Young was not the only Australian cast, as it happens.
Sources say that Perth's Dempsey Stewart was also flown to the Maldives in late 2011 to shoot the campaign with German photographer Juergen Teller.
Judging by the WWD story, however, which makes no mention of Stewart, only Young appears to have made it to the final print campaign. This is not that uncommon in advertising. Australia's Myf Shepherd, some may recall, was among a large cast booked for a Miu Miu campaign one season to accompany actor Katie Holmes, only to wind up on the cutting room floor in favour of solo shots of Holmes.
