Mannequins
Its “baby face” and its body of sylphid made it possible the young person Australienne Abbey Lee to know a rise fulgurating within the world of the mannequinat. As of its appearance, the fashion sphere thus radically fell in love with its oval with headstock and its capacity to be amalgamated with the objective…
That which lives from now on half of the year in New York (in the district of Williamsburg) has just received the honor to enclose the procession Chanel Haute couture with the arm of Giabiconi Baptist. Without surprise, Abbey Lee was shown perfectly worthy of this favour, and this two years hardly after its first steps on the catwalks (for Erin Fetherston and Givenchy). As much to say that frail Australienne, to which it Model.com site allotted in 2007 the title of “Next Superstar”, knew to hold all its promises…
It is on a beach of Australia located at two steps from it that Abbey Lee was located in 2004. 17 years old, the teenager is then worried hardly fashion, preferring surfer and to pass the remainder of her spare time on sand.
Yes but here is, its thread-like silhouette and its features ultraphotogenic could not pass well a long time unperceived, so that when it crosses the way of a talent scout, this one falls to him under the charm and proposes to him to try its chance in the mannequinat. Its potential is very quickly confirmed by its victory with the contest organized by the Girlfriend magazine, aiming at recruiting its next covergirl.
Thus voted by plebiscite, Abbey Lee decides to take the trade of mannequin a little more to serious and moves in Sydney, in order to work with the local agencies. It ends up signing with Chic Management, which counts among its pupils its compatriot Catherine McNeil, with which it will become very close.
In 2006, its pretty little face appears on the pubs H&M and Levi's, making known it with the international one. Increasingly solicited, it understands that if it wishes to exert this trade correctly, it is necessary for him to be located close to a neuralgic point of the fashion system. It then throws its reserved on New York and joined its new agency: Next Management.
However, it does not only unload in Big Apple: it takes along in its bags her boyfriend, which enables him to open out easily in its new New Yorkean life (not having to suffer from a separation in love).
It then quickly becomes acquainted with Mario Testino (who makes it pose for D&G), then division the poster of the countryside Lord & Taylor with Lauren Hutton. The latter becomes its reference in the medium of the mannequinat, representative in his eyes the woman more inspiring whom it never met. In February 2008, it ravels for Givenchy: its career then is definitively launched…
Since, not a month does not pass without Abbey Lee not appearing in one of the magazines headlights of the medium of the mode. V, Vogues, Number, Dazed & Confused, W or I-D are then as many pretexts to reveal the thousand and one facets of the young woman. She shows there in turn youthful, provocante, glamour and natural…
Besides nothing seems to be taboo for the gracile Abbey Lee: it poses naked, without complexes, kisses other women and changes with an disconcerting ease with the liking of the desires of the largest photographers, among whom Craig McDean, Terry Richardson or Patrick Demarchelier.
If the glazed paper offers a choice place to him, that to say fashion weeks? It ravels indeed as of its beginnings of exclusiveness for Gucci, then truste quickly the passages to symbolic system bankable. In September 2008, it encloses thus shows BCBG max Azria, Diane von Furstenberg, Diesel, DKNY and Jill Stuart, then in September 2009 those of Matthew Williamson, Fendi, Versace and Lanvin. In parallel, it integrates the dream TEAM Victoria's Secret as of November 2008.
Unfortunately, the life of model is not always pink: between the pub campaigns (CK, Gucci), the processions and the shootings of magazines, the young woman becomes exhausted little by little, so that she disappears at the time of the spring presentation/be 2009 of Alexander McQueen. If a too tightened corset and escarpins perched too high are then evoked to justify this faintness, the incident is not frankly reassuring for the health condition of the mannequin, which works without slackening.
At the beginning of 2009, it however becomes the egery of the perfume Flora by Gucci, but is wounded shortly after with the knee, which will hold it far away from the fashion weeks of February. This absence does not start of anything however its approval rating near the creators. As of July, it ravels thus for Givenchy Haute couture, before opening in September the shows D&G, Fendi, Versace and Kenzo. Some then indicate it like the “it” mannequin of the moment…
Of not to doubt, Abbey Lee is far from to have finished some with the fashion sphere, more especially as the atypical personality of this “baby face” has what to fascinate still a long time the small world of the mode. Under its paces of wise headstock, Abbey Lee indeed did not hesitate to be made a piercing in the nostril and the nipple, while it accumulates tattooings. She says besides on this subject which if she were not model, she would like to be made much more. It should be said that she regards her body as a white fabric to decorate…
