This past weekend I was flipping through the Financial Times’ How To Spend It when I spied Australian model Christina Carey in the fashion editorial “Mutinous Bounty”.  

I’ve caught glimpses of her backstage and on the runway in New York and San Francisco – each time noticing her striking natural beauty and versatility – able to look modern, androgynous, ultra-feminine, or from another era altogether.
