CATHERINE McNeil might have once labelled herself a “bogan from Logan”, but that’s not the way the world saw her yesterday as she strutted her stuff on the Paris catwalk.
McNeil made a dramatic entrance for top French fashion house Christian Lacroix in a jet black lace sheath and ruffled gown, stunning the haute couture crowds.
It proved a busy day for the 19-year-old Queensland-born model who had earlier wowed them at Chanel, then later for Givenchy, reports fashion editor Jen Melocco.
She also trod the catwalk for Christian Dior on Monday and is set to step out for Jean Paul Gaultier today.
While the world might be clamouring for her talents according to this down-to-earth Aussie, there’s not much to the glamour gig.
“Shoulders back, stand up straight, move your hips a bit and swing your arms, but not too much. Oh, and don’t fall over,” she explained on her last visit home this year.
