Adelaide model Madison Stubbington to walk runway in Monaco for big fashion house.
SIXTEEN year old Adelaide model Madison Stubbington is in hot demand with the biggest names in international fashion, including walking the runway for Louis Vuitton’s first Cruise Resort fashion show in Monaco on Saturday.
Madison, who lives in Northgate with her parents and younger sister, will showcase the luxury brand’s Cruise collection in its first ever showing in the presence of HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco.
The show follows a successful week in New York for the Adelaide teen, who flew out to the Big Apple the morning after wrapping a photo shoot for The Advertiser (seen in today’s issue of SA Weekend), and has since met and worked with industry heavyweights US Vogue creative director Grace Coddington and photographers Annie Leibovitz and Steven Meisel.
From there, she flew to Paris on Tuesday to attend a casting for a global fragrance campaign for a French fashion house that couldn’t be named at the time of publication.
Madison will spend the next few months attending castings and working in Paris after a successful run of five shows in her Paris Fashion Week debut in March, including Louis Vuitton and Saint Laurent, being photographed by Patrick Demarchelier and named as one of the top 40 models to watch by German Vogue.
Her local agent, Pride Models director Christabel Dundon, said Madison was a clear standout of the International Model Competition she won three years ago at Westfield Marion.
“At that stage, she was still 14-years old, but put simply, she is the perfect model: disciplined, dedicated and driven,” Ms Dundon said.
“Her family are supportive of her journey which, for a 16-year old, has been nothing short of phenomenal — I just think ‘Watch this face and remember the name’.”
Madison made the decision to put matriculation on hold to further her modelling career and says that while being away from home is challenging at times, the pay-off is far greater.
“I do miss my family and friends quite a bit — it’s really hard at times but the opportunity to travel and meet some amazing, creative people is too good to miss,” she told The Advertiser.
