The world is opening up for Year 9 Proserpine State High School student Matilda Braney, as she steps into the realm of professional modelling with Sunshine Coast based fashion brand, Belle Le Chic.
In September, Matilda will embark on a month-long international tour with Belle Le Chic, travelling to the likes of Los Angeles, New York, Mykonos, Santorini, Venice, and Milan.
Matilda said that she is so grateful and honoured to be able to follow her passion and start the pathway to fulfilling her dream of becoming an international model.
“Strutting the runways of the Big Apple can innovate and establish your reputation in the industry in the most prestigious fashion event in the world,” she explained.
“It is the ultimate platform to showcase your skills amongst industry insiders, photographers, acclaimed designers, and agents that could potentially open doors to opportunities.”
With Belle Le Chic, Matilda will walk New York and Milan Fashion Week, and be a part of photoshoots on the Greek Islands.
She even has the opportunity to be featured on a Times Square billboard in New York.
Matilda competed with the CQ Rescue Talent Search in Mackay in June, hosted by Brooke Lee Modelling and Deportment School, and was crowned Miss Congeniality for her effort.
Matilda said she hopes that she can be an inspiration for young girls everywhere, especially those from small towns, showing that anyone can fulfill their dreams no matter where you live.
