Big opportunity for models
UP-AND-COMING: Papanui’s
Lucy Wyma, 20.
• By Annabelle Dick
TWO NORTH-WEST residents
will strut their stuff at New
Zealand’s most popular fashion
showcase in Auckland this
week.
Rebecca Dore, of Burnside,
and Lucy Wyma, of Papanui,
will take to the catwalk at New
Zealand Fashion Week.
Portfolio Model Agency
director Mel Radford Brown
said the girls are some of the top
within the agency and reflects
the talent Christchurch has to
offer.
“This speak volumes of
Portfolio Models and the calibre
of our models,” Mrs Radford
Brown said.
Miss Dore, 21, is Portfolio
Model Agency’s booker as well
as a model for the organisation.
This is her fourth time walking
at fashion week and she said
she’s thrilled to be a part of one
of the more extravagant shows
of the week.
“I did the wedding show last
year and it was beautiful. It’s
the best show of the week and
it’s exciting to be a bride,” Miss
Dore said.
She has also walked in Australia’s
premier event Mercedes-
Benz Fashion Week in Sydney.
Lucy Wyma, 20, also walked
in the latest Mercedes-Benz
Fashion Week and will be at
New Zealand Fashion Week.
The young up-and-comer
was recently signed to modelling
agency IMG International
which has boasted the likes
of Gisele Bundchen, Miranda
Kerr and Kate Moss.
Georgia Greig, 19, of Ilam,
will accompany the girls in what
will be her first appearance at
New Zealand Fashion Week.
BREAK OUT:
Newcomer
Georgia Greig,
19, lives in Ilam.
Miss Greig only just stepped
onto the modelling scene a year
ago and is excited to show at the
event seeing as she didn’t even
attend the casting for the event.
“It’s pretty overwhelming to
be chosen because being a student
it wasn’t financially viable
to attend casting so I just hung
back and let them know I was
available to be booked directly,”
she said.
The models will walk in the
wedding show tomorrow and
Saturday.
BACK AT IT: Rebecca Dore,
21, of Burnside.
