Vi, who was born in New Dehli, moved to Adelaide as a child.

It’s four year since she was discovered by Finesse Models Australia’s Brigette Mitchell.

Signed on the spot and identified by the Sunday Mail as one of 20 South Aussies to watch in 2020, Vi has been in demand here and overseas ever since.

She has graced the pages of Vogue Arabia, French Marie Claire and UK Elle, and appeared in campaigns for international labels such as UNIQLO and Ralph Lauren, plus Australian names David Jones, Scanlan Theodore, Country Road, Peter Alexander and Mimco.

There’s also been beauty work for Armani and Napoleon Perdis, and a star turn for prestigious diamond jeweller De Beers.

Finesse Models Australia, which also has supermodels Lily Nova and Akiima on its books, is Vi’s mother agency, but she is also signed with Elite Worldwide.
