^i like her but that bubblegum look isn't for me and i don't think she'll change the hair color
hope this exclusivity was a one time thing and we get So Ra back
I'm still not sold if there's much here beyond the pink hair gimmick...

Fernanda Ly (a.k.a. the model with pink hair at Louis Vuitton) on walking her first Paris show and how she looks after her hair.

16 TH MAR 2015
We first caught sight of Australian model Fernanda Ly last year at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. Since then, she’s been an under-the-radar favourite - from being a special guest during Vogue Fashion’s Night Out to making cameos on our Instagram account. So it was a form of validation to see Ly being featured as an exclusive model for Louis Vuitton’s latest autumn/winter ’15/’16 show in Paris. Here, she chats to Vogue about the experience. And yes, she gets asked about her hair. A lot.
When did you first hear that you were booked for the Louis Vuitton show?
“First thing in the morning when I checked my emails (still laying in bed, half asleep). I took a screen shot to prove it wasn’t a dream.”
What was it like working with Nicolas Ghesquière?
“It was definitely an experience to remember. He was always so enthusiastic and overall amazing to work with.”
What did you think of the look you wore in the show?
“Cosy! If only fur coats were suitable in Australian weather...The trunks are also calling my name...”
What would you have been if you weren't a model?
“Desperate to travel and lacking the opportunity.”
What did you do in Paris during your down time?
“I had a little time here and there. Hunting down shops that sold flower shaped gelato with Lara Carter was perhaps the most memorable! Seeing an unobscured Eiffel Tower glittering at night from the balcony of the Australian embassy comes as a close second.”
How do you maintain your hair?
“Patience and continuous upkeep! I would probably be bald if I didn't take care of my hair. In terms of colour however, I mix my hair dye into a bottle of conditioner to maintain it. I highly recommend anyone with unnatural colours do this!”
Do you ever get tired of being asked about your hair?
“I have developed an automatic reply to almost all hair-related questions.”
Were you interested in fashion before modelling?
“Yes, particularly street fashion. It’s something I have always held an interest in.”
What have you learnt from modelling so far?
“Three things: 1) Models work much harder than you realise and the work itself isn't as easy as it is made out to be. 2) Everyone is very serious about their work. It’s an art, so even the smallest details are fussed over. And 3) It isn't a good idea to interrupt a stylist with an iron too close to your scalp or eye lash curlers near your eyes.”

Curious to see what happens as well. I think there's something.
