“

Summer is finally upon us and I am so excited to share The Supermodel Edition with you all.

”

T

his edition was a thrill for us to create.

The team and I thought arduously about who our supermodels would be.

We wanted to choose models who represented Façon’s philosophies and also best represented what Newcastle is capable of achieving. These three recognisable faces are Newcastle’s finest exports and ambassadors to the fashion world outside of our humble yet dynamic and ambitious city.

stories, career highlights, and to hear their advice for aspiring models and all people who are interested in working in the creative industry.

As with every edition of Façon, the team and I hold this one close to our hearts. The Supermodel Edition is even more special as we are also printing this edition. This is our first print run since the world changed (and I won’t bring up the ‘C’ word, as we are all moving past that at pace!).

Having known all of these women from the very inception of Façon in 2015, and as I got to know them over the years, I discovered they embodied what I wanted my regional magazine to represent – talent, professionalism and pure tenacity. They demonstrate what Newcastle has to offer to a national and international audience.

Becoming a digital publication, due to the world’s changing circumstances, was borne out of necessity and survival of our beloved title, but what it gave us was a product that garnered immense reach and brand recognition. I am so proud of that!

Thanks to these generous and gorgeous women, who I am now lucky to call my friends, we achieved this over the years and they helped build Façon to what it is today. A brand to be reckoned with! Thank you, Tegan, Gemma and Michelle, for your support, love and trust in our magazine.

Our cover shoot took place on Newcastle’s famous Nobbys Beach. It was amazing to see these models work together and also show us why they have had such success, and continue to do so. We had so much fun creating the images in our pages to share with you their

It is such an exciting prospect to bring back the print version of our magazine. I love the fact that this edition can again join you in one hand while the other hand holds a glass of fine champagne.

After all, fashion and bubbles go hand in hand.

I invite you to immerse yourself in this magazine, its bright and optimistic pages, showcasing the best of all that fashion is.

From the sun-kissed beaches of Newy to international runways, these models have worked in the fashion industry all over the world. Delve into their shared experiences growing up in Newcastle, their extraordinary paths to success in the modelling industry, and their inspiring contributions to diverse careers beyond the catwalk.

egan Growing up in the picturesque coastal city of Newcastle, Tegan Martin had a childhood that many can only dream of.

“I loved everything about my upbringing in Newcastle,” she says.

“I grew up spending so much time outdoors, from being out on my family’s boat in Lake Macquarie to exploring different beaches each weekend. I never quite knew how lucky I was until I moved to a busy city in my early twenties, and life became much more hectic.”

Tegan’s journey into the modelling industry wasn’t a conventional one. While working at a hair salon after school and on weekends, her colleagues encouraged her to enter competitions. One day, she decided to take a chance and signed up for a local modelling competition called Frock On. To her surprise, she won, marking the beginning of her modelling career.

“I starred in my very first TV commercial, and I was ecstatic!” Tegan says.

Leaving her beloved Newcastle was a significant step for Tegan, but it was fuelled by a longing to explore the world and pursue her dreams.

“I always had a burning desire to get out of Newcastle and dream big,” she says.

“Moving to Paris at 19 on a modelling contract is still one of my greatest life lessons and highlights.”

Throughout her career, Tegan has had the opportunity to work with numerous prestigious brands and travel to various cities and countries.

She’s been a part of a lingerie campaign in Paris, strutted the runway at New York Fashion Week, competed at Miss Universe in Miami, and had photoshoots in sunny locations like Perth and Fiji.

Tegan has truly been blessed to travel the world while pursuing her passion.

But what is life like for Tegan Martin now?

“Every day in my life is different, and that’s exactly how I like it!” she says with enthusiasm.

Nowadays, Tegan wears many hats, often taking on roles such as producer, scriptwriter, location scout and presenter. She no longer merely shows up and follows directions but collaborates with brands on concepts from start to finish.

While her Miss Universe background may suggest otherwise, Tegan is actually more of a tomboy and a sports enthusiast.

“I am quite co-ordinated with any type of ball sport and highly competitive, dare I say even quite rough on the netball or basketball court,” she says.

Façon | 26

When asked about her experiences working with others, Tegan mentions Michelle, who once shot her on a photoshoot. As for her recent cover shoot, she had nothing but praise.

“I had the best day on set to shoot the cover!” she says.

“The team was so upbeat, and the vibes were high.

It was a beautiful sunny day shooting on the ever-so-glorious Nobbys Beach.”

“People are really focused on working to live, not living to work. It’s also where most of my closest friends and family are, so it will always feel like home.”

For aspiring models, Tegan offers valuable advice.

She emphasises the importance of staying positive, developing thick skin, and being prepared for more rejections than acceptances in the industry.

“Remember, there is an element of luck involved that is out of your control,” she says.

Despite her worldly adventures, Tegan holds a special place in her heart for her hometown, Newcastle.

“Lastly but most importantly, never rely on modelling to be your soul and forever income; always be building other skills in the background.”

“I love the slower-paced nature of life here,” she says.

Which are words Tegan lives by as she continues to chase new opportunities and make her mark on the world.

or Gemma Sanderson, growing up in Newcastle was nothing short of idyllic.

extended periods, living in different countries and embracing the freedom that came with it.

“It was great, the lifestyle as a child and teenager is second to none – growing up by the beach, hanging outside with friends, living in a small but big, big but small city,” she says.

“Living overseas made me feel like I was anonymous and could be myself,” she says. “I felt like a different person, and I loved it.”

Gemma couldn’t have asked for a better place to call home. She also highlights the sense of community that Newcastle gave her compared to larger cities like Sydney.

Gemma’s journey into the world of modelling began as a teenager when a friend recognised her aspirations and helped Gemma to take her first steps in the industry.

“My first experience was when I was 15,” Gemma says.

“One of my best friends knew I wanted to be a model, and she loved photography, so she took some photos of me to enter the Dolly Magazine Model Competition.”

Being named a finalist in the competition was a turning point in Gemma’s life. It solidified her dream of becoming a model, even though the road ahead had no clear path or guidance at the time.

Leaving her beloved Newcastle for Sydney marked a significant step in Gemma’s modelling journey.

While it was initially daunting, she maintained a connection with her hometown, returning every weekend for several years. It wasn’t until 2003 that Gemma started travelling overseas for

Gemma’s modelling career has taken her to numerous countries and cities across five continents, including New York, London, Paris, Sydney, Singapore, Milan, Hamburg and South Africa.

Her list of career highlights is impressive, including working alongside supermodels like Helena Christiansen, Naomi Campbell, Yasmin Le Bon, Eva Herzigova, Cindy Crawford, Miranda Kerr and Cara Delevigne. She also had the privilege of working for Victoria Beckham and shooting a TV commercial with Cristiano Ronaldo. Her campaigns for brands like Clarks shoes, Tresemmé hair, Topshop, Havianas, and Baci Chocolate have graced billboards and magazines worldwide.

Despite her remarkable journey in the modelling industry, Gemma’s life has evolved. Today, she’s a mother to two beautiful girls and works in aviation. After returning to Australia, she found herself needing new challenges. Her experience in the industry had changed, and she sought intellectual fulfilment. Her work in aviation safety complements her background and knowledge.

Many might be surprised to learn that Gemma harbours a deep-seated fear of flying, despite her career in aviation safety. She acknowledges the irony and is actively working on overcoming her phobia.

Façon | 30

Gemma’s connections in the modelling world also extend to fellow cover girls, Tegan and Michelle. While she had not met Tegan before the shoot, she and Michelle share a deep friendship. They crossed paths at the Boxing Day races and instantly connected. Their bond has endured through thick and thin, making their collaboration on the Façon cover shoot a special moment in their journey together.

Reflecting on the cover shoot, Gemma describes it as a great experience, with Tegan and Michelle being natural, open, friendly and supportive throughout the day. It was a seamless collaboration that captured the essence of their personalities and their connection to their hometown, Newcastle.

For Gemma, the charm of Newcastle lies in its beaches and cafes, and the opportunity to spend time with family.

She also celebrates the city’s growing creative scene: “Having a creative outlet like Façon is amazing, being able to support local and emerging talent and businesses makes me feel so lucky to have been a part of this “family” over the past seven years,” she says.

To aspiring models, Gemma offers a simple yet powerful piece of advice on chasing their dreams: “Don’t give up at the first no. You just need one person to believe in you for you to get somewhere.”

Gemma’s journey from Newcastle to the global modelling stage serves as a testament to this, and she continues to pursue her dreams, no matter where they lead her.

ichelle Lobb had a unusual upbringing that set the stage for her remarkable journey into the world of modelling. Her parents owned a local pub and she lived there, surrounded by what felt like a large extended family. From a young age, Michelle was no stranger to hard work, balancing her modelling career with roles in the hotel’s kitchen, cleaning, and the bar.

Michelle’s journey into the modelling industry was guided by her loving and supportive parents. Both of them had dabbled in modelling during their younger years, and seeing their images inspired Michelle to follow in their footsteps.

Michelle joined Kim’s agency, and her modelling career skyrocketed. She landed her first shoot for Harper’s Bazaar just a week later, marking the beginning of a journey that would take her far and wide.

Throughout her career, Michelle travelled extensively, working in various cities across Australia and abroad, particularly in Germany. She took part in campaigns that saw her images adorn billboards, trains, aeroplanes and buses worldwide. Her career highlights include walking the runways of fashion weeks, gracing the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, and working with prestigious brands like Schwarzkopf.

Her parents played a crucial role in helping her enter a modelling competition in Taree, where she took her first steps into the industry.

Michelle’s journey also took her into the world of television, where she appeared in TV ads and participated in a search for a supermodel on a TV show. However, as life unfolded, Michelle’s career evolved, leading her to work in mental health and disability, which she balances with her passion for photography and model scouting.

At the age of 13, Michelle’s initial venture into the world of commercial modelling didn’t go as planned. She soon realised that she didn’t fit the mould of a commercial model. After facing rejection, a chance encounter with a woman named Kim, who turned out to be an agent, changed the course of her career.

She discovers potential models on social media or the streets, providing them with guidance and insights gleaned from her own journey in the modelling world. Her typical days are diverse, ranging from work and photoshoots to spending quality time with her partner and their beloved dogs, Louie and Yuki.

“I had my mother and father with me every step of the way,” she says.

One aspect of Michelle that many may not know is her personal experience with a disability, that being dyslexia. School was challenging, and taking time off for modelling didn’t make it any easier.

Nevertheless, she encourages aspiring models to prioritise their education, emphasising the importance of having a back-up plan.

Michelle’s connections with fellow cover girls Gemma and Tegan has a unique backstory. She met Gemma in the bathroom at the Boxing Day races, the encounter sparking a friendship that later led to them becoming roommates when Gemma won Australia’s Next Top Model. As for Tegan, Michelle knew her parents and their paths have crossed over the years.

Working together on the cover shoot for Façon Magazine, Michelle, Gemma and Tegan shared a positive and supportive atmosphere. The camaraderie between these “supermodels” is evident in the images in these pages.

Michelle’s affection for her hometown, Newcastle, is rooted in the people, the stunning beaches, and witnessing the city’s transformation into a thriving metropolis.

To aspiring models, Michelle offers valuable advice: fact-check everything, involve your parents in the process, be resilient in the face of rejection, and prioritise your education as a safety net for your future. She emphasises that aspiring models should never pay an agency to represent them, as reputable agencies do not require upfront fees.

Michelle Lobb’s journey from Newcastle’s beaches to a successful modelling career and her continued contributions to the industry as a model scout and photographer put her on the map as one of Newy’s bright stars.

Come fly with me With Newcastle’s own international model, Michelle Lobb

MAIN BEACH NOOSA, courtesy of Tourism Noosa

Michelle Lobb, an internationally acclaimed model and photographer, possesses an insatiable wanderlust. Hailing from Newcastle, Michelle’s illustrious career has taken her across the globe, from modelling in front of the camera and behind the camera, and photographing idyllic locations such as Bali and Far North Queensland.

It’s a well-known fact that a model’s life is synonymous with jet-setting to picturesque destinations. After all, what is a swimsuit photoshoot without the backdrop of turquoise waters and white, sandy beaches? You, too, can embark on a journey to these tropical destinations thanks to convenient flight options provided by Qantas, Virgin, Jetstar, FlyPelican, Eastern Air, Link Airways and Bonza, all departing daily from Newcastle Airport.

Flying from Newcastle to Noosa for a little girls’ getaway, Michelle shared a few insights on her travel essentials.

QA &

with Michelle

Q: What do you pack for a sneaky trip away and what are your absolute must-pack items?

A: My number one essential is obviously

my camera. I love being able to capture the unforgettable moments and scenery while I travel. If I’m heading somewhere tropical, definitely a selection of bikinis, a good sunscreen and glowy skincare routine so I can spend as much time makeup-free as possible.

It will only take about an hour and a half, and it is really affordable - only $59 one way, meaning I have more money to spend on cocktails when I get there!

Q: Why did you choose Newcastle Airport?

A: I love flying from Newcastle because it’s

just so convenient. I don’t have to drive to Sydney, I can park right at the terminal, and I can easily fly straight to destinations like Brisbane, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Cairns, the Sunshine Coast, the Whitsundays, Adelaide and Byron Bay.

Q: How are you getting to Noosa?

A: I’m flying from Newcastle Airport with Bonza.

Q: Do you have an airport travel tip?

A: Definitely arrive at the airport at least an

hour prior to your departure. It gives you plenty of time to get there, check your bags in and go through security. There’s nothing worse than feeling stressed because you’re short on time. The departures lounge at Newcastle Airport is really relaxing. We sometimes even sneak in a Farmer’s Wife Summer Spritz G&T before our flight.

Q: What are your top holiday activities?

A: • A dip in the ocean, for sure! Main Beach in Noosa holds a special place in my heart.

• Strolling along the coastal track through the Noosa National Park.

• Exploring Noosa River and stand-up paddleboarding is always stunning. I love to admire all of the waterfront houses and venture up to the Noosa Everglades.

Bonza offers convenient flight options from Newcastle Airport to the Sunshine Coast, operating three weekly flights on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. The flight duration is a mere one and a half hours. With incredibly affordable one-way airfares starting at just $59, you can now make travelling with friends a reality.

Newcastle Airport offers direct flights to 13 destinations, with onward connections available to 65 destinations worldwide.

Excitingly, the Airport is expanding with a new international terminal under construction. International flights from Newcastle Airport are closer than you think.

HUNGRY AFTER ALL THAT SWIMMING AND SUNBATHING? THEN A CULINARY JOURNEY AWAITS! THE ANCHORAGE HAS LAUNCHED ITS NEW SPRING AND SUMMER MENUS.

What’s a summer getaway without a pool to dip into?

The Anchorage has extended the deck of its adults-only pool, which is now open and operational. Imagine lounging poolside, sipping on your favourite beverage and absorbing the breath-taking views of Port Stephens. It’s the epitome of relaxation and the perfect place to soak up the sun.

Sip, savour, and stay by the pool at the resort’s newest gem – the Poolside Bar. This delightful addition was finished in January and is now open for the summer season. It’s the ultimate oasis for those seeking refreshment and relaxation. Enjoy an ice-cold drink by the pool, perhaps a refreshing cocktail, while you recline in one of their beautiful cabanas. These cabanas even come with sheer curtains for a touch of privacy, making you feel like you’re in your own secluded paradise.

The Anchorage has also been working on refurbishments, with a focus on updating the airconditioning systems throughout the hotel. Picture this: you step into your room after a day in the sun and a refreshing wave of cool air greets you. Ah, pure bliss!

101 | Façon | the supermodel edition

These mouth-watering offerings include: sumacdusted lamb backstrap; butternut and crispy tofu coconut curry; 21-day dry-aged beef sirloin; grilled lobster; and sour cherry clafoutis to end the night on a sweet note, plus much more. Whether you’re a seafood lover, a fan of grilled delights or have a sweet tooth, there’s something to tantalise your taste buds.

The Anchorage isn’t just a place to rest your head, it’s a destination for unforgettable experiences. It offers a range of activities you can enjoy during your stay, including a cocktail masterclass, whisky tasting, High Tea by the Sea, and daily happy hours from 4-6pm at Moby’s Bar and $10 Gin Hour from 5-6pm at The Poolside Bar on weekends. These experiences aren’t just for guests; they’re open to the public as well. So, whether you’re a guest or a local looking for some fun, The Anchorage has your entertainment covered.

And here’s an exciting addition that shopaholics will adore: The Anchorage will be opening its very own shop onsite called Haven House. Here, guests can indulge in some retail therapy and purchase boutique clothing and swimwear items, magazines for some poolside reading, local produce to savour the flavours of the region, skincare products to keep your skin glowing, and a range of other travel essentials. It’s a one-stop-shop for all your holiday needs.

LUXE Escape

Dive into the delights of The Anchorage, with refurbishments that promise comfort, a pool and poolside bar for the ultimate relaxation, delectable menus that cater to every palate, enticing experiences to make your stay memorable, and a shop filled with travel treasures. The Anchorage has gone above and beyond to ensure your summer escape is nothing short of spectacular.

So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, put on your shades, and head to The Anchorage for a summer filled with sun, fun, and endless memories.

It’s not just a holiday, it’s an experience that will leave you refreshed and rejuvenated. Dive in and make this summer your best one yet.

Step into the playful world of Jana Restaurant & Bar, nestled inside the luxurious QT Hotel in the heart of Newcastle’s East End precinct.

Sourcing inspiration and ingredients from pasture to vineyard, Jana celebrates the tastes of contemporary Australian dining and is now helmed by the award-winning and hatted executive chef Shayne Mansfield. It’s a neighbourhood dining destination that thrives on top-notch produce and sustainability, both in its menu and ethos.

MORE THAN JUST A RESTAURANT, JANA IS A LUXURIOUS EMBODIMENT OF MODERN DESIGN, TELLING A STORY OF REFLECTION AND RENEWAL WHILE CELEBRATING THE STUNNING COASTLINE AND CITY THAT SURROUNDS IT. Be welcomed inside by the luxe finishings and gorgeous colour palette, stay for the delectable menu, inspired cocktails, and an outstanding wine list featuring both local favourites and some classic French tipples. Not to mention the extensive spirit collection, led by the hotel’s partnership with Australian favourite, Four Pillars Gin.

“Throughout the menu we’ve included my grandmother’s pickling mix,” he says. “We’re batching this 20 litres at a time.”

Sourced from the earth and ocean of the region, premium produce and sustainable fare are the centrepiece of Shayne’s culinary philosophy. His appointment comes with a menu highlighting locally farmed meats with NSW provenance: signature dishes include carrot tartare, Game Farm quail, Margra lamb and Rocky Point cobia fish. Ringing true to his ethos, the carrot tartare utilises all parts of the produce – incorporating pickled carrots and stems repurposed as green-tinged crackers, resulting in a zero-waste dish. The Berkshire pork cutlet is a true show-stopper, served with baked squash and slow-braised head and belly of the best quality.

Shayne has cooked shoulder to shoulder alongside Paul Walsh and Jason Atherton at Michelin-starred Pollen Street Social and City Social in London.

His experience spans Europe and North America.

Shayne’s riotous return to home soil saw a string of accolades follow. Hailing from local restaurant Flotilla, Shayne was awarded one hat by Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide 2022, attaining the hat in 2023 during his appointment as head chef.

Shayne Mansfield’s dedication to minimising food waste is more than a professional duty, it’s a heartfelt commitment. In his own words: “My approach to minimal food waste is a true passion and a key focus of mine, I’ll continue to bring this to life with my time at Jana. It allows me to unlock new flavours through parts of produce that often would end up in landfill.”

Shayne juxtaposes the past with the present, plating up modern renditions of recipes passed down through generations of his family.

107 | Façon | the supermodel edition

Guests will enjoy pickled rhubarb in the snapper crudo and pickled carrots in the carrot tartare, bringing balance of newfound flavours to old favourites.

With sustainability as his guiding principle and tradition as his foundation, Shayne is set to lead Jana into a new era of culinary excellence, offering Novocastrians and visitors an unforgettable dining experience.

Michael Stamboulidis, general manager of QT Newcastle, is delighted about Shayne’s appointment.

“We are beyond excited to have Shayne leading the team,” he says.

“Shayne’s modest approach to Jana showcases the most premium ingredients with a touch of trickery.

Novocastrians and visitors to Newcastle can expect humble food done very well.”

LUXE Wine & Dine

Though located in the luxuriously curated modern design of QT Newcastle, Jana is a humble dining destination, with a premium produce-led menu and a sustainable heart that embraces coast and city.

When looking to book your next date-night dinner or meal out with friends, take a moment and remember what is written in bold on Jana’s menu:

“ YOU’VE GOT GREAT TASTE,

AND WE KNOW JUST HOW TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST FOR EXCEPTIONAL.
