"I came to watch my friends. I was sitting there in the crowd when the agent from Perth came over. I did not even desire to enter; it was a bit of possibility. I was so shocked when I got my 1^st job."

First Job - Vivien's Model Management:

Although she didn't win the contest, Gemma Ward's unique look intrigued many of the scouts on hand, & she was soon signed to Vivien's Model Management.

Gemm Ward Joins the Roster of IMG:

With Fox helping to guide Ward’s career, Gemma Ward landed on the cover of Australian Mark magazine & later made her runway debut at the “Mercedes Australian Fashion Week”. That minimum amount of exposure together with Ward's massive potential was enough to land her a spot on the roster of IMG, the same influential international modeling agency that represents Gisele Bundchen & Heidi Klum. IMG wasted little time in recommending Gemma Ward to Russell Marsh, the man liable to cast Prada's runway shows.

Gemma Ward Hits the Runway:

Gemma Ward promptly starred in Prada's runway show that October & was used in the company's high-profile ad campaign that season as well - giving her a huge global presence. Additional advertisements for Versus, Jill Stuart, Jil Sander, Balenciaga, & YSL soon followed.

Youngest Model, Chosen to be in a Vogue photo shoots:

Gemma Ward saw her profile increase even more the next year when Vogue handpicked her to appear on their cover as one of the planet's nine most promising "It Girls." Only 16 at the time, the honor made Gemma the youngest model to grace the magazine's "It Girl" feature section. It also put her in the company of other top models like Karolina Kurkova, Gisele Bundchen & Natalia Vodianova.

Gemma Ward has since appeared in over 50 designer shows & she has graced the covers of fashion magazines around the world, including W, Vogue & Teen Vogue. She also made a memorable splash on the small screen with a starring role in John Mayer's music video for "Daughters."

As popular as she already is, yet Gemma Ward has a huge potential to fulfill.
