Gemma Ward

[OriginalSin]

I have to disagree about people who aren't into fashion knowing who she is. The models who are household names now have become famous because of either Victoria's Secret, Sports Illustrated, a Make-up ad campaign, exposure on television, acting, or dating a celebrity. I've never seen her get mentioned on tv, she isn't a target for the tabloids, the print ads she's done haven't been featured in that many magazines, and I doubt that she's ever going to make it on the cover of SI. I still think that she has the potential to be a household name, though.

i def. agree with u laurlaur. she is not a household name outside of fashion lovers...i could mention her to ANY of my friends and not a single one would know who she is...heck i HAVE mentioned her to all of my friends and none of them know her most dont even know her by face, let alone by name. not saying she will never be a household name but she's def. not there yet. perhaps one day

I said she's BECOMING a household name.

the model to the left of gemma is gorgeous!
i agree with you though sasseestefanie that it is like the vogue US cover

that is correct but u also said "and people who aren't into fashion definintely know who Gemma Ward is" which i dont think is the case

More info Re Vogue China

SPEEDY DELIVERY: Vogue may be one of the last international titles to make it to Mainland China, but it has a head start on the newsstands for its debut September issue. The much-anticipated magazine — which features a gatefold cover of model Gemma Ward and five leading Chinese models that was styled by French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld and shot by lensman Patrick Demarchelier in Shanghai — had been set to go on sale on Monday. But when the print run finished early, the magazine's publishers decided to get it out in advance. The 430-page issue started appearing on some newsstands in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou on Wednesday, displayed in prominent, oversize packaging that includes a free Vogue tote bag and a fall-winter runway fashion supplement. And if there was any worry about how it would be received, those fears were quickly alleviated: Just hours after the magazine went on sale, several sellers were already calling to request a restock.

i read an article before in which she mentioned that she likes acting. maybe if she would try out acting she would definitely make a name in the industry. but still, i'd like her to become the next supermodel..

irresistable _loz, and anyone else who wants to read!

someone on 'gemma ward- just like perfection' (a little fan community thing) said they met Gemma Ward at the David Jones thing in Sydney just the other day, they talked to her and everything

QUOTE (from the person who met Gemma SHE IS THE NICEST PERSON EVER, she is really genuine, has a beautiful smile, and she has a very willowy figure and she is quite tall. She wasnt actually in the show, i recognised her immediately (even though my friend didnt think it was her lol) but i went up to her anyway, she was really flattered and she was happy to have a conversation with me.. Her Mum and another model was with her.


there was a a scan of Gemmas autograph too. sooo it WAS gemma ward that you saw!!

I live in Melbourne, and out David Jones Launch's are next week, and then in September we have the big Melbourne Spring Fashion week, so I hope Gemma will be there!!

scott.

 

[irresistable_loz]

hey scott and everyone else,


yeah, I've been working backstage at the David Jones and Myer parades so I knew she wasnt actually in the parade, but the girls told me today that she had been there watching the show. No wonder really, I mean she will only be back for a little while and many of her friends, like Jessica Gomes and her sis Sophie are in Sydney. BTW Sophie is soooo tall! Its incredible, she must be at least four inches higher than most of the other girls...

anyway, she may come to melbourne, but i don't think so, only because I don't think many of the girls are going down there anyway.

 

[acester]

dam that must mean she isn't in perth anymore

oh well...I'll wait till...Christmas!!

 

[melbguy]

so Giselle was supposed to get the first Vogue China Cover & our Gemma got it.
Well they know class when they see it ( she aint no Victorias Secret-Sports Illustrated- FHM Bimbo)

I really don't see anything wrong with the models of Victoria's Secret or Sports Illustrated. There isn't that much difference between walking down the runway in a swimsuit and posing in magazine in a swimsuit. I'd say there was even more class in posing in your underwear than wearing a see-through dress or one that exposes your nipples down the runway. I wouldn't say that Gisele, Adriana, Alessandra, Karolina, Tyra, Heidi, or Ana have any less integrity or are any less respectable as models.

 

[melbguy]

Oh please justify it as you will but VS is just a high class X rated catalogue and Sports Illustrated is just a an objectification > How many men (who are straight) are looking at a runway show ( think I can count it on on hand)

 

[slinkymalinky]

does anybody have any details on the David Jones fashion launch in Melbourne?
i wanna go!

i wonder if Gemma will be there too! hope soooooo!!!!!

 

[skot4mc]

slinkymalinky - I went on the david jones website, and theres a link to register for free seats at the launch thing....and now the bad news...all three stores are 'filled' which means no more seats!!! I think you can call some place and get your name put on a waiting list...but the launch is next week, so its unlikely..but you never know!
and as irresistable_loz said, its unlikely gemma would be there, because she was only viewing the launch in sydney and not participating or anything! so i doubt she would go to 2 of them!
but perhaps she will attend the melbourne fashion week shows in September, bigger designers and celebrities...sounds like a good place for Gemma to be! who knows!

scott.

ps. - melbguy, im straight and very interested in fashion (and gemma ), i get kinda annoyed that the fashion industry is stereotyped as a 'gay' industry, we should be able to realise that the diversity of fashion allows ANYONE to be seriously interested.
