With Miranda Kerr's secret marriage to Orlando Bloom, the hunt is on for a new fashion ambassador for David Jones.

It's not just because a honeymooning Kerr will be absent from the department store chain's crucial August 3 spring/summer collection launch at a perilous time in its history - it has also been widely speculated that she's pregnant.

Next week's fashion launch was never going to be easy. For the first time in a long while, it has been moved back to the store itself, with the number of guests trimmed down and lots of the so-called A-list's noses out of joint as no invitation was forthcoming.

David Jones is still rocking from the aftershocks of the recent scandal that resulted in former CEO Mark McInnes resigning over a sexual harassment allegation.

Like many retailers, DJs has also experienced a tough season because of several factors, including rising interest rates, pre-election jitters, a late start to winter and a less-than-enthusiastic embrace of the sales period.

Retailers such as David Jones, need all the help they can get - especially in the form of one of the world's most beautiful models - to make all their clothes look scrumptious on the runway and get customers excited about the new season.

According to her closest circle of friends, Kerr is pregnant, which also makes her an unlikely chance to shoot the forthcoming autumn/winter catalogue or walk in next season's show.

Then there's the all-important launch of the spring racing season, which culminates in the much-publicised David Jones Caulfield Cup in Melbourne in October.

A pregnant Kerr with Bloom trackside would undoubtedly attract world-wide coverage.

DJs is playing down the issue. "Orlando Bloom has never made it to Caulfield," a David Jones spokesman said, "and we don't need Miranda to fill a marquee.

"What's more, we have a long-term contract with Miranda and she is fully committed to promoting the store."

With her Victoria's Secret commitments, Kerr isn't going to stop striding the runway any time soon.

But the David Jones contract is a little more rigorous, especially as it involves long trips back and forth to Australia, as well as the store catalogues shot on location.

So who will be the next big name to grace the runway, with both Kerr and Megan Gale now on the sidelines?

Finding an ambassador with Kerr's credentials is a tough ask. Not only is she beautiful and well connected, she's squeaky clean.

Insiders reckon a coup for David Jones would be to relaunch actress/model Gemma Ward or exclusively sign beautiful Aboriginal model Samantha Harris and maybe Jess Hart, who was recently nabbed by Myer but may be persuaded to defect.

Among the names being tossed around are David Jones's guest ambassadors for the spring/summer season, including Abbey Lee Kershaw, Nicole Trunfio, Catherine McNeil (an unlikely choice because of her tattoos and her dramatic love life - she recently split from girlfriend Ruby Rose) and Alexandra Agoston.

She will be hard to replace, but I think it's a bit early to start doing so.
There's no official word she's preggers (then again maybe they know something we don't) and even if she is it doesn't mean she'll never work again. Plenty of models have bounced back. Giselle only took, what, two months to get back into shape?

Anyway, I love the recent photo shoot. Both VS and the other one. She's so perfect.

 

[supermodel]

sorry if i'm very much behind, but has the weddding even been confirmed by either camps yet?
i'd just wanna know so that we don't sstart jumping to pregnancy accusations right away lol

 

[Captain_Lydia]

I don't think it came from either camp, but there was the DJ statement/letter where they said she thanked them for letting her out of her commitments so she could honeymoon. I'm guessing they wouldn't do that if it was only a rumor. Than again, maybe the statement isn't real. It sounded pretty official.

 

[McClaire]

Barely recognized her in the Numero ed. She does great work with them.

The wedding is official definitely. I think Miranda's camp already confirmed it. And well, Miranda made the statement herself.

She will be hard to replace, but I think it's a bit early to start doing so.

I agree she would be hard to replace. But I guess DJ's is looking for someone to take Miranda's duty while she's pregnant - and that's if she's pregnant. She still has long-term contracts with DJ's and VS that she can't easily escape. I can imagine her getting back into shape after pregnancy and coming back better then ever. And we'll get to see a mini Miranda/orlando so it's a win-win situation.

Anyways, thank you Tani for the VS photos! She looks amazing.

There were news about two month ago that Jessica Hart chose to work for Myer instead of becoming David Jones' new spokesmodel. I have no clue about these things, but it would make sense if the issue came up because Miranda wanted to quit, no?

Anyway, her being pregnant would be wonderful and I really hope it's true.

 

[Melly5525]

Love the pic from the Prada lookbook, she owned that dress, and the Numero edit blew me away, noone can ever say shes just a commercial VS model after seeing how fierce she looks in that ed!

 

[tanii94]

I'd say they'll just have Megan at the Caulfield Cup. Is there any other model in Oz as popular as Miranda right now?

 

[helen-rox]

^Nope, there are not that many models that are house hold names (that are not already signed with DJ's eg. Megan or under contract with Myer)

 

[tanii94]

Hmm.. Maybe they'll get Elyse?

And so it begins...

My God I adore that Numero editorial Incredible.

 

[whippie]

grazia.ninemsn.com.au

LOL!

ETA: Also, I doubt they'd use Elyse either. She has a notorious love life like Cat McNeil. I'd say they'd go for Abbey- with her VS work, the Australian public would know of her more than any of the others.

 

[tanii94]

The tabloids are only gonna get worse.

I'd say they might pimp out Abbey. DJs love Alexandra and Nicole as well, though.

 

[vanessaxox]

Remeber that book she was going to write for teens called TREASURE YOURSELF? was it ever realeased? or is it already out?

 

[WhiteQueen]

Should be realeased next november in Australia and NZ.
