After seasons off-the-radar, it seems Next's Abbey Lee Kershaw may be returning to prominence. Photographed by Gilles Bensimon and styled by Christine Centenera for Vogue Australia's April issue, the Aussie has ditched her previous platinum blonde hair and returned to her natural color. Her hair color is not the only change; Abbey Lee has tried her hand at acting, and she is to make her acting debut in the highly-anticipated film Mad Max.

Aussie Emily Green has been with Vivien's in her hometown since she was 15, and signed with IMG Worldwide at 19. She's just shown up on the board of IMG London with a boyish new chop. This is her first time overseas, and her look is certain to resonate in the edgy British market.

New Faces- Camilla Rosendal Madsen Height: 5'9.5 (177cm) Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue Agencies: Scoop (mother agency), Women Paris

It seems many agencies are filling their boards with models possessing the ice queen look, and Scoop was quick to, well, scoop Camilla up. She has not booked much work yet, and certainly nothing that could catapult her career, but it only takes one show or campaign. With a look that is becoming increasingly popular within the industry, Camilla is sure to gain exposure.

German newcomer Anna Luisa Ewers (Women) is the face to watch this season. She has been garnering comparisons to Lara Stone and Brigitte Bardot, both of whom are beauty icons. Anna debuted on the Paris runways during the F/W 2013 season, walking for Balenciaga, Giambattista Valli, Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, and Valentino. She made her appearance on the New York runways this season and was photographed by Mert and Marcus for her first Vogue Paris editorial. Her career can only go up from here.

Anna is also represented by Marilyn Paris and Model Management in Hamburg, Germany.
