It's Fabulous!
My fourth Fabulous magazine cover shoot and fashion spread is in Sunday's Sun.
It was shot in East London when I was over in the UK filming Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model. The photographer Peter Pedonmou and picture director Katie Morris were looking for a high-end, fashion feel shoot with lots of sculpted, architecturally-inspired styling, shot on a set designed like a catwalk.
Some of the clothes were quite overwhelming in size and shape and at times I felt like a walking piece of art. I became a physical gallery for the pieces. It was a big step away from my 'at home Mummy' clothes and a lot of fun.
The playlist in the studio for the day featured songs I thought sounded like the clothes would sound, with a liberal dose of noir to match the all-black theme. We rocked out to AC/DC's Back in Black, Amy Winehouse's Back To Black and, Gwen Stefani's Hollerback Girl (that gave the vibe for the sky-high blue sneakers featured on the cover).
Annie Swain, who worked with me on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model, styled the shoot, with my UK makeup artist Christian Vermaak teaming up with hair stylist Sheridan Ward to perfect the hair and makeup.
Here's what Annie had to say about the shoot:
"The Fabulous shoot was architectural and very Italian Vogue in direction. The fullest, sheerest fabric was required for the lighting and the toughness of the vision suited the direction we'd been going on Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model so we embraced it fully.
"Seeing Dannii in the all-black story – slicked-back hair and looking super-sexy – was awesome. We only had a short time scheduled for the shoot and she nailed it with such professionalism. The pieces we borrowed were overwhelming and unique and all the designers we sourced - including Haizhen who supplied that fabulous dress and Maria who provided the over-sized wrist piece - were so excited to be part of this photographic magic. Peter Pedonmou's pictures are totally impactful and new."
A big thank you to the whole team for making this a 'Fabulous' experience. I have this most recent cover framed and hanging on my office wall… and there is space for another! #HintHint

BRITAIN & IRELAND'S NEXT TOP MODEL - THE SEARCH FOR A NEW CATWALK QUEEN BEGINS
The secret's out: Season 9 of Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model premiers on June 20 at 8pm on Sky LIving HD (and on the move with Sky Go) with a big double episode and I'm so excited to have joined Elle Macpherson and Tyson Beckford on this year's judging panel.
Here's the press release with everything you need to know about this year's show…
London 18th May 2013: Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model is back for a much-anticipated ninth series – and this year, the quest to unearth a fashion beauty just got bigger, with an exciting addition to the judging panel in the form of fashion designer and model Dannii Minogue.
Adding a fresh dimension to the panel, new judge Dannii joins model and actor Tyson Beckford, and her fellow Australian, and host, supermodel Elle Macpherson, as they search the UK for the hottest new modelling talent.
Executive Producer of the show, Elle Macpherson: "I've really enjoyed working with Dannii. She is a powerhouse in fashion and television and this series has benefited from having her perspective on the panel."
This year saw a record number of auditions held across the length and breadth of the country, visiting 17 cities from Plymouth to Glasgow. Thousands of entrants were whittled down to the top 28, who strutted and posed their way to a place at the Top Model Boot Camp. Here, the judges had the difficult task of deciding upon the top 14 girls, who were to make it into the infamous Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model house. With finalists ranging from a former Miss Ireland and a hostess at infamous London nightclub The Box, to a criminology student and a trainee hairdresser, this series looks set to have plenty of tears and tantrums.
Dannii Minogue: "Working with Tyson and Elle has been an absolute pleasure, and the level of talent among the girls is astounding. Each girl brings something special to this competition, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to mentor them through this series."
It is not only Dannii, Elle and Tyson that the aspiring models will have to impress during the course of the series, as there will also be an array of high-profile guests in this series. They will be imparting their knowledge in a bid to help the girls hone and refine their skills, and to continue in their quest to be crowned Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model. This series sees Jade Parfitt, Louis Smith and Jourdan Dunn all help the girls undertake numerous challenges, ranging from underwater shoots, to nude shoots and even a high fashion gymnastics challenge. However, in a series first, the guests no longer vote at eliminations and the power lies solely in the judges' hands with Elle, Dannii and Tyson making the executive decision each week.
The girls are not just battling it out to win the title of Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model, they are also eyeing up a plethora of amazing prizes. Along with the title, the winning model will receive a contract with leading modelling agency Models 1, a cover and feature within Company Magazine, national campaigns with both make-up brand Revlon and hair-care brand TRESemmé, and finally a shopping spree to the stylish city of New York.
Over the course of thirteen weeks, the competition finalists will flaunt their modelling potential at demanding beauty shoots and gruelling fashion challenges, all in an effort to avoid a weekly elimination at the hands of Elle and the panel. With the return of the infamous makeover episode, an awkward accessories challenge and even a nude shoot, catfights, excitement and drama are a guarantee.
Let the UK's biggest catwalk competition commence!
