Good grief. Frockwriter takes her eye off the FW0910 action for a mo, to attend to some work which required more than a little concentration, and the Oz model crew continues to walk up a runway storm. With Myf Shepherd (pictured above) leading the pack - by a wide margin. We did say that Shepherd's sophomore RTW season was shaping up to be bigger than her first. Well at time of writing, Shepherd had broken her own show record by walking in 56 (13/03: now 62) shows from New York to London, Milan and now Paris. With two days to go, how many more can she do? Will she crack the season's Top 5 in terms of shows walked? Here is an updated showlist of the 17 Australian women (and OK, one man) who have walked thus far on the season's runways.
The list is obviously yet to be finalised. Feel free to add in anything frockwriter may have missed. Thanks also to the TFS crew, whose model otakus keep such close tabs on their individual faves.
Congrats to all the models for making their marks on the season.
Couple of points.
Great first season for Bridget Malcolm and Georgie Wass. And who really is to say that an agent blabbing to Grazia UK about a potential Prada exclusive may have stymied Wass's chances of said exclusive? If indeed that is what occurred - we really don't know where the Prada info came from. As we pointed out, many girls are optioned for that show and never make it in. Wass did not, in the end, turn up at Prada.
Alexandra Agoston-O'Connor is really in her element at haute couture, but her season seems comparatively light - and it was disappointing not to see her at Dior, since she is usually a sure bet with any Galliano show. Tallulah Morton did make it into the Dior show.
Beyond a couple of great gets for Stephanie Carta in New York, moreover, and a few good Paris shows, Carta missed out on several high profile shows which she no doubt hoped to nab again - notably Jil Sander, Balenciaga and Givenchy. On the other hand, she did appear in a high volume of low profile commercial shows in Milan.
Work is work and of course, times are tough, but it's odd to see Carta in those lower tier shows, after achieving such great heights last season - and being hyped as a face to watch.
The Mallory Jansen info comes, perhaps amusingly, from a snippet in The Sunday Telegraph. Jansen does not appear to have her own TFS thread yet and we have been snowed under with work and had no time to check with the agencies. Yes bad timing, but hey, we have to make a living.
Unless sub-editors are at fault here, removing copy for space issues (which is always a possibility), it strikes frockwriter as strange that any paper would go anywhere near a story on Australian models in the FW0910 season and fail to mention even the names of Shepherd, McNeil and Stracke. But look, there you have it: mainstream fashion coverage. And they wonder why people are flocking to the net.
Frockwriter couldn't resist slipping in a couple of backstage shots of our fave Oz model mate hybrids.

Myf is really growing on me, out of her and Catherine Mcneil, we have a great selection of models out there representing Aus :)
I think Myf had a more impressive list last season. Sure, she's done a few more shows in London, but she too missed out on backing up in a number of high profile shows including Balenciaga, Jil Sander, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci, Karl Lagerfeld, Dries van Noten and Fendi.
I quite like the look of Georgie Wass and Tallulah is looking better this season but well done to ALL the Aussie girls because it must be a tough slog in the current economic climate!
well it's certainly true that she missed out on balenciaga, jacobs, dior and a few other blue chip shows this season.
but look, win some, lose some. there is no shortage of big names on her FW0910 list, prada, gucci, missoni and chanel among them. i have just checked her SS09 showlist and here are some of the high profile shows she scored this season, but missed out on in SS09:
diane von furstenberg
jason wu
donna karan
max azria
michael kors
zac posen
christopher kane
giles
julien macdonald
paul smith women
alberta ferretti
pucci
max mara

lanvin
I don't necessarily think for her to have been in Balenciaga or Jil Sander would only make this season her best. If you look at the actual key shows, she walked for Kane, Chanel, Lanvin, Nicoll, Missoni, Goldin, Gucci, Prada, Chalayan, Ackermann. These shows alone are very impressive especially Ackermann which was a key show for many this season.
But what I love the most is Myf hasn't had much press I think which in turn is good for her. God knows how much of Poly's face has been plastered everywhere. (i.e. new Jil Sander campaign)
