Standing at 182cm, Pip Bingham sure stands out from a crowd. Yet her height isn’t all that attracts ones eye. Her ‘go get em’ Aussie attitude, along with her piercing green eyes, amazing catwalk presence and her legs which reach all the way up to heaven, have all made the world stop and take note. This nineteen year old Perth girl is the look of the future.
At the age of 13, a less than girly Pip was scouted in a street market in Fremantle, WA. She hesitantly took the scout’s card, but never called. Less than two years later, fate intervened and Pip bumped into the same modelling scout, twice in the same month. With her mum’s encouragement and the hope that modelling would make Pip a little more girly, she attended modelling classes and went on to model for Perth Fashion Week.
After success in Perth, Pip signed with Chadwick Models and was discovered by top stylist Trevor Stone. He proceeded to book Pip as his leading girl in all of his Sydney Fashion Week shows. In 2008 she won the Model of The Year award and became prominent in the Australian modelling scene. She was received well by all audiences Australia wide and was successfully taking on an industry which was dominated by blonde, elf like, 15 year olds.
With offers to model in Melbourne, Hong Kong, Greece, Singapore and Milan, Pip recently left a stifling summer in Australia and ventured into sub zero Milan wearing her trademark Aussie denim shorts and singlet.
Her Aussie charm has worked in her favour and since arriving in January, Pip has been flown all over Europe for different jobs. With her high fashion look, Pip Bingham is sure to be a household name by the end of 2010.
