March Model of the Month - Ann Alyce Hill

The March Model of the Month is our ‘IT’ girl Ann-Alyce Hill. After she had finished school her parents, family and friends were always suggesting she start modelling but she had many doubts. Finally she was convinced to attend a local modelling competition where she made it to the final and met FRM Director Stephen Bucknall. She is now very grateful that her family and friends pushed her!

“Unfortunately I don’t have the height for runway, but I can make do”.  Her most notable jobs include her on going work with Puma and her favourite campaign with Review “It was an awesome team, very encouraging and relaxed”.

We asked Ann-Alyce what her dream job in the industry would be, she responded “Ummm… I’ve always looked up to the Seafolly models, they get to work in (what appear to be) amazing locations and try the stunning bathers.”.

To stand out from the crowd “I think that my bubbly personality captures peoples attention at castings. People can recognize that I’m a happy and fun loving person at castings so I suppose the clients hope that comes out in the camera too.”

She notes that her personal style is “forever changing. Finding inspiration from other models through social media is so easy to access and getting outfit inspo from other people. But I love basics that’s for sure”. Ann-Alyce tells us she doesn’t have a favourite designer but she finds it best to invest in basics from Country Road and Witchery.

Ann-Alyce’s fashion inspiration is Jennifer Hawkins; “She’s fit and healthy, even when she’s working out she looks immaculate". Ann-Alyce could not live without her sunglasses and her Clinique 3 step skin care, “I’ve been using it for about a year now and I don’t know what I did without it.”

When Ann-Alyce isn’t in front of the camera you can find her living her double life as a nurse, or at Mt Martha beach. She loves trying new restaurants, wakeboarding, keeping fit and coffee dates with friends – “I drink a lot of it when catching up with people”.

Her favourite destination is Croatia, “I’m definitely a beachy girl so being on the water there was amazing”.

“I’m not sure what the future holds, but I just hope I’m happy. I’ve got an amazing family and friends and I’m excited to see what the future holds”.
