MELBOURNE model Juliana Forge looks set to follow in supermodel Miranda Kerr's fashionable footsteps.
The brunette beauty heads to New York this weekend for a casting with famous lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, which catapulted Kerr to the international modelling stage.
"It's quite scary, the Victoria's Secret casting. All those girls are amazing," Forge, 18, said. "Miranda's a gorgeous girl and totally inspirational. I'd definitely love to follow in her footsteps."
In the five months since becoming a full-time model, Forge has shot a print campaign for Ralph Lauren in New York and the new Seafolly swimwear campaign with fellow Aussie Jess Hart.
While in New York she will shoot another campaign for Ralph Lauren and is on hold for a cover shoot for German Vogue magazine.
She is on the front cover of the latest Harper's Bazaar as one of Australia's next top supermodels.
"I thought at the start of the year I'd take this year off (she finished year 12 last year) and give it a go," she said.
"I didn't think I'd be working this hard, but it's all so exciting."
Forge said she had been exposed to the challenges of international modeling, going to castings alongside super-skinny models.
"When I was in New York they sent me to a couple of castings and I was thinking, 'What am I doing here? I feel like an elephant'. Some of the girls were so, so skinny," she said.
But Forge said she was determined not to succumb to the pressure to shed weight.
"I'm happy with my body the way it is," she said. "I'm the sort of person that if I was told I was too big, I wouldn't want to model the clothes anyway."
