5 things to know about Fernanda Hin Lin Ly
You probably haven’t heard of her yet, but the girl with pink hair is the new fashion and street style sensation.
With her extra long, candy-coloured hair, Fernanda Hin Lin Ly made a splash last week at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week. The 18-year-old may just be a fledgling, starting out on her international modelling career, but we expect to see her pretty much everywhere soon. Plus, if you are anything like us (somewhat easily impressionable), this spunky fashion sensation will probably make you experience a sudden urge to dye your hair cotton candy pink.
SHE IS AUSTRALIAN
Don't trust her instagram desription "mahou shoujo" -meaning magical girl in Japanese- Fernanda Hin Lin Ly might look really kawaii, she is actually of Chinese origin, though born and raised in Sydney, Australia.
HER HAIR IS HER SIGNATURE
Despite her petite size for a model - she's 171cm - and thanks to her signature hair colour, Fernanda Ly was scouted and signed immediately by Australian modelling agency Priscillas last year. She has since started scoring jobs at Sydney Fashion Week and Australian Vogue Fashion Night Out.
SHE SCORED AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH LOUIS VUITTON
The 18-year-old signed an exclusive contract for Louis Vuitton during the last Paris Fashion Week, meaning she couldn't work for any other brand during that period. This usually marks the start of an IT-model career, so let's see what's next.
SHE'S AN ICE CREAM ADDICT
Seems like models don't actually eat only quinoa and kale. Half of Fernanda's Instagram feed is filled with candy-colored ice cream and she even said that after her modelling career she might consider opening an ice cream shop!
SHE IS BECOMING A STREETSTYLE STAR
With her monochromatic outfits and pony-like hair, the pretty lady gets noticed by street style photographers. The Cut, the NY mag's online fashion magazine, named her best dressed at Paris Fashion Week, which you have to admit is a good start for the 18-year-old!
