We take a moment to ask Justin Taylor (Red) a few questions... cause we're curious like that.
Tell us how you got into modelling, how long you've been doing it and how you're finding it
I had been approached when I was younger in a theme park, but my parents were not to fond of the idea. Then a couple of years later in my second year of University I was scouted by my previous agent and also by a New York agency. So I signed on with both, one as my mother agent and other as my NYC placement.
What are you passionate about and why?
I am passionate about a lot of things! I really enjoy cooking, and this might sound odd but I love learning about psychic phenomena, numerology, and astrology, and of course art. I am always wanting to learn learn anything I can, to somehow understand life and how to make it more productive. When I am traveling I always want to learn native cuisine and how I can create it in my own version. Then I usually channel all my experiences and knowledge into my art for sparks of creativity.
What do you do when you're not modelling?
Well when I am back home, I am in school and studying fine arts with a focus in sculpture. I miss being creative when I am traveling so I am always trying to find an outlet when I can...lately it has been photography..it's the most portable.
What is your favorite modelling experience to date?
My favorite experience was probably when I shot Vman. The styling was interesting and they gave me a brand new hairdo..haha...and also it made people aware of me.
What is fashion to you?
I think fashion should be treated as art or extension of art. You can really feel and tell when someone has put their soul into their work. It should always make you have a reaction.
Give us three random facts about yourself
Describe where you'd like to see yourself in 5 years time
In 5 years I would hope to be finishing my degree and starting an art career of some kind.
Describe a perfect weekend
My perfect weekend would be doing something active like going hiking, kayaking or, hosting a bbq for friends.
Tell us something people don't know about you
I am very intuitive, I base a lot of decisions and judgements off what I feel rather than logic.
What makes you laugh?
My humor can be a bit childish at times..haha..people farting or having explosive diarrhea is always a good laugh..but I really enjoy skits like "Saturday Night Live" or "Mad TV".
