^ Or 'indigenous people'!

 

[Purpledinosaurxo]

Very excited to see Sam in Vogue Italia, even though It is unfortunate that Vogue Italia had to label it 'Aboriginals', that is plain ignorant. I remember in my Australian history class at Uni it is offensive to label a person an 'Aboriginal'.

I wish she was getting an Ed, if it's a story it will go unnoticed by the the fashion people. People pay attention to editorials, not stories. I don't see this being her big break unfortunately

Here is the article

AUSTRALIA'S indigenous stars have found a new fanbase thanks to the prestigious fashion bible Vogue Italia.

The high-end glossy magazine recently flew to Australia to shoot a story on some of our biggest indigenous names.

Singer and theatre star Christine Anu takes centre stage under the headline "Aboriginal talents".

Pop star Jessica Mauboy also features, as does actor Deborah Mailman, Bangarra dancer Sidney Saltner and David Jones model Samantha Harris. "After appearing on the cover of Vogue Australia (in 2000), I never thought I would appear in Vogue Italia," a clearly chuffed Anu told Insider.

"It's such a great honour to appear in Vogue Italia alongside such talented artists as Deborah, Sidney, Jessica and Samantha."

Acclaimed Milanese photographer Julian Hargreaves flew to Sydney to shoot the Australian stars for the magazine

"There is such a wealth of indigenous talent in this country of ours - and it is great that we are being showcased to the world," said Anu.

We quite agree.

^it says in this excerpt that the headline is "Aboriginal Talents," which would be the correct usage of the term. I'm hoping that's really the title and that they would not be so dumb as to go with "Aboriginals"!

I found a new article

Samantha Harris: A breathtaking inspiration
Samantha Harris aims to be Australia’s first indigenous supermodel. As Rick Molinsky reports, she’s well on her way.
MELBOURNE'S weather isn’t playing fair. We’ve ditched the planned poolside bikini shots due to the threat of rain, but luckily our location at the Millswyn restaurant in South Yarra provides the perfect backdrop for our Summer in the Hamptons-themed fashion shoot. It’s here that we’re waiting for our cover girl, whose flight from Sydney has been delayed.

I’m a little nervous and so is the crew. After all, Samantha Harris was photographed by legendary fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier for US Glamour magazine at the age of 13, and graced the cover of Vogue at 19. We needn’t have worried, because when the breathtakingly beautiful 21-year-old arrives, she’s sweet and shy, ready to work and she’s as excited about eating lunch (she likes French fries) as she is about trying on the clothes we’ve chosen.

Now settled in Sydney with boyfriend Luke Hunt and their two cats, Pegasus and Spartacus, earlier this year she was annointed as David Jones’ Ambassador for Young Women’s Fashion. And though she still loves heading back to the Gold Coast to catch up with family and friends, she’s determined to fulfil her goal of becoming Australia’s first indigenous supermodel.

Meanwhile, she has already emerged as a role model for aboriginal girls around the country. “I love the fact that a lot of young girls look up to me – to aspire to do well in their lives.’’

Harris does more than just talk about empowering indigenous youngsters – she devotes her time to the school charity One Laptop Per Child, which provides indigenous and non-indigenous kids in remote communities with laptop computers, internet access and educational programs. ‘‘It’s to teach the kids that even though you may live far away from all the other kids in the cities, you can have the same connections and do whatever you set your mind to,’’ she explains.

Her own role models are her mum, Myrna (‘‘she’s a strong and determined woman’’), and fellow model and David Jones Ambassador Miranda Kerr. ‘‘She’s done so well in the industry, but she’s also branched out and done other things,’’ she says.

Like Kerr, Harris plans to head to New York to strut the catwalk at fashion week. ‘‘To walk in the Victoria’s Secret parade is my ultimate goal,’’ she says, ‘‘but I’d also like to say I’ve modelled for Gucci and Prada.’’

And like Kerr, she plans to capitalise on her modelling success with forays into business.

‘‘I love that Miranda has her skin care range [Kora Organics]” she says. “I’d love to do something I am passionate about along those lines – which I haven’t found yet. But hopefully as I get older I’ll figure something out.’’

We have no doubt she will.

I am really sick of the aussie media labelling her 'the next supermodel', They have been saying it for like 2-3 years. How does one become a supermodel if they haven't done anything international yet (and I don't mean Dubai, I am talking NY, London, Milan, Paris). The term is used so loosely these days, especially by the Aussie media. If she does not decide to go international next year, I doubt she ever will. One positive from the article is that I like the way she cares about being a role model. It is good to see her doing something with her fame. The stuff she does away from modelling is pretty inspirational

^ All models are "super-/topmodels" in the mainstream media, in the same way all p*rn actresses are "p*rnstars".

It just works like that.

Samantha Harris as the Face of Parlour X Ten Year Anniversary

From earlier in the year

It’s been 10 years since owner and buyer Eva Galambos opened Sydney based boutique Parlour X, known for a lush boudoir aesthetic and gallery-style layout of exclusive and limited edition pieces from the world's most coveted labels.
To mark the occasion Galambos has collaborated with Archibald Prize winning artist and Romance Was Born collaborator Del Kathryn Barton to raise funds for Ian Thorpe’s Fountain for Youth charity, which aims to improve education and health outcomes for Indigenous Australian children.
In celebration, Barton has designed a Parlour X Ten Year Anniversary limited edition scarf which will be available to purchase in store and online, with all money going to the Literacy Backpack Project. The face of the campaign is Samantha Harris, Australia’s first international Aboriginal model, who is a passionate advocate alongside Galambos and Barton.
