Phoebe’s short film with Dollhouse Pictures Furlough has wrapped today! Check out our gallery for some of the behind the scene photos from filming of the short.
While Phoebe has dropped a couple hints on her social media that she had a new project in the works, she confirmed in an interview with W Magazine that she is currently directing a short film.
What were you thinking about when you were walking the runway?
Probably something completely unrelated to the show. I’m directing a short film right now so I was probably thinking about camera lenses and catering budgets.
The film is from Dollhouse Pictures, a production company that prioritises female driven storytelling and collaborates with emerging and experienced creatives. Actress Rose Byrne is one of its founders.
Australia is not lacking in supermodels, with Miranda Kerr, Gemma Ward, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Elle MacPherson among the many megastars who hail from down under. But on the second day of Australia Fashion Week’s Resort 2020 shows in Sydney this year, a new rising runway star joined their ranks: actress Phoebe Tonkin, walking in her first ever runway show. It was not just any runway show, though—the 29-year-old hit the catwalk for her friends Peta Heinsen and Ilona Hamer, in their brand Matteau’s first ever ready-to-wear show. Tonkin joined a diverse cast of models, including fellow Aussie native Robyn Lawley, seamlessly fitting in with the crew, nary a sign of nerves in sight. Here, Tonkin breaks down how her runway debut came to be, and shares her latest fashion opinions.
How were you feeling before you hit the runway?
I was just excited for Ilona and Peta. The energy backstage was just pure joy. All the girls felt confident and beautiful, everyone was commenting on how relaxed the show was. I’m not a model, maybe I should have been more nervous, but I was wearing flats so I figured as long as I didn’t walk the wrong way or slip over, I was going to do okay.
What was most surprising to you about the runway experience?
That it was so quick! The whole [thing] lasted only six or so minutes! And also how chilled out backstage was.
