Move over Megan Gale: David Jones' youth ambassadors, Samantha Harris (left) and Abbey Lee will join the supermodel to launch the store's winter 2006 collection.

WHEN Megan Gale first strutted her stuff on the David Jones catwalk — all sexy curves and smouldering smile — four years ago, Melbourne teenager, Abbey Lee couldn't have been the least bit interested.

Back then, the now 18-year-old, from the inner-Melbourne suburb of Kensington, "wasn't into fashion". She was dreaming of becoming a painter or a marine biologist. But later this month, Lee will join Gale on the catwalk, as a youth ambassador for David Jones, alongside 15-year-old Aboriginal Tweed Heads model, Samantha Harris, for the store's winter fashion season launch.

"As a kid, I didn't really know who any of the models were," Lee said. "But Megan is very well known and I've heard she's a really nice, motherly person, so I'm looking forward to working with her."

Lee was discovered by a model scout on a beach in Jervis Bay on the NSW south coast, while holidaying with her family in 2004. The scout encouraged her to enter the Girlfriend magazine model search — which she won.

"Before that I hadn't even considered being a model," she said.
"I didn't even like shopping."

Since then, Lee has strutted the catwalks at Mercedes Australian Fashion Week and graced the glossy pages of Harpers Bazaar, Madison and the debut cover of Nylon magazine. In March she will move to New York to pursue her modelling career. She has been signed by Next Models, the agency responsible for launching the career of supermodel, Niki Taylor.

Abbey Lee playing dress up for TI
TI spent most of yesterday morning lensing video on Abbey Lee, the 18 year old Aussie kicking up quite a booking storm in Manhattan in the waning minutes of the 2007 booking season. The video was for MDC and the photo-shoot we had commissoned was for Spur where she'll be my It Girl for Jan (on the heels of Adina Forisz and Toni Garrn) I couldn't quite understand why Stephen Lee, her manager kept insisting I meet her but I'm now really glad he did. Abbey in pictures is super-pretty and playful and perky way but in person...totally rock chick. She wore knee high Doc Marten boots and a kind of funny floral blouse. I really got into that contradiction. She's got a nose piercing and a too adorable gap in her teeth. That adorable gap probably explained the major shoot she just lensed where she was cast alongside Lauren Hutton. Lauren kept hugging her, off camera declaring her "a baby me!" . Props to that debonair blue-chip lens god who saw that connection and put them together! She doesn't look like Kate Moss but she had that same nonchalant, unaffected way of handling her beauty Miss Moss does. Its very seductive. Abbey Lee loves the music of Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and interestingly enough Kate Bush. She's going to spend New Year's Eve in San Francisco with her boyfriend who she describes as an even bigger hippie than herself "I can just smell the patcholi now," she said with a laugh. Abbey Lee also told a hilarious tale of being rejected for the VS show. Her bust measurements were so small she said the only thing VS that could have fit her would have been a training bra. In any case a tiny bustline is not a fashion liability for AL. All the mags from Vogue Italia back to Numero, 10 and Self Service are ringing up for her and a major major casting director already has her earmarked for one of NY's most coveted show. But I don't want to force anyone to believe the hype. I just loved hanging out with a new girl who actually had presence, personality and a wicked sense of humor. You'll see for yourself when her video hits MDC.

Jennings?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Amelia's only ever done a couple of lookbooks internationally and maybe a small campaign? Abbey's got D&G, and a whole bunch of seriously major editorial work in store.

Abbey's already sped right past Amelia
