Model of the moment Bridget Malcolm sent the paparazzi into a spin when she arrived for the show looking effortlessly chic.

While the Christopher Esber show was a less star studded affair, Aussie father-daughter duo Napoleon and Lianna Perdis were both in attendance.

Lianna was walking in her very first fashion show.

“To be walking at NYFW for a homegrown, Australian fashion designer is humbling (and super exciting) to say the least,” the young model said.

“When Christopher asked me to be a part of his show, my immediate answer was, yes! I adore his work and am humbled to have been chosen to showcase his designs.”

Makeup mogul dad Napoleon also worked on the show and said he was proud of his daughter.

“Having Lianna walk her first NYFW show showcasing prominent Australia fashion designer, Christopher Esber’s designs is beyond wonderful,” he said.

“I’m so proud of how humble, professional and focused Lianna is. She continues to make her mother, sisters and I very proud.”
