There was a time once in my life where i could watch any paris, milan, new york or london fashion week show and tell you the name of every single model that came down the catwalk. i miss those days, but school seems to have taken over and i found that music became a bigger part of my life leaving less time for other things. i guess because it was much less unattainable than what i saw every month in vogue. its sad really. i hope i get back to that place once more again some day.
but the point is i had a favourite and anyone who knew me between the years of 2004 and 2008 knew that i loved the australian model gemma ward:
i used to have arguments with people who said she looked like an alien.
i used to tell myself id marry one of her younger twin brothers so that i could be her sister.
i even knew that her best model friends were daria werbowy and lily donaldson:
it was an obsession to say the least which i grew out of. i wonder though, had she not given up modeling, would i still be obsessed with her?
So this post is a tribute to her. these are a few of my favourite pictures of her. i have memories attached to each of them, i could never explain it all to you. i doubt you'd understand.
youve got no idea how many times ive looked at that picture
i used to plaster these on my school text books
