Celebrated Australian supermodel Abbey Lee Kershaw is stunning and sullen in the Journal Spring/Summer 2011 issue.
Abbey Lee Kershaw is one of the world's most famous supermodels. Since her discovery at the age of 19 (by Kathy Ward -- the same woman who discovered Samantha Harris and Miranda Kerr), Kershaw's career has seen an upward trajectory that rivals some of the top names in fashion.
Shot by New York-based photographer Maciek Kobielski for the Journal Spring/Summer 2011 issue, Kershaw commanders the shoot with the ease of a veteran, casually displaying an alluring look while maintaining a glum facial expression. The dichotomy in the highly sexual clothing Kershaw is wearing and her facial expressions is what makes the shoot so intriguing -- despite giving so much emotion, it's still hard to discern how she feels.
The Journal S/S 2011 issue is on newsstands now.
