We travelled to Manhattan in the middle of a cold snap, with temperatures plummeting to -11 degrees on the day of our shoot with New York model Jessica Clements.
Jessica, 24, was chosen from dozens of girls by our fashion editor Mattie Cronan and photographer Michelle Holden to showcase the best of Australian fashion.
Michelle is a regular contributor to the pages of The Weekly and divides her time between New York and Sydney, where she grew up.
The bright winter sunlight was perfect for capturing the magic of City Hall Park in downtown Manhattan.

At times large crowds gathered to watch the shoot, despite the brutally cold conditions.
Jessica wore designers including RM Williams, Trenery, David Lawrence, Sportscraft, Sussan, Witner, and Esprit.
The Weekly only features affordable fashion that appeals to women of all sizes and ages.
Ms Cronan said the looks featured are perfect for an Australian winter but they were mostly unsuitable for the extreme conditions in New York.
“The look is a classic, preppy American look with a palate of red, white and blue,” said Ms Cronan.
“Each look has a new take on winter, for example, how to wear to shades of navy instead of all black.
“We have also showcased new silhouettes for the season”
The Weekly is in New York for a series of stories which will be featured in upcoming issues.
