Samantha Harris

^she's too comfortable with her profile in australia.. i STILL think she should try to branch out & go international. her look is unique enough to garner some attention
 
David Jones ambassador Samantha Harris wearing Versace

Part of a recent article from Adelaide's (Australia) 'The Advertiser' by Anna Vlach;)

SHE could be our next supermodel, and Samantha Harris hopes to change a few perceptions. --------------------------------------------------
IF Samantha Harris has heard the talk that she is going to be the first Aboriginal supermodel she is keeping it to herself. Instead, as we chat during her hair and make-up session ahead of our shoot at Gouger St's Royale Lounge bar, she prefers to discuss her hairstyle, plans for her 21st birthday earlier this month, and her engagement last August to 25 year-old builder Luke Hunt - low-key and the only way she would have wanted it.
But there's nothing low-key about her catwalk success. As the face for young women's fashion with top-end department store David Jones, Harris now finds herself in the enviable company of ambassadors Megan Gale and Miranda Kerr. Being associated with the DJ's brand and a pair of household names like Gale and Kerr, "is just a dream come true," she says modestly.
...
I sense that Harris, who once said that she hopes her success is "because I work hard at being a good model", would like to live in a world where racial diversity among models passes without comment. The overseas market is "completely different to Sydney and Australia".
Harris plans to head to New York for castings later this year. "Overseas they've got more ethnically different girls," she says, adding that she would like to have a long career like Heidi Klum or Naomi Campbell.
Later that week, I come across the Shop Til You Drop July issue. Editor Justine Cullen refers to her covergirl as "the beautiful Samantha Harris". No mention of race. Perhaps Harris has already changed the way we see ourselves.
Samantha Harris will be modelling at the David Jones Spring Summer 2011 National Fashion launch in Sydney on August 3.

Samantha Harris to head to New York

Another article suggesting Sam will be going to New York in September:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

SHE is one of Australia's top models, but Samantha Harris admits she is happier on the couch than the catwalk.
The stunning 20-year old Aboriginal-European model told InStyle she loved nothing more than curling up with her fiance, 25-year-old Luke Hunt and watching TV.

"This is daggy, but I love Neighbours and I really enjoyed The Biggest Loser. It inspires me to work out!" she said.

In September the David Jones youth ambassador will follow Miranda Kerr's footsteps to New York for castings.

"I love Miranda's style. It's relaxed, yet always polished. I'd love to be at her status one day," she said.

I don't think we will see her at any of the fashion weeks. Her look is too exotic for her to dominate the runways. I think she will try and get to the VSFS casting, I don't think she will get it, not yet (they like girls with big international profiles). Sam has said in many interviews that she wants to do the Victorias Secret stuff. I don't think we will see her doing high fashion anytime soon, I think she is more than happy to do commercial work.

Samantha in TV Advert Campaign

Just saw the new David Jones TV advertisement. There are two versions; a shorter version just starring Miranda Kerr and a longer version starring both Miranda and Samantha. Sam looks great. Miranda is also stunning especially considering she has just had a baby.:flower:
 
I'm glad she got a job as lucrative as David Jones and opposite Miranda no less. I think i might understand her choice to work only domestically, she is a great role model for the Indigenous community here.
 
^its pics like these that makes me say, "go international honey":) she has a great stand out look with LOTS of potential. she just has to fine tune her work a little & she could have a great career
