Coming in Hot

We at SMR predict these 6 hotties are going to make it and make it big! Here we profile these talented models, musicians and actors in conjunction with H&M and VFNO. Australia’s 5th annual VFNO will be hosted in Sydney on 4th September, kicking off at 5pm in Hyde Park.

Isabella Manfredi
Front woman for Australian Indie band The Preatures, oozes rock&roll chic. Her new album launches at the end of September.

Erin Shea (IMG)
20yr old Psychology student had a dream introduction to the modelling industry, being signed by IMG and her first ever job being Vogue Australia. Reminiscent of a young Catherine McNeil, Erin has gone from strength to strength, having also shot for publications, RUSSH, Miss Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

Fernanda (Priscillas)
Fernanda has caught the eye of some of the world’s top designers and is tipped to grace the runway this upcoming S/S15 Show season & with her signature pink hair & individual fashion sense this has also propelled her to capture the attention of street style aficionados.

All talent wears H&M Studio collection, sold in around 260 stores worldwide and online from September 4th.

This new H&M Studio collection was shown on the runway in Paris and will be launched in Sydney at VFNO before anywhere else in the world.

Photo Booth

Actors make good models, you give them a character and they play it out for you in stills. So when I asked Actress Emma Booth (IMG) for a seductive, free spirited girl she delivered. Here are some out takes from my recent shoot with Miss Booth for Yeojin Bae campaign in my favourite dress from the SS15 collection.

Long Island Adventure

This week the historic & beautiful Strand Arcade in Sydney launches it’s Spring/Summer edition of ‘1891’, which I was asked to curate & photograph this season. It was definitely one of my favourite projects this year, so thank you to a wonderful team that helped me edit this amazing magazine. Here are some outtakes from our Long Island adventure with model, Erin Heatherton!
