Full Miranda Kerr Biography
Miranda Kerr (born April 20, 1985) is an Australian fashion model who is currently based in New York City. She was discovered by Dolly magazine in 1997 and is well-known for campaigns with Maybelline, Victoria's Secret and Australian fashion chain-store Portmans.
Kerr was born in Sydney, Australia, and raised in the small rural village of Gunnedah, which has a population of 8000. She is the eldest child of Therese and John Kerr, and has a younger brother named Matthew. She was educated at All Hallows in Brisbane, which is an all-girl Catholic high school.
At the age of 13, she entered the Dolly/Impulse Covergirl Competition in 1997 because her friends had entered her into it. She signed a modelling contract with Melbourne's Chadwick agency, followed by Sydney's Chic agency.
She took up part-time modelling whilst studying, and as her fame gradually increased, the local media used her youth as an opportunity to debate about pedophilia in the fashion industry.“All the media attention was absolutely ludicrous. I don't think it would have mattered how old I was, they would have still made it out to be something it wasn't. I was more concerned about Dolly magazine's reputation. I was fine, I just didn't didn't take any notice of it all," she said at the time.”
Kerr became the face of Australian fashion chain store Portmans. She was now well-known in the fashion industry in Australasia making frequent stints in Australia and New Zealand's top fashion magazines, fashion catalogues and catwalk shows. As well as this, she appeared in television adverts for brands such as Portmans, Bonds and Veet.
In 2004, she then moved to New York City and was signed to Next agency. To date, Miranda has modelled for the likes of Baby Phat, Lisa Ho, Voodoo Dolls, Levi's, Bettina Liano, Nicola Finetti, L.A.M.B, Heatherette, Betsey Johnson, Trelise Cooper, Jets, John Richmond, Blumarine Swimwear, Seafolly Swimwear, Victoria's Secret, Anna Molinari, Roberto Cavalli, Enrico Coveri, Arden B, Cia Maritima, Amuleti J, and magazines such as Elle, Oyster, Madison, Australian Vogue, Harpers Bazaar and more.
Kerr was recently signed as the face of Californian fashion retailer Arden B. After debuting in their Spring and Summer ad campaigns, Kerr returned for their Fall 2007 campaign, shot by world- renowned fashion photographer Diego Uchitel.
