VAMFF Model Profile | EBONY HUNTER.



This year I was lucky enough to again be chosen to take part in VAMFF as a volunteer. 
One of my most loved roles included 'Back of House' as a dresser to the models and this took place on 
Friday the 21st of March. I am so thankful to have selected Ebony Hunter to be my model muse for the entire 
day, working closely with her for both the Harper's Bazaar and Shop Til You Drop shows, as she is one 
of the sweetest people I have come across. At only 16 years of age, with her doe eyes and long, creamy 
blonde locks, she showed maturity, poise and professionalism like any other model that has been doing 
shows for many years. She has been compared to Gemma Ward and Chadwick's model booker, Vanda 
Shijf, has stated that she is confident that Ebony will make it to "the top". And I wholeheartedly agree!

I tried to compile all of her looks from each runway during VAMFF
Some are missing, but these were a few of the best...

My most adored outfits included, the hot pink Bec & Bridge number that I dressed, especially with the 
akubra and the double-lined mesh crop underneath, followed by the Viktoria + Woods grey winter coat 
outfit, Romance Was Born playful print dress and close 1st, the Jac & Jack all white sportsluxe look.

Rich Girls x Woodhouse.





Woodhouse Clothing is a premier retailer of designer menswear in the UK, 
stocking high end brands including Hugo Boss, C.P. Company, J. Lindeberg, Lacoste + Nudie Jeans Co.

Woodhouse posed the question, "How do other countries that don't wear a traditional costume mark out their individualism 
through the way they dress, and are there any differences between us all in terms of what floats our boat fashion wise?"
To help gain some insight into their very thought provoking question, Woodhouse spoke to 9 influential fashion bloggers 
from around the entire globe to find out what styles are big in their own country and to suss out their personal fashion secrets.
I was the extremely lucky one chosen to represent Australia on the Woodhouse world map amongst 8 others 
from the USA, England, France, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Denmark.

Surprisingly, it was a little harder than I had initially anticipated, questioning myself on Australian style 
- what we, Australians, wear on a daily basis, what trends we follow and the hardest of them all, what our 
traditional costume is, if any? But I think that I pinpointed our relaxed style honestly and profusely, but skipped the part 
where I should have mentioned that I think that Australians are up there with the most fashion forward nations around!
Feel free to let me know your thoughts on Australian style. I'd love to hear them!

Campaign | Zimmermann Swim Summer '14.




As usual the girls behind Zimmermann, Nicky and Simone, bring out a killer summer campaign with many, 
many lust worthy swimsuits that have you reaching for a pen and paper as soon as your eyes hit the screen. 
That white ruffle halter makes the top of my list, with the two piece below, a very close second.
