Bridget Malcolm has been announced as Mercedes-Benz ‘Friend of the Brand’, meaning she’ll be sitting front row at the Mercedes-Benz Presents luncheon, as well as the highly-anticipated Toni Maticevski show.

It’s a dream come true for the star, who told Yahoo7 Lifestyle before the Victoria’s Secret show last year that the idea of being a model had never even occurred to her when she was younger.

“When I started working at 15 the whole foreign world of fashion opened up to me in a big way,” Malcolm explained. “I’ve been working nearly a decade now and have managed to hang in there through some tough times. This isn’t an easy job - you have to learn to navigate an adult world at a very young age, and learn to deal with rejection that isn’t sugar coated.

“However, one of my life motto’s is “many people would kill to have your worst day” and I remember to stay thankful in every situation. Life is a journey, it isn’t meant to be easy, and I have been born into the most amazing experience!”

The Victoria’s Secret model isn’t the only notable Australian face to make it back to our shores for the week, with Dion Lee returning to the schedule and international guests Cynthia Rowley and Oscar de la Renta set to show their latest collections.
