Miranda Kerr
Mar 29th, 2008 by lingerie
At thirteen, Kerr entered and won the 1997 annual Dolly Magazine/Impulse Model Competition and was flown to Sydney a week before her fourteenth birthday to shoot for the magazine. Upon winning, local media expressed ‘concerned outrage’ at her young age and rose concern about the glorification of young girls within the entertainment industry, suggesting her youthful covers in skimpy attire constituted soft-core pornography. Media publications also took her youth as an opportunity to debate the objectification of young girls within the fashion and beauty industry, with some conservative media outlets claiming her Dolly shoot (including images of fourteen year old Kerr in bathing suits) constituted child pornography. Of the press, Kerr said: “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.”
Following the mixed-reactions to her break-out Dolly Magazine fashion spread, Kerr chose to pursue modeling part-time while studying, however as her local fame increased, Kerr was forced to continually defend her professional choices against the continuing public backlash and suffered emotional distress following the death of her high-school boyfriend during her final year of schooling. Eventually overcoming the trauma, Kerr signed to Chadwick Models Melbourne Division after graduating high-school, followed by Chic Model Management Sydney Division and found modeling success in both her native Australia and in Japan before relocating to New York after a series of beach-ware campaigns, predominantly for Australian surf chain Billabong (in which Kerr modeled for surf brands Tigerlily, Roxy, Billabong Girls and One Teaspoon) receiving commercial exposure in both the Australian and Asian markets.
