Red-hot Alice
AUSTRALIA'S Next Top Model winner, Alice Burdeu, has returned home from Europe not only a top model. She also is an in-demand red carpet celebrity.
The stunning redhead was a presenter at the MTV Awards in Sydney last night, she will appear exclusively in designer Alex Perry's Australian Fashion Week show in Sydney during the week, and will be a guest at the Logie Awards at Crown next Sunday.
Burdeu returned to Melbourne on Tuesday fresh from shooting a spread for Italian Marie Claire in the south of France. She also did a shoot for Vogue Australia while in Britain.
In recent weeks she has also shot an advertising campaign for luxury label D&G in London. The campaign was filmed by leading photographer Mario Testino.
"It was probably the easiest shoot I have done," she said.
"We went to London and it was done on this beautiful estate that was picture perfect. It was like a setting from a Jane Austin novel."
Burdeu's first assignment since arriving home was an exclusive shoot at Melbourne's Langham Hotel for the Sunday Herald Sun.
Despite her sudden fame, Brunswick girl Burdeu is keeping her feet on the ground.
"Modelling is a lot about luck and a lot about timing and about being the right look for the right show at the time when the casting director is in the right mood," she said.
"So I think I just got lucky."
Burdeu has appeared on the catwalk for major designers at New York, Milan, Paris and London fashion weeks.
Burdeu said the highlight of her trip home would be attending the Logies.
"I am so excited," she said.
"My little sister is a big big fan (of Home and Away and Neighbours), so I may even get some autographs for her.
"But then again I may not because I do not want to look uncool!"
