Love her . She was the main reason why I got Into models , her face was truly out of this world . She inspired that whole baby doll look in her era , and she was really one of the most sought after models at the time . Truly a unique face with a hint of innocence . She had a very short career , but her impact was huge in the industry . She definitely left her mark in the fashion industry . One of the best Aussie models ever to grace the catwalks .
The face of the new millennium! In retrospect, her look was totally ahead of her time - she literally looks like what Gen Z Instagram models today try to look like through filters.
I think what is more popular on IG are girls who look very commercial youthful appealing as the late victoria's secret angels generation or look Alike as the Kardashian Jenners.
A real game changer in the industry. Started the doll craze. Plus she has this very mermaid 🧜🏼♀️ fairy 🧚🏼♀️ vibe to her, very ethereal and otherworldly.
I remember bumping into her a few times in 2018/2019 when we lived in the same building in nyc. It was my first year modeling in nyc and it was unbelievable seeing one of my 2000’s idol right in front of me. I even said hello to her once and she was so nice and gave me a smile. I dont model anymore but that moment was one of my biggest takeaways from my nyc modeling days. ❤
She's an icon. I still remember how cruel people were about her weight gain at the infamous chanel show - looking back at those pictures, she doesn't even look bad! things were so fucked up back then.
Seriously. I just googled the photos and she was still very thin. “Page Six Magazine contains roughly 2,500 words on Gemma Ward’s fallout from the fashion industry. You see, something terrible happened to her: She gained weight. The piece is a disturbing chronicle of Ward’s transition from teenager to adult and how the industry views it. Now 22, Ward was discovered in Perth, Australia, at the age of 14. She appeared on more than twenty Vogue covers, landing her first American Vogue cover at just 16. She was rail thin, and looked like a beautiful angelic alien creature to the fashion industry. But then in 2007, she walked the Chanel show in a denim bikini shocking one anonymous editor in particular: “I almost didn’t recognize her,” says the editor, who confesses she was aghast. Compared to the other ultraskinny models, Ward looked as if she had gained 10 to 15 pounds, “big, almost bloated.” Coco Rocha has said that when she weighed 108 pounds, at 5’10”, clients told her to lose weight. So how much can Ward have weighed at that show? 120 pounds? And that is, according to the industry, “big, almost bloated.” A photo agent who worked with Ward said that for every model with staying power, there are twenty who don’t make it past age 18 - that time when girls become women, and grow breasts and hips, and gain the weight that is a natural part of growing up.” That was just the era of fashion where it was normal for models to be regularly hospitalized from malnutrition and complications from ed. Many of them died. I hate the return of heroin chic that’s currently happening. Even the kardashians are trying to be super skinny.
Honestly everyone talks about the 90s fashion as the greatest moments in fashion with models and clothes but I honestly enjoy the the early 2000s just a little more
Superb video (like all the ones you do)!!! Just the right music, fashion shows, video quality... And also Gemma Ward! One of the greatest! Just chef kiss
Sasha has her chin more angular and has more edgy face, for me Gemma was the most perfect out of all the doll models, her eyes are so ethereal like an angel, she transmits me a calm nice feeling when I look at her pictures that didn't happened me with any other model
@@mikaelemafi4618 I was comparing her with the rest of the doll face era models of that time. I remember in forums they use to say she has a small head but I counter argued that her head is normal size is just her shoulders are really broad giving the illusion that her head is small.

She is the defining face of that era. It's already written in fashion history.
Gemma truly was the model of the moment! Her runway and ad campaigns she did for Prada have forever cemented her place amongst the greats!
The face of the new millennium! In retrospect, her look was totally ahead of her time - she literally looks like what Gen Z Instagram models today try to look like through filters.
She has this kind of look that they’re trying to achieve in Social Media nowadays. Very eleven almost like coming from an animation.
@@Vicente_Vasquez Exactly!

Still trying babes
Frr

No one can't deny that she is the No. 1 model of her era.
What about Daria?
@@JMLCK78 Daria started earlier than her. She is from different generation. She is also No. 1.
@@JMLCK78 Daria definitely opened more shows than Gemma at that time. Gemma probably got more campaigns
Vlada is better
@@bbhouk1 she is an unknown model. Gemma is one of the few in their gen who achieved supermodel status.

Karl loved her so much too :

@@ripwednesdayadams Pencil Thin was the popular term in tumblr way back. :/ She's still working now as a model in Australia so there's that.
and after the loss of a friend too
Same for Natasha Poly during first pregnancy (in 2013) and Tanya Dziahileva after she lefts the industry.
She is face like a Barbie doll and the portofolio of her Covers Magazine is stunning💥🔥😍💗

Me toooo
The Exotic Blonde. The face that launched the doll face era. The Queen.
An Editorial QUEEN, in her time.
Superb video (like all the ones you do)!!! Just the right music, fashion shows, video quality... And also Gemma Ward! One of the greatest! Just chef kiss
Thank u so much 💖
Ethereal, out of this world beauty.

Real Icon model 2000 era

Gemma was the truth ❤
I still can't get over somebody saying that Sasha Pivovarova looks like her evil twin
Love that ahaha
I prefer Sasha ☺️
Sasha has her chin more angular and has more edgy face, for me Gemma was the most perfect out of all the doll models, her eyes are so ethereal like an angel, she transmits me a calm nice feeling when I look at her pictures that didn't happened me with any other model
I always thought her shoulders were really broad! So I'm not surprise the weight would catch up to her to match those broad shoulders...
But most models have broad shoulders.

It’s so sad what happened to her…not her body but how the media was so cruel
@@olg06 God what a mean comment, no wonder women hate having broad shoulders.
🥰 MUSA
She looks like an anime or something
