Gotham pretty

Abbey Lee Kershaw might have skipped New York Fashion Week this season, but rising up in her wake was no shortage of antipodian runway talent. If international casting directors did not already have Australian and New Zealand model agencies on speed dial, they will do from now on. Australia had at least 18 models at New York Fashion Week, seven of them brand new to the event and among those, several models with less than six months experience who scored some big shows. New Zealand now has its own potential modelling superstar. For the second consecutive season  - and from the same agency, Auckland's Clyne Management - the Land of the Long White Cloud delivered a face to watch. And then some. After Jessica Clarke nabbed a Calvin Klein exclusive last season, a 17 year-old total unknown Kiwi by the name of Emily Baker walked in pretty much every major show of the week, prompting models.com to declare her its first Top 10 Newcomer of Fall/Winter 2011/2012 - and noting that Baker is now “on the watch list of every major casting director, photographer and editor in the trade”. 


In her third New York season, Australia’s Julia Nobis walked in 18 top shows. 

After a slow start, Australia’s biggest buzz newcomer, Codie Young, added Calvin Klein to a stellar show list, that already included Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs, Rodarte and Halston. Great to see Dempsey Stewart and ‘MJ’ also make a strong debut. Ditto Australia’s unique androgynous superstar Andrej Pejic, who walked in both womens’ and mens’ shows and was never far from the headlines all week. 

Another Australian man also made his mark in New York: Jack Vanderhart who, as frockwriter revealed, was booked for a Calvin Klein exclusive.

After a slew of lowprofile showroom presentations, Australia’s Next Top Model Cycle 6 winner Amanda Ware finished the week with two highly coveted shows: 3.1 Phillip Lim and L’Wren Scott. 

What was perhaps surprising was the relatively small show tallies of Bambi Northwood-Blyth, Lauren Brown and Alice Burdeu. But the season is yet young. 

FYI, Ware and Burdeu weren’t the only ANTM alumni on deck in New York: Cycle 6 contestant Chantal Croccolo did four shows/presentations.  

Next stop: London.
