Aussie model to walk Victoria's Secret show

How the 18-year-old got her big break after one audition - by Paige McMillan
  • 07 Nov 2018
Aussie model to walk Victoria's Secret show

For young Aussie model Alannah Walton, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has always been a distant dream, but after moving to New York City four days prior to attending one VS audition, she has landed the role.

The Sydney-based teen has previously walked the runway for Australian department store David Jones and labels Bianca Spender and We Are Kindred, but it is safe to say that this international stage will definitely be the one to draw the most attention.

Mairie Claire Australia chatted to Alannah asking of the events leading up to the announcement, "It was about three or four days after my second casting and New York Fashion Week was on at the time, so I was out with a booker from London and we were going to a few of the events with some other models. I got a text from [senior creative for Victoria's Secret] Ed Rasek who said we should come to Russell James’ book launch. So I arrived there and said hello to everyone, but I was so nervous because I knew within the next day or two everyone was going to find out if they had booked the show. As I was leaving, [Ed] whispered in my ear, ‘You got the show’ and just casually walked off, I was like, ‘wait, are you kidding?!’ I could not believe it."

I DID IT!!!! 💗💕💗💕💗💕 I am so excited to announce that I will be walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2018 ✨✨✨ I am feeling so so so blessed and grateful... my dream has come true. Thank you Ed Razek, @johndavidpfeiffer @monica.mitro @10magazine for believing in me, & to @mrs_k_chow @vspink for welcoming me into your family as soon as I arrived! 🙏🏻 Everyone has supported and guided me so kindly through this journey and I will be forever grateful. @imgmodels !! I LOVE YOU 🦋 & to my parents... you have been through this entire journey with me and to have the opportunity to walk in front of you both at the end of the year..... is honestly my proudest and greatest achievement yet. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 @victoriassecret ! ❤️

Following in the footsteps of Miranda Kerr, Australia's first ever model to walk in the prestigious show, the homegrown beauty is set to hit the catwalk this December showcasing some of Victoria's Secrets hottest new collections ... but how does one prepare for such an enormous event, we ask? "I have a trainer called Michael Olajide in New York and his form is based on boxing and jump rope... we’ve been working two hours every single day ... That’s been my main form of exercise in the lead up to the show and I’ve also been doing a lot of reformer pilates and Kyo therapy and saunas to relax and lengthen and stretch" she told Marie Claire Australia.

As many of you may know for the VS Fashion Show I set myself a goal of achieving 100 double turns in a row. When I first started training with Michael I couldn't even do 30... I am proud to say with a lot of hard work and patience I have finally achieved my #VSFS fitness goal!!! Preparing for this show has been as difficult mentally as it has been physically. Thank you Michael @elcuerpodepapi for sticking by my side and overcoming challenges everyday. Feeling better and stronger than ever. After all the work I am ready for the runway 🔥👏🏼👊🏼👍🏼 #trainlikeanangel @victoriasport

Adding @SLTNYC classes into the regime before #vsfs 🍑🔥

And as for the food, we are dying to know what she is eating to look that good? "I’m eating a lot of eggs for breakfast, a lot of nuts for snacking during the day and then lunch and dinners are pretty similar. I’ll do a big bowl of fish and vegetables or a chicken stirfry and just keeping it pretty simple with not much salt and lots of veggies and protein."
