Australia. Home of the Supermodel.

This cover is INCREDIBLE! Plus there's more to it, it's a FOLD OUT, so the fun doesn't just stop there!!! I bought it the other day only because of the cover, I think this may be something I'm not meant to admit out loud (at least not near my mum). It includes SAA's favourite top models, Miranda, Catherine and Abbey. I've also been liking Elyse Taylor lately as well, however there is no way in hell that I condone the use of Sarah Stephans. Aurgh. Uck. No. Why does anyone even like her(she's on the fold out with Abbey)?

Tell me Please!

Love Always xoxo

Where's Wally/Catherine?

Another one of our favourite model's here at SAA, Catherine McNeil, has noticibley been abscent from the recent bout of European shows, missing both Milan and Paris. Catherine's agent Kathy Ward of Chic Management (also Abbey Lee's agent so this woman must have been pretty busy of late!) said that everyone had blown it out of proportion and that Catherine had a number of lucrative and large advertising contracts coming out in the approaching weeks. One of these being the face of Maxmara's newest fragrance. McNeil's grandmother has even spoken from her home here in Brisbane stateing that,"She's just burned out". Rumours from industry insiders have said that McNeil has just become very homesick.

Whatever it is I'm sure Catherine will look fantastic in whatever new campaigns she is said to be starring in because after all Kirstie Clements summed it up beatifully when she said that, "She’s so far up the tree, it wouldn’t matter (if she missed Milan and Paris). She really only does the top-level stuff now and she’s got some big advertising campaigns booked”.

Surprise Surprise, Catherine McNeil's a ....Bride?

Guess who I found in a thrift store at Paddington? Catherine McNeil circa 2003/04 Queensland Brides cover? What the buck? Thank god she went back to her roots-brown (pun intended). Still, she is completely gorgeous!

And yes I did buy the magazine just to upload the cover, but whatever I don't care I mean come on it's early-days-of-supermodel-Catherine!

Catherine McNeil...a Vogue Girl?

Cathrine McNeil is said to have received the seal of approval from legendary Vogue-editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour recently according to her agent, Stephen Lee. Lee, who was contacted by the Sunday Telegraph after a meeting with Wintour, stated that,

"In the meeting, Anna said she wants Catherine to be an absolute, total Vogue girl, no Harper’s or anying else - just Vogue. Anna says Catherine epitomizes everything that Vogue wants to stand for now."

If what Lee says is true then I guess we can expect to be seeing a lot more of the beautiful leggy Queenslander, not just in Vogue but in more and more ad campaigns, because this event can only stand to lift Catherine further up the ladder of Supermodel status.

Can't wait to see more of my favourite self confessed 'bogan form Logan' but until then...

Indiaspirational...The new trend inspired by India.

Vogue Australia April Issue with Catherine McNeil

Vogue Australia April Issue with Catherine McNeil

Spring Summer of 2008 O.P.I Nail collection

Campaign: Lakshmi Menon for Hermes spring/summer 08 shot by Thierry Le Goues

The Catalyst: Australian Vogue October 2007

Lately I've begun to notice that everything is turning Indian inspired! Everyday I find something new that stems its roots from India! Just yesterday I was talking to my equally understanding fashion friend J who further proved my point by reminding me about the new Hermes ad campaign staring indian model, Lakshmi Menon and a number of other impressively photogenic elephants (literally) ; but this is not where the trend began. You may remember. 'may' what am I talking about? You 'should' remember late last year the editorial from the September issue of UK VOGUE and October issue of Australian Vogue with Gemma Ward on the front cover in those striking blonde dread locks and the huge yellow overcoat. This, is where I think the trend has evolved from. The bright colours, funky knits and vibrant/cultural vibe of the shoot was the bold catalyst for the campaigns and collections to come! Next on my list of all things Indian is the latest Spring/Summer 08 collection by nail giant, O.P.I, entitled, india. The bold collection of colours were inspired by the 'vivid, warm and enchanting' colours of traditional indian culture.

Further indorsement of this growing trend is last months edition of Australian Vogue. The SUPERLATIVE photoshoot; Maharani moment, staring S.A.A favourite, Logan local and 'Indian Princess' Catherine McNeil was a true indicator if you're still not convinced of this whole Indian trend. The stunning McNeil, photographer Richard Bailey and fashion team at Aussie Vogue really captured the juxtaposition between the countries lavish opulence and impoverished bare under layer. Last of all in my list of small influences is last months edition of Russh which also caught onto the craze! With a Bindi clad model pouting terrificly whilst sporting the colourful accessory; it's no wonder why I've already started to bug my indian/hindu friend about where it is she gets hers from!

Can't wait to see you all in your cute Indian motifs and colourful clothes soon!!

Love always xoxo
