Miranda Kerr is an Australian fashion model. She was born in 1983. She was raised in the Australian rural town of Gunnedah, and is of Serbian, Iranian, Turkish and Filipino heritage. Kerr began modelling at age 13 after winning the Dolly/Impulse Modelling Competition in 1997. This win sparked significant media attention and controversy over her age and maturity, and the matter of paedophilia and child pornography. Kerr dismissed these claims in an interview, stating; “They were blowing out of proportion. In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with paedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing.” Kerr was described by one fashionista as having an Audrey Hepburnlook. Her success as a model has been phenonemenal and as a result she now appears at high profile fashion shows, while also gaining immense coverage in various campaigns. So far, Miranda’s career has consisted of catwalks, fashion and beauty shoots, as well as TV and magazine advertising campaigns. So far she has modelled for Voodoo Dolls, Levis, Portmans, Jets, Lisa Ho, Veet, Bonds and Peter Alexander, as well as walked for big fashion designers such as Bettina Liano and Nicola Finetti.
