For the first time the highly addictive Fashion TV has bought their Diamond Model Awards to our shores looking for the next Australian face with potential to take to the runway. The grand final was held on Monday night – we will bring you the full report from the event soon – yet prior to that FTV graciously invited us into the hotel where the finalists were staying to take some up close shots. Here is a behind the scenes preview of the ladies after they have flown in from around the nation. There are 8 below that I think have the chops for the catwalk, editorial or commercial. Do you have any clear favourites thus far?
