Do you think this Myer model needs to diet before next month’s catwalk?

AS Melbourne Myer castings kicked off, we ask do you think this ambassador really need to go on a diet before next month’s catwalk?

KRIS Smith has begun his pre-modelling detox regime in a bid to look his best on the catwalk next month.

The Myer ambassador admits his strict diet ahead of the Spring/Summer launch on August 7 is more about ego than willpower.

“One year I was in swimmers and I didn’t like it so I’m learning my lesson,’’ Smith said. “It’s a vanity thing, I’ll be honest — I’m too vain to walk down the catwalk like I have in the past.”

Smith said his goals were about looking lean and healthy, which is what Australia wants in its models.

“You’ve got to lead a healthy and honest lifestyle and we’re lucky here in Australia that Myer want athletic and healthier looking models,’’ he said. “In my eyes that’s really sexy in a woman.”

Smith, who was a judge at the castings last year, said he was looking forward to sharing the spotlight again with fellow Myer ambassadors

Jen Hawkins and Kate Peck.

A model casting was held yesterday at Myer in Bourke St, a day after Sydney held a casting.

“I love the Spring/Summer show because you get to feel like a rockstar and can walk down the catwalk in sunglasses and look funky,’’ Smith said.
