Australian Fernanda Ly, seen here at Morimoto Restaurant in New York, is one of the fashion industry's most talked-about new models. She rose to prominence when Louis Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière booked her as an exclusive for his Autumn-Winter 2016 show in March 2015.

Scouted aged 16 in her hometown of Sydney, Ly has appeared in the American, British, Italian, Japanese and Australian editions of Vogue, as well as indie fashion titles such as Dazed, i-D, Love and Self-Service.

Until September 2014, Ly was an interior architecture student at Sydney's University of Technology. She left towards the end of her first year.

Ly's interests include anime, arcade games, and ice cream. She counts Chinese kawaii model Eva Cheung as an inspiration.
