Vice: Is the CK One campaign your first modeling job so far?
Jenny Shimizu: Is there anyone else you’d really like to work with?
You have a few tattoos, which is not so common in fashion. What do they mean?
The style of the CK One campaign is very laid-back—is that similar to what you normally wear on a daily basis? How would you describe your personal style?
Were you a fan of his clothing before the ads?
So you weren’t wearing Calvin Klein jeans in the ads?
How long did it take to shoot everything? Everyone looks extremely bored. Was that what you were all instructed to do?
Why is everyone so skinny? Did anyone eat on set?
laughs The campaign is very different from anything that has ever been done before. Do you think it will have an impact on fashion? What do you think it will change?
What else do you like to do when you’re not in front of the camera?
Since you’ve started modeling have you met anyone famous? Do you have any famous friends?
Where do you see yourself in, say, 2009, 15 years from now?
