Amazing news, hope her editorial and cover are as well done as her last Vogue Australia editorial!

i was really dissapointed she didnt show up at the FW's in NYC, Paris, Milan etc ... did she walk in London at all?

cant wait for her Vogue cover ... here is a pic that seems to be an out take from that ed that i dont think is here yet?

She's gorgeous but I feel like there's something... off about that cover. I can't figure it out though.

^I think it's the background. Usually they use a colour that clashes with the font so that it's eye-catching but they've selected a shade that looks weird with the font

..but look at her definitely my favourite Aussie model now, maybe she couldn't do Europe and NYFW because of Visa problems or something like that

 

[HeatherAnne]

Absolutely amazing on the cover, she has a grace beyond her years, stunning

Love the cover, she looks amazing! Though her chest is a little too airbrushed. Otherwise, lovely!

Aboriginal model a stir at Fashion Week

From smh.com.au and several other sites:

Aboriginal model a stir at Fashion Week

May 4, 2010 - 12:04AM

AAP
The face of Aboriginal model Samantha Harris has created a major stir on the Australian Fashion Week runway.
The stunning beauty, who transformed herself from a beauty pageant hopeful who wore op shop clothes into a Vogue Australia covergirl, has emerged as the essential drawcard at Fashion Week, which kicked off in Sydney on Monday.
At just 19, Harris is scheduled to appear for 18 designers including Lisa Ho, Camilla, Dion Lee, Rachel Gilbert and Alex Perry, many of whom will use her to open their shows.

She proved herself a fast-rising star by landing a Vogue Australia cover, 17 years after the magazine last featured an Aboriginal model in the coveted spot.
But she's no overnight success story.
Harris started modelling when she was 13 and had worked her way up before Vogue Editor-In-Chief Kirstie Clements felt she had the maturity to be the face of the fashion bible's June issue.
Now, Harris feels ready for the spotlight.
"It took a while to build up to this, so I'm definitely ready now for success," Harris told AAP backstage at RAFW.
"I hope I get a huge cult following."
Harris realised her dreams of modelling only after she endured years of rejection in beauty competitions while the family struggled to finance the striking beauty's ambitions, says her mother Myrna Sussye.
"It was a bit sad, because we would go to competitions and we'd hear other girls with their parents spending $500 on outfits, and we just go to the op shop," Sussye said.
"I would say to Samantha: 'It's okay, I'll take them home, wash them up and iron them and you'll look beautiful, anyway.
"Beauty is from within, anyway, and so I would always say to Samantha, you've got to be beautiful on the inside before it becomes visual.
"That's my Mother's Day present, the (Vogue) cover," adds Sussye.
"I love it ... That was one of the goals, to get the cover of Vogue, and she's made that one as well."
Harris describes the experience of appearing on Vogue's June cover as "so strange, it doesn't seem real".
"It's really overwhelming and it's different to seeing yourself on the cover as opposed to inside the magazine."
Proud father Andrew Harris, who travelled from the Gold Coast with Sussye to celebrate his daughter's breakthrough, says she was always unique.
"She's always being different and there's something special about her," he says.
"She's just pure beauty."

Amazing on the cover. It's about time Miss Harris was on it! She's been such a staple in Autralian fashion for years.

I'm curious about this Balenciaga thing

 

[verna_gold]

I'm so glad she's finally getting some recognition, it seems like we've been following her and waiting for this for so long. I hope this is just the beginning.

apologies for multiple posts, the ozVogue website is ridiculously difficult to navigate

Vogue.com.au celebrates in style with Samantha Harris

It was a tenth birthday party like no other. Fairy bread was traded for Peking duck pancakes and red cordial was substituted with Rosemount’s finest plus the odd litre or ten of French.
Vogue.com.au blew out 10 birthday candles at the Rosemount Bar, to welcome reviewer Tim Blanks to their team for Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.
Fashion’s finest, including Kit Willow, Nicky Zimmermann, Akira Isogawa, Josh Goot, Anitpodium’s Geoffrey J Finch and Camilla and Marc Freeman joined beauty supremo Napoleon Perdis for the on-trend toast.
So what do you give the website that has everything? Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements unwrapped the best present, the cover of the magazine’s June issue starring Samantha Harris.
“It was only a few months ago that I was first in the magazine, and now I’m on the cover,” Harris said. “This is amazing.”
And for a 10 year old vogue.com.au stayed up way past its bedtime.
