Dempsey Stewart

^She's 19 in a few months. Still very young, but she's got a few years on a lot of the other newcommers.
 
really? wow, she looks much younger to me... although i'm certainly not saying that's a bad thing, it's just that usually she looks older (so more her age), and in those polaroids she looks much younger than usual

The Australian-born model Dempsey Stewart is quite a novelty in the fashion world. At 18 years old, she owes her booming career to a modeling competition in her hometown of Perth. “I didn’t win,” Stewart says. “But I was noticed and asked to go to Tokyo to work with Image Models.” Her career took off from there. After walking for a laundry list of fall shows, she says her favorite show in each European city was Burberry, Prada and Louis Vuitton: “Of course, because of the designs, but also because of the suspense — I found out only a couple of hours before each show that I was actually confirmed!” She walked so hard, in fact, she managed to sever a major tendon in her foot in Paris.

Pretty sure she was scouted by Viviens at either the state or national final of this.



WA student Dempsey Stewart, 15, in Teen fashion final

INNOVATIVE Dempsey Stewart has the answer for what to do with a coat when it gets too hot: turn it into a shoulder bag.

That's just what the Year 10 student from Methodist Ladies College will do today in the national final of the Apex Australia Teenage Fashion Awards in Geelong.

And if she gets the same reaction today as she did in Perth recently when doing her coat-bag trick, Dempsey will have trouble containing herself on the catwalk.

"I nearly lost it with laughter in the state final, because all the people looked gobsmacked when I changed the coat into a bag,'' Dempsey, 15, of Floreat, said.

Dempsey's coat-bag, a five-piece all-year round outfit, was made from a 1970s shirt pattern she found in an Op shop.

"I altered it to get the right shape and cut that I wanted for the shoulder and collar area,'' Dempsey said.




The coat-bag is a finalist in the daywear section while Dempsey also has a dress -- designed and made without using patterns -- in the final of the evening division.

Dempsey had a major problem after winning three sewing machines at the WA finals.

"Thankfully, Bernina (sponsors) took two back and offered me something else,'' Dempsey said.

The teenager, whom the WA fashion industry has labelled as a "most promising'' talent, was only three years old when she started sewing.

"My mum's business had a studio downstairs and I went there and worked,'' she said.

"When mum bought me a little sewing machine for Christmas, I was up and away.''

Today's Australian final of the Teenage Fashion Awards, run by Apex Australia, is at the home of the Geelong Football Club.

Ironically, Apex, a community service organisation, was founded in Geelong in 1931.

"I'm hoping I have the same good fortune as the Cats did this year,'' Dempsey said.
