Abbey Lee Kershaw
Birthday: June 12, 1987
Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
Agencies: Next, Chic

Abbey Lee Kershaw may have the big, wide-set blue eyes and sweet, angelic face of a child, but she’s the season’s rebel. She flashed her nipple ring beneath a sheer blouse at Calvin Klein, and wore her nose ring in other shows. And yet, that didn’t stop her from walking the more lady-like runways—Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, and Lanvin. Towering at nearly six feet, she was an exclusive at Gucci in Milan, and opened Givenchy.
