Duckie Thot is more than just a model – she’s a force of nature. With her striking beauty and unapologetic presence, Duckie has carved out a space for herself in an industry often hesitant to embrace individuality. Her rise from Australia’s Next Top Model to walking for some of the biggest luxury brands in the world speaks to her undeniable magnetism.
At her core, Duckie's not just breaking boundaries; she’s rewriting the rules. Each appearance, whether on the runway or in campaigns, feels like a statement – one that challenges conventions of beauty and representation. In our inaugural Beauty Annual issue, she brought all of this energy to the forefront, unafraid to experiment with light and shade, both in beauty and in front of the camera.
With her signature presence and fearless attitude, she’s a reminder that the future of fashion is bold, diverse, and unstoppable.
