Growing up…

It was a huge thing for me being Asian in Perth – I always felt like the minority for sure. Even in modelling, I felt that I was disadvantaged to some degree, but I just feel so lucky now that I can be a role model for young Asian girls. I just wish I had more of that growing up.

I was on a reality TV show…

Ages ago, I was working in Korea and they created a reality show based around my life. They followed me around to all my photoshoots, and just shot what I was doing over there.

The best thing about being an ambassador for David Jones…

I love being able to meet incredible people. I just got to work with Daniel Johns on the latest Spring Summer show… but the clothes are incredible too. It’s also great to be a voice for this brand – it’s a big deal, it’s quite surreal.

On the catwalk…

I try and just listen to the music and have fun. I think this season is all about fashion inspired by music. I just want to be free and relaxed and just enjoy it all; versus being like “oh my god I don’t want to stack it, what am I doing!”

My favourite fashion brand…

I love Jac + Jack for all of their casual, comfortable clothes.  I love wearing things that I can just wear every day and that I can relax in, and I can just throw a pair of jeans on with. I just like comfort.

As for beauty…

I’m really into Caudelie’s Beauty Elixir spray, Guerlain’s Super Aqua-Eye Anti-Puffiness Soothing Eye Patches and SK-II’s Facial Treatment Masks. I’d also love to start my own beauty brand possibly in the future… I am definitely working on something.

My favourite workout…

It’s definitely hot yoga at the moment because you just sweat and it’s a great stretch and it’s very toning for the body.

The best song to exercise to…

The new Calvin Harris song ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ – it’s so good.
