Model Muse - Abbey Lee Kershaw

Abbey's new hair colour. Note: the unique sunglasses she wears are by Australian brand Ksubi, formerly known as Tsubi.


Eclectic street style. How does she pull this off?

Abbey Lee Kershaw would have to be the best (super)model offering from Australia since the ethereal Gemma Ward. She appears to have no inhibitions and has a look that is so malleable, she can be anything. This is obviously why she has been in such high demand for editorials, advertising campaigns (Mulberry, Chanel...), and of course, runway shows. She is a favourite of Karl Lagerfeld, is regularly photographed by Greg Kadel and Terry Richardson and appears to have much more to achieve in fashion. It is refreshing to see such a unique look, a strong catwalk model, and a capturing photographic presence. This is rare among models and I would suggest that she could definitely make it as one of the most important models of this decade and the next. As with Eniko, much of Abbey Lee's photographic work involves nudity, hence I have refrained from posting such photographs, but if you would like to get the whole picture of her work, you can find it at Fashion Gone Rogue. Some of it is tasteful and others I would question the fashion value of. Many thanks to FGR for the use of their editorial pictures.
