Miranda Kerr and Me 2002

Miranda Kerr and Me

As I was cleaning out some of my many magazines from my modelling jobs, I came across this Impulse deodorant advertisement that I did with Miranda Kerr in 2002. At the time I was 18 and Miranda was 19.

I remember how she drove me to Moore Park netball courts in her little Ford Festiva.

Looking back it is quite funny to think I had to pretend that Miranda had bad B.O. and was in desperate need of deodorant!(as if!!! haha)

The interesting thing is, that when the advertisement was published in Dolly magazine Orlando Bloom was on the front cover. I'm sure at the time, in Miranda's wildest dreams, she never thought she would end up married and have a baby to Orlando Bloom.

On the day of the shoot I remember Miranda being a very friendly and down to earth person.

For all you doubters or non believers I have attached a profile photo of Miranda when she was pregnant. She hasn't aged one bit since 2002.

Givenchy Spring / Summer 2011

Riccardo Tisci has continued his love affair with the goth aesthetic. This collection was dramatic, dark, and edgy.

Long, sheer lengths and layering made a strong impact on the catwalk. There were structured blazers and vests featuring zipper detail in cross patterns, small and large leopard prints on chiffon, flowing, maxi skirts, often teamed with mini skirts and micro shorts underneath.

Other garments included leather vests, ruffled bibs, tulle camis, button up sleeveless blouses, chiffon capes and fitted, black, hipster flares.

Covetable accessories included minaudieres in snakeskin, leopard satchels, hobos, neutral, snake, envelope clutches, shoulder mini bags, T bar, platform sandals, heels in tortoiseshell and peep toe, ankle, platform boots.

Natasha Poly opened the show with newly coloured, dark chocolate locks. Hair was styled with a centre part, tresses teased out above the shoulders into two plaits on the ends. Eye makeup was kept to a bare minimum and lips were the focal point with crimson, matte lipstick on show.

Plenty of pieces on offer to work back easily into the everyday wardrobe.
