Julia Nobis just cemented her position as fashion's
coolest girl by closing Hedi Slimane's much-anticipated menswear runway debut for
Saint Laurent Paris. She wasn't the only woman on this season's menswear runways – nor
the only woman in the Saint Laurent show – but the brand's new creative director Hedi
Slimane obviously has a soft spot for the Australian tomboy, casting her in his womenswear and menswear show debuts
for the storied Paris maison, as well as the Spring/Summer 2013 womenswear campaign. And the feeling is, evidently, mutual. "Awesome" is the word Nobis used to
describe working with Slimane when we caught up with her at last month's Australian Fashion Foundation party in Sydney.
