As expected, Perth models shone with nine of forty models flown from the west coast. Flame-haired Tiah Eckhardt flown from New York especially for the event.
After the show Eckhardt plans to head home to Perth for a few weeks of well-earned sunshine and R&R with friends and family. Here she’ll regroup and make some important career decisions. “I’ve got many opportunities to do what I want to do in modelling around the world,” said Eckhardt, revealing that she had some exciting opportunities in LA, London and New York.
Ms Eckhardt, 21, has not walked for David Jones in two years but was excited to be back. Her highlights included Alex Perry and Willow “because they are cut so beautifully.”
“It’s a really huge compliment that I have been asked to walk tonight,” said Eckhardt before the show. “I have some awesome outfits – some really sexy trench coats and a Willow outfit that feels really beautiful to wear.”
Eckhart joined fellow WA models, Georgi Aberdein, Paris Fontana, Bronwyn Whitehorn, Simone Kerr, Pip Bingham, Lauren Brown, Erin Thomasz and Stacey Monaghan.
