Former student and professional model Sabine Jamieson dropped in to give a few tips to the WAVE models during final rehearsals this week. Sabine, who was runner-up in the 2016 series of the TV show Australia's Next Top Model, said WAVE week at Shearwater felt like "coming home".
"This school really nurtured my creativity and my confidence," said Sabine, who is hoping to be accepted into the National Art School in Sydney next year. "I actually have a costume I created for WAVE in 2012, with my sister and my friend, in my portfolio!"
Sabine, who is signed with a Sydney modelling agency, said she'd had some great experiences, and described the fashion industry as "not as pretentious as you'd think".
"It's been great for my confidence and putting myself out there, and I like working with a creative team of people like designers and photographers. But I'm not that interested in fast fashion and consumerism."
"I want to study painting. I did a lot when I was at school here but for some reason I stopped when I moved to Sydney to live with my grandparents in Year 10. It was just a different lifestyle, I guess. What I'd really love is to be a curator. But I'll start with painting and see what happens!"
