Two thousand and fourteen hailed a triumphant return for models as their presence dominated the covers of magazines and many of them became social media stars. Interviews with industry veterans Haylynn Cohen, Shirley Mallman, Agyness Deyn, Danielle Z, Claudia Mason, Liisa Winkler, Lisa Cant, Jade Parfitt, Michelle Alves, Anne V, Mini Anden, Nathan Bogle and Scott Barnhill featured heavily. While the world was introduced to Bart Grzbowski, Leebo Freeman, Morris Pendlebury, Justin Hopwood, Dan Murphy, Dorian Reeves, Cory Bond, Toby Sandeman and Ataui Deng all of whom are making their mark in the fashion industry.  

We gained a behind the scenes look with Soul Artist Management founder Jason Kanner, Casting Director Andrew Broz, Trump Model Manager Gabriel Ruas Santos-Rocha and boutique talent agency The Lions. It was a great year for artists too as illustrator Justin Teodoro, photographer Conor Clinch, DJ Jason Eldredge and founder of Hello Mr. magazine Ryan Fitzgibbon emerged as ones to watch. Hairstylist Rhett O’Donnell and colorist Christopher John shared their tips with us while personal trainer Justin Gelband and Pilates instructor Gretchen Johnson talked about the importance of the mind and body connection.

I would like to thank everyone for their unwavering support and belief in my vision. This wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of you.
