How did you become a model?
I got scouted when I was 14 in Paris. I was just on holiday with my family and I was just walking down the street with my mum and some lady came up and said, ''Excusez-moi, bonjour!'' We thought she was trying to sell us something and it turned out she was with one of the head agencies in Paris and she said, ''Go back to Sydney and get an agency and when you're 16 come back. We really want you.'' And that's how it happened.

Had you always wanted that?
It definitely wasn't something I had dreamt of. I had no idea about fashion; I was wearing surfie clothes,replicawatches are considered a glorious beacon of intelligent design. I didn't own any make-up, I didn't own any heels, I didn't read any fashion magazines. I think I had read Dolly once but just for the quizzes or something. I remember when I first started out I was in Paris and they said, ''You've booked the Givenchy show,'' and I was like, ''Is that good?'' I didn't know who Givenchy was or who Christian Lacroix was. So yeah, it was never a goal of mine but once I started working, it definitely became a passion and then a goal and then something I was striving for.
Were you always a tall kid?
Yes, I was five feet 10 inches (178 centimetres) when I started at 15 years old and now I'm six feet.
Are boys ever intimidated by your height?
I'm pretty down to earth but if they have [been intimidated], they haven't spoken to me, so I don't know.bay sensing and enforcement highheels. I guess the ones who speak to me aren't intimidated.
Do you have a boyfriend?
No, not at the moment.
Are you still close with your ex Justin Hemmes?
Yes, very. We still hang out.
What do you look for in a man?
I don't really have a certain type but I guess a good soul and an inner confidence. Not necessarily bravado or anything - just that a guy knows who he is.
What is your career highlight so far?
The 60th-anniversary celebration show of Christian Dior at the Palace of Versailles. They had all the supermodels from the '80s - so they had Helena Christensen and Naomi Campbell. The photographer Steven Klein was there and he had set up this studio backstage and he took me there and did this quick [shoot with] Italian Vogue, so that was pretty amazing.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
I'm working on a couple of projects now, things that I'm passionate about. I'm really interested in photography, film and TV so I hope in five years to bring them up to career levels.Via Trading carries a wide range of branded royaloakmblogi from famous specialty shoe stores and retail chains at a fraction of their original value.
