Gemma Ward
(NEW YORK) Proving that Kate Moss shouldn’t be the only supermodel to get an issue of
Vogue, Gemma Ward just wrapped her own issue of the Condé Nast title. Calvin Klein’s latest “obsession” edits the December issue of
Vogue Australia—fitting, since she hails from the land down under. In the issue, Ward recounts, in detail, her experiences from the recent New York, Milan, and Paris shows for a fashion runway diary that was documented by photographer Malon Stolzman. “When models do diaries of their fashion week experiences, you never know if they are real,” said Maja Edmonston, Ward’s manager at IMG Models. “She really documented every day of fashion week, every night she went out, every fitting. She went through the process to really give an idea of yes, that it can be glamorous but exactly how much they work those six weeks.” [IMG Models, like
The Daily, are both part of IMG]
In addition, Ward selected a portfolio of never-before-seen images of herself from backstage, at parties, and at fittings that will be published in the issue. Meanwhile, the cover, which was shot by Patrick Demarchelier (who also captured a feature story inside on Ward) on a rooftop in New York, features an exclusive interview with Marc Jacobs, which she conducted immediately following his spring ’06 show. And though she’s quickly become a superstar in her own right, there’s no sibling rivalry between Gemma and her older sister, Sophie, who is also given a feature story.
