So Rachel Rutt was back in town for last week’s David Jones show. While in town, she shot a lookbook for Wish. Click here to see more out-takes on photographer Sonny Vandevelde’s blog. Frockwriter mentioned that after her stellar Australian Fashion Week in May, Rutt headed to New York for the cruise season, during which she shot lookbooks for Phillip Lim and Doo.Ri and featured on big buzz model industry websites models.com and COACD. Add to this several as yet unseen new jobs: a lookbook for eveningwear brand Marchesa, a shoot with Scott ‘The Sartorialist’ Schuman for Vogue Italia, presentations for Mulberry and Giles Deacon in London and a 14-page editorial shot in London by Andrew Hobbs for NZ's PILOT magazine. Rutt is now gearing up for the SS10 shows, which kick off in New York on September 9. As is Vandevelde who, in addition to covering the season, will unveil the first of two upcoming retrospectives showcasing a decade of his backstage photography at New York's Tribeca Grand Hotel from September 10-30. The second is due to take place during the 2010 Melbourne Fashion Festival.

Dear Patty,

Can you please just explain what the big deal is on Rachel Rutt???

What on earth is attractive about this girl and she's off to the New York runways??? surely it must have something to do with her modelling agency Chic.They must have all the right connections surely..............

^Sigh, Anonymous. Here is what is attractive about Rachel Rutt: that she is attractive. From my perspective, she is tall, slender, with a stunning combination of strength and vulnerability. She's cool and classic.

Why bother saying "She is nothing special."? She is nothing special TO YOU, though obviously many others find her absolutely enchanting. All sorts of courses for all different horses dear. Why not embrace diversity, rather than trying to stuff beauty into a blond, tanned, overfilled sack?
