Yan is still a sprightly young thing at 23 (as of today--Happy Birthday!), but he started modelling at an even sprightlier age 19. His first gig was in California, but these days he stays closer to home with agents in Melbourne and Sydney. He will showcase Ted Baker London's Spring/Summer collection in a parade that will process down Little Collins Street, Melbourne as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week 2010. And now, a word from Yan on the usual model issues: clothes, hair dye, bums, and one-eyed dinosaurs.

1. Do you practice your walk or does it come quite naturally?

Spend around 2 hours a day holding a twenty cent coin between my bumcheeks whilst balancing a book on my head. It's better if you're not wearing shoes.

2. What are you going to do for your birthday?

Celebrate with friends and family! Awwww and maybe go to the barber.

3. What’s…

… your favourite article of clothing?

A fresh pair of socks. Poppin tags jonny.

… your favourite Melbourne bar?

The Golden Tower or Prudence. Or The Toff but they are losing it. Maybe The Vic Hotel. 

… the funniest joke you’ve ever heard?

I googled this question and I liked username: smart9426's answer: What do you call a one-eyed dinosaur?
 DO-YOU-THINK-HE-SAW-US!!!

5. Who’s…

… the best designer(s)?

Carolyn Davidson  

… the most attractive person in the world?

I asked my parents. My Dad said my Mum and my Mum said Jesus.

… the most talented person in the world?

6. Do you want to model forevermore?

I'll probably break soon and get into it again when I'm 40 and start doing men's hair dye commercials.
