Australia’s best models have turned up to David Jones’ Sydney and Melbourne stores in a bid to walk the runway for the highly-anticipated Spring 2014 fashion launch. With the opportunity to appear alongside the store’s fashion ambassadors, Jessica Gomes, Montana Cox and Jason Dundas, the pressure was definitely on for the long-legged hopefuls.
The models brought along their portfolios and best runway faces before walking in front of former Miss Universe Australia contestant Rachael Finch, JETS swimwear designer Jessika Allen and head stylist Kelvin Harries. With both genders modelling swimwear for the collections dropping over the warmer months, there was the added stress of looking super in the designer swimwear.
The girls stripped down to bikinis and one-pieces to be worn with heels, while the boys showed off their washboard abs in swimming trunks. The models not only had to impress the judging panel, but their fellow models were watching on, too. I guess now we’ll just have to wait until the annual show to see who made the cut and, of course, the upcoming collections.
