. We Scottish are very patriotic

Favourite Scottish designer?

A. I would have to say all my fellow nominees. I wouldn’t want to show favouritism!

Are there any particularly Scottish words you use?

A. I use “houghin” quite a lot. It basically means that something is incredibly revolting.
