Aussie Model Dismisses Drugs

Australian supermodel Gemma Ward has rejected suggestions the fashion industry is rife with drug abuse, saying the notion of cocaine-snorting catwalk queens belongs to a different era.

The 17-year-old - toasted by Time magazine as the new "It Girl" - is adamant she will not share the fate of Kate Moss, the British model dumped by Burberry, Chanel and H&M after being filmed snorting cocaine last week.
"It's quite shocking," Ward told The Australian as make-up artists preened her backstage before the Prada show yesterday.

"There are a lot of stories but, to be honest, I think it was a generation that has gone by.

"My friends and all the girls I know are so far beyond that. I feel that things have changed.

"If you look at the girls here, they're young, sensible girls who are going to school.

"They have lives outside of modelling. They're totally in control of what they're doing. They're constantly going home, and have a great support system."

In a career coup, the doll-faced teenager gazes from the cover of Time's style issue, launched in the Italian fashion capital yesterday to coincide with fashion week.
"I feel very privileged," she said. "It will go down in my books as one of the memorable parts of my career, that I'm really quite proud about."

Despite her years, Ward is a veteran of the international fashion circuit. In recent months she has posed naked to promote Calvin Klein's fragrance Obsession, fronted campaigns for Prada, Burberry, Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent, and made history as the first covergirl for Chinese Vogue.

When the fashion caravan moves on to Paris next week, she will grace the cover of French Vogue. French couturier Christian Lacroix chose the New York-based teenager to close his last collection for Emilio Pucci yesterday, statuesque in an intricately pleated white gown.

"I love her. She's special," the designer enthused. "She's so different from the other girls. She has an energy which is quite settled, discreet and so unusual.

"And everything she wears is as ideal as we could wish when we first do the sketch."

Lacroix announced he would leave the famed Florentine fashion house to concentrate on his own design label, which Pucci owner LVMH sold to a rival retailer, the US Falic Group, this year.

In his parting collection, the designer tamed Pucci's hallmark psychedelic prints, producing 1960s silhouettes in subtle hues of blue, beaded black dresses and crocheted skirts as delicate as white lace.

In search of simplicity, Miuccia Prada whitewashed the lady-like look that has dominated women's wardrobes for the past few summers.

Spurning sparkle, the trend-setting Italian designer paraded simple silhouettes in luxuriously light fabrics, fresh as a lick of paint.

Drop-waisted dresses, streaked like whitewash, featured pleats fanning from the back, or else at the hip. Sleeves puffed out of otherwise simple tops and unfussy frocks.

Ward was not the only famous Australian seen in Milan yesterday. Singer Natalie Imbruglia showed up at Alberta Ferretti's show, shedding her trademark streetwear for a sophisticated black-and-white strapless gown. Later, she partied at the opening of a new boutique for Italian label Liu-Jo.

Thank you so much! Karma for you!
