Jennifer Hawkins, the main face of the retail giant, is under contract until the end of the year.

Myer’s deputy CEO, Daniel Bracken, described the foursome as “the perfect fit” for the store.

“All have a keen interest in both fashion and racing, and combined with their talent and experience, they are each the perfect fit to continue to represent the Myer brand alongside our Face of Myer, Jennifer Hawkins,” Bracken said.

While it was rumoured weeks ago that Myer would be putting an end to its partnership with Smith, the model stated he was “proud to be on the team for another year”.

Noticeably absent from next week’s new season launch will be Kate Peck, who parted ways with Myer last month.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the model’s “grungy style” was at odds with the direction Myer is taking.

“It's been a great two years, perhaps I'm a little too much of a wild child to be a part of the Myer family, but regardless, I love them dearly and I had a ball,” Kate told the newspaper.

In response, Myer proved there was no bad blood between the pair, with a spokesperson saying she had been a “valued” member of their team.

“Kate was a valued ambassador, representing the brand across a broad range of fashion, racing, store and community events and we wish her all the best for the future,” Myer said.
