NEW YEAR. New Start. No doubt like me, as you have scrolled through your social media feeds you’ve been hit with countless inspirational content purposed to politely encourage you to get your ass into gear and create your best year yet. Twenty-18. The year to slay!

So we’ve decided to jump on the band wagon, AMFAM style, to bring you life hacks and advice from some of our favourites.

Between them they stomp the runways, can claim the coveted title of supermodel, grace the covers of Vogue, hold college degrees majoring in the likes of political science, economics and criminal psychology, have made the Forbes annual highest paid models list for 2017, and ….yes there are even some angels amongst us.

But it doesn’t stop there, from swimwear and fashion lines to holding infamous TED talks with record views (in the vacinity of a cool $21 million) and using their voices to lead us in social and industry change, these women are building their empires one day at a time.

There is no denying their influence. From Kendall to Kate Moss (we bow down) we’ve searched through the archives to bring you some sage advice to “live by” in 2018 from those who have survived and continue to thrive in one of the world’s toughest industries.
