Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr was born and raised on a farm in Gunnedah, Australia.  She began modeling after winning the Dolly/Impulse Modeling Competition in 1997.  Her win sparked significant media attention and she became the most sought-after new face, but she waited to begin modeling full time until after she finished high school.  She then went on to study nutrition and health psychology at the Academy of Natural Living before she chose modeling as her career.

Miranda's career has consisted of a mix of high profile runway shows, fashion and beauty shoots, as well advertising in television and print.  She has appeared on the covers and inside pages of numerous magazines, including British Harper's Bazaar with Michelangelo di Battista, Ocean Drive Magazine, and British GQ. Most recently, Miranda secured the July 2009 cover of "The Green Issue" of Australian Rolling Stone.

In 2008, Victoria's Secret signed Miranda as its newest Angel.  She was the first Australian model ever to appear in a Victoria's Secret runway show. 

Her campaign work includes Victoria's Secret, Maybelline, Levi's, Blumarine, Rock & Republic, Clinique's "Happy" fragrance, and Abercrombie & Fitch.  She can currently be seen in the Spring- Summer 2009 advertisements for XOXO and is the face of the Australian department store David Jones.  Miranda has also graced the runways for designers such as Anna Molinari, Betsey Johnson, Rachel Roy, Trovata, Tracy Reese, Just Cavalli, Baby Phat, Rock & Republic and L.A.M.B., amongst others.

Miranda appeared in the Pharrell and Kanye West music video "Number 1", as well as the debut music video for the band Tamarama, "Everything to Me."  She starred as herself on a guest spot on an episode of the CBS hit show, "How I Met Your Mother".

Miranda currently resides in New York City.
