SA’s ‘new hot face' of Prada’s international catwalk is 16-year-old Murray Bridge schoolboy Kane Parker

A Murray Bridge 16-year-old with red corkscrew curls has stunned the modelling world at Milan Fashion Week as the unknown “new hot face”.

An unknown Murray Bridge teen is officially the “new hot face” of the international modelling scene.

With his red corkscrew curls, Kane Parker, 16, has made his runway debut walking exclusively for big name Prada at Milan Fashion Week.

The Murray Bridge High School Year 11 student had his mum Lisa Parker backstage with him as he prepped for the show on Sunday night (SA time), which she also watched.

The Adelaide agency’s director Brigette Mitchell is a star maker; supermodels Lily Nova and Akiima, who appeared together in a global campaign for make-up brand MAC, are also on her books.

“Kane has an ‘international look’,” Ms Mitchell said, adding that the modelling world was abuzz: “He seems to be the ‘new hot face’.”

Kane has previously modelled in Korea and in a rock’n’roll-inpsired runway show Ms Mitchell staged in Adelaide.

For that appearance he was transformed into icon David Bowie.
