Two young Whitsunday locals participated in the inaugural Cairns Fashion Week in June, modelling a variety of swim and beachwear at the event.
Five-year-old, Roze Vanderpoel and her seven-year-old brother, Jude, have already been invited back next year following a successful strut down the catwalk which certainly grabbed the model scout’s attention.
Their mother, Katrina Vanderpoel, said that Roze had been asking to model since she was three and that it was wonderful to see her daughter’s dream finally become a reality.
“It was an absolute vibe,” she said.
“The kids were so proud of themselves, and I can’t believe how much their confidence grew.
“Roze now wants to be a Doctor and a Model, and Jude wants to be a Firefighter and a Model!”
The two youngsters modelled swimwear from Tribe Tropical and had been coached by Brooke Lee Modelling Agency located in Airlie Beach.
“Thank you so much to the organisers of Cairns Fashion Week and to Brooke Lee Modelling Agency for her dedication to the kids,” said Katrina.
