Gorgeous. Just saw her on the DNA borad and had to look her up. Reminds me of Lydia Hearst in the 1st Vogue Italia days.

Young blood

Last week frockwriter mentioned new Sunshine Coast face Codie Young. Modelling for a few months, flown to Rosemount Australian Fashion Week for the Ellery show, signed to DNA in New York and booked for three Vogue Australia editorials – with VA editor Kirstie Clements reportedly “obsessed” with her - things are moving pretty quickly for the 17 year-old. We are not likely to see further images of Young in any magazines other than Vogue Australia for the immediate short term because, frockwriter understands, the latter has her locked down on an exclusive. But we can reveal this unpublished test, shot with Australian photographer Thom Kerr in Brisbane on Monday.

Her eyes

 

[Esperanza]

gorgeous

Her lips/eyes combo is truly great - hope future digis are better, though.

These are brand new and seem definitely better to me.

She got an aura.

Unfortunately no Spring shows for Codie, have to wait until February 2011 cause she's still stuck in school. Showing patience is definitely better than seeing her rushing things into nowhere. She's 17 years old, btw.

This girl is amazing, im happy to have discovered her in the Polaroid thread. Staying tuned!!!...

I thankfully won't have to wait for the return of Heather Marks due to Codie's presence. She is so striking and birdlike, almost royal.

She reminds me of that girl who did pretty well a few years ago, Tayla Collins.

Codie Young gets Vogue Australia October cover?

Well it seems a Vogue exclusive may not be Codie Young’s only coup. The 17 year-old Sunshine Coast schoolgirl, who has been modelling for just four months and is currently appearing in a series of editorial spreads exclusive to Vogue Australia, is due to appear on the cover of the October 2010 edition. At least that's what frockwriter's sources report editor Kirstie Clements told "20-30" people, including Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, at the Valentino retrospective launch at Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art on Friday night as she introduced Young to the room. Young was Clements' special guest at the event. No response yet back from Vogue's rep after we put in a call.But Young’s Gold Coast-based mother agent Summer Fisher from Busy Models says she knew she had a potential star on her hands when she spotted Young en route to the movies at Maroochydore’s Sunshine Plaza in April and hooked her up with New York model agency DNA (and Viva in Paris and London), before even signing Young herself.
“I signed her in New York first but I wasn’t sure if Australia would get her look basically” Fisher tells frockwriter. “But obviously they do, if she’s on an exclusive for Vogue. Everyone has embraced her”. Young walked in the Myer show last Thursday, but not the David Jones show two days beforehand, because she is under the latter retailer’s minimum runway age of 18.

Fisher reports that Young has been optioned for the shows of a major international fashion name for the Spring/Summer 2011 season, which kicks off in New York next month.

Fisher has however made the decision not to send her overseas until January, in preparation for a full season of shows – and not just one company's collections.

"If she hit it really big at the shows and everyone wanted to shoot her, they wouldn’t be able to because she would have needed to be back at school to finish year 12 and they would just move on to the next girl" says Fisher. "That happened to two girls at DNA. It’s the worst possible thing when Steven Meisel wants to shoot someone and they can’t”.

Yay, Vogue confirmed it now

Great to see she's been optioned for shows! Also, good to see her mother agency is developing her well
