Miranda Kerr lit up the catwalk last night at the 2008 David Jones Summer 2008 Collection launch, where the stunning Gunnedah-raised model debuted as the new face of the Australian retail giant.
Opening the show in hot pink swimwear by Jets, accessorised with a dazzling feathered headpiece, Miranda looked every inch the international star as she strutted the runway in place of newly-appointed brand ambassador Megan Gale.

Throughout the show, which was held at Sydney’s Royal Hall of Industries, leading designers such as Collette Dinnigan, Alex Perry, Akira, Ginger & Smart, Willow and Zimmermann revealed a number of sizzling hot summer designs, with bright neon pinks, sparking metallics and sequinned mini dresses the key trends of the new season.
Making a return to the catwalk were 50s-style full skirts with cinched-in waists — a key feature of Alex Perry’s designs — as well as long, feminine and floaty dresses, with bold patterns and bright colours.
The setting of the show, entitled Summer in the City, took its theme from the Rio de Janiero carnival and catered to more than 600 VIP guests, celebrities and media.
Megan Gale, seated in the front row, seemed to give her stamp of approval to her 25-year-old successor, smiling throughout and embracing Miranda at the close of the show.
