Internationally reknowned catwalk model and the official face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, the gorgeous Sally Graham gives us a snapshot into her glamorous and busy life.
What do you love most about the Melbourne Fashion Festival ?
I love that it’s all about what’s in store now. I’ve done shows around the world, and I think that sometimes they can alienate consumers a little bit. MSFW is very accessible.
Melbourne or Sydney for style and why?
Is that a trick question? (laughs) Seriously… that’s like asking if New York or Paris is more stylish. They are both very different. And have very different style. So I cant choose!
You spend eight months of the year travelling to some of the world’s most glamorous fashion destinations for work — what do you do to relax when you have time to yourself?
I like riding public transport in foreign cities. To watch the people. Is that wrong?
Favourite international city to work in and why?
A toss between Tokyo and Milan. They are both full of mad creative people.
