Call it misguided patriotism, or just plain bias, but i have a lot of time for australian models. Catherine McNeil, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Alice Burdeu, even the eternally smiley Miranda Kerr, and of course the one and only Gemma Ward. The latest in the crop of Australian models hitting the fashion scene is youngster (she's a year younger than me!) Myf Shepherd from Brisvegas, Queensland. Her doll-like face with slightly odd eyes and an interesting jaw line, means that she stands out from the usual cast of leggy scandinavians.
[tfs]The thing i love about this editorial is how natural all the headpieces and the styling feels. I mean, there are some crazy things going on with the hair in these shots. Wild colours, frizzed up like marie antoinette and filled with flowers and various plant-like accoutrements. The clothes are similar, fitting in with the real-floral and doll like characteristics of the shoot.
Myf is the next big thing, believe it or not, after having stormed up the catwalks in new york, london, milan and paris, closing 3 shows and captivating the imagination and sketches of lagerfeld, prada, theyskens and elbaz. Look out for her porcelain features and piercing, no no really they cut like diamonds, eyes, on the couture runways and the ready to wear shows this coming february. what a striking show, no?

[currently in london, probably cold, and broke, but insanely happy]
EDIT: am i, or am i not, a fortune teller! picked this date for scheduled post randomly mostly because i would be in london when it would be posted, and logged onto tfs today to find myf had rocked in 2 couture shows, and only DIOR and CHANEL... and that in both of these she had been wearing finer than fine headgear, one terrific hat at \dior that curved right around her face and paper and organza headwear confections at Chanel!!!!
amd, speaking of which, how beautiful was the chanel haute couture show? i swear to god, if i had the money, and body, to wear couture, that entire collection would be in my wardrobe posthaste. I like Dior and Givenchy too, but chanel was ... wow... blew me away.
