This Australia Day I’m celebrating our nation’s hottest exports; the models.
From fresh faces to supermodels, Aussie talent is currently in demand and a bevvy of Australian beauties are parading runways and gracing editorial pages locally and internationally. These are the ladies that are doing Australia proud on the homefront and overseas, proving to the fashion world that Australia’s diverse beauty extends beyond its breathtaking landscape.
