Is the world ready for the first Aboriginal supermodel? Samantha Harris certainly hopes so. It has been a childhood dream for this 19 year-old Aboriginal Australian, one that started at the tender age of five when her mother entered her in the first of many beauty pageants . Harris says she spent the rest of her childhood “wondering why you had to have blonde hair and blue eyes to do well in...

Glossy Review Hey Hey It’s Saturday isn’t the only PBL Media project that’s copped criticism this week: Harper’s BAZAAR Australia has been having a bit of a rough time of it over at The Fashion Spot . Apparently, Jennifer Hawkins isn’t a favourite, nor are crazily distracting cover fonts. So I’m going to be the voice of dissent and admit I like it. Brushing aside...

I have Pebbles Hooper to thank for first alerting me to Areez Katki. New Zealand fashion royalty (Hooper is the daughter of World co-founders Denise L'Estrange-Corbet and Francis Hooper), the Auckland hipster was rocking one of Katki's very distinctive hand-knitted dresses on Day One of Air New Zealand Fashion Week. I TwitPic'd a shot , only to spot another ANZFW delegate wearing a similar dress the...

rachel rutt/TFS street style NYFW Sadly frockwriter has been otherwise occupied for the duration of New York Fashion Week, so this blog has been incredibly quiet. Australian models, on the other hand, have been busy, with at least 11 local names walking in shows. Anyone we have missed, feel free to add in. Chadwicks claims that Jessica Hart and Louise van der Vorst were also on deck, but so far the...

Frockwriter first noticed Andrej Pejic at Sydney’s Rosemount Australian Fashion Week in May. Then 17 years old, Pejic was a little hard to miss at Ant!podium’s show: he opened it. And many may well have assumed he was a she. The incredibly androgynous Melbourne-ite has been modelling for 12 months, turned 18 on Friday and is about to complete his HSC (Australian highschool final year exams),...

Rachel Rutt (Next Models). Hong Kong–born Rachel Rutt began modeling just last year in Australia. After a strong showing at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week this past April as the most-requested girl of the season, Next Models swiftly scooped up the 17-year-old. (Mind you, this was the very same position Myf Shepherd was in just before she became a serious rising star.) Once the resort-collections...

New York Fashion Week runs from September 9-17 and after several quiet seasons on the Oz front – with Toni Maticevski making the pilgrimage alone last season - things look to be picking up. Which is interesting, given the ongoing problems of the US retail sector. In fashion alone, 4,600 outlets are tipped to close this year, on top of 6,913 closures last year, in what WWD is calling , “the...

Sydney stylist Kelvin Harries pulls together all the David Jones shows. Here is a quick chat we had backstage after this morning's show, during which we talked trends and models - notably, just how young Australian models are supposed to get any runway experience now that Rosemount Australian Fashion Week has banned under-16s from its event and David Jones will now not use anyone under the age of...
