GUEST EDITOR
Jennifer Hawkins
A week in my world
Jen gets cosy with
one of the locals on
Vomo, where she’s
been modelling her
new swimwear.

in paradise with
the supermodel

cleverly she
blends business
and fun
I
t is almost 10pm and a
mini-cyclone has blown
up in Fiji. Waves batter
the beach, rain buckets
down and palm trees
dance like a bunch of
teenagers at a rave party.
It could almost be
romantic, except that Aussie
supermodel Jennifer Hawkins
is stuck in the middle of
the storm, in a small boat, in
the pitch black of an angry
Pacific Ocean.
With no words of
reassurance from the
skipper, even the unflappable
Fijians charged with
welcoming the former
Miss Universe start to look
decidedly nervous.
Then, just as everyone
starts to fear the worst, Jen
arrives, laughing off the near
disaster and looking a million
dollars, despite rain flattening
her famous blonde mane.
“What fun!” she says.
Jen, 25, is on Fiji’s Vomo
Island for a three-day shoot to
promote her second collection
of signature swimwear, Cozi by
Jennifer Hawkins, and not even
a mini-cyclone will stop her.
Her boyfriend, builder
Jake Wall, is with her, taking
18

advantage of her time on
this tiny island paradise
to spend a few days together
after the shoot.
The couple have just
one day to enjoy the balmy
Fijian weather before Jen
starts work on the shoot at
the unforgiving time of
4am – to catch the best light
of the day.
When honeymooners
and other holidaymakers
wake up to breakfast, they
are met with the vision of
a supermodel in her bikini
on the beach.
“It’s a beautiful location,”
really excited about.”
Jen’s life has changed
dramatically since she won
Miss Universe five years ago,
but her work ethic has, if
anything, become stronger
– particularly since she
launched Cozi by Jennifer
Hawkins last year.
“I wanted to do something
I could do creatively,” she
explains. “This is obviously
a business opportunity,
but it’s also great fun and
a way I was able to put my
lifestyle into something
I love – and the swimwear
has got even better since
last season.”
Cozi is Jen’s baby – the
only one on her mind for now
– and she’s determined to
make it the best swimwear
brand in the world.
“This season, I wanted
something for everyone, and
I took a much bigger role in the
design process,” she says.
The bikinis she models
12 hours a day for the next
two days on Vomo come
in many colours and patterns,
and in a range of cuts
designed to suit women of
all shapes and sizes.
Jen promises you don’t have
to look like a model to look
good in Cozi – exclusively
distributed through Myer.
“It depends on how you
wear it,” explains Jen, who
‘With Cozi, I was able to put my
lifestyle into something I love’
she says. “And I’m very lucky
I have a team of people I work
with all the time and they
are all here to help me put the
shoot together, which I’m

sharks to model the swimwear

Cozi is the latest in a
growing business empire that

includes multi
million-dollar deals with
Myer, Covergirl and Lovable,
on top of a lucrative contract
with the Seven Network
which has seen her appear
on The Great Outdoors and
star in last year’s Make Me
A Supermodel.
These days, she is just
as comfortable talking about
high finance as she is high
fashion. Jen owns shares
in Myer and Lovable’s parent
company, Gazal Corporation.
She has also bought five
properties, including a
$3 million home in Sydney’s
eastern suburbs.
“I love having a lot of
different things happening,”
she says. “I want to stay in
television, and I love my
ambassadorial work with
different companies. I have
always wanted to build
a brand for myself, and I’m
building Cozi for the long term.”
While she is clearly in
love with Jake, there are no
plans for the long-term
couple to tie the knot in the
near future. As for kids,
she is more than happy for
now to play aunty to Sienna,
Holly and Cameron.
“I’m busy, and it’s fun and
I’m working hard,” she says.

beauty secrets
The Aussie
beauty queen
shares her tips
for a fresh,
natural look
$10.25, and I’m done. At night, I
love to pump up my eyes a little
by smudging some CoverGirl
Perfect Blend Pencil in Brown/
Black, $12.95, on the eye and
use CoverGirl LashBlast
Mascara, $17.95, for my lashes.”
WEAR SUNSCREEN
“I’m very conscious of the
sun, as I spend a lot of time
outdoors. I always wear
CoverGirl Smoothers SPF
Tinted Moisturiser, $17.25,
on my face and 30+ sun
creams on my body.”
PAMPER YOUR SKIN
EAT WELL
“I exfoliate my face and body
and use masks as often as I
can. For my body, I use Redwin
moisturiser, as it contains both
vitamin E and evening primrose
oil and is inexpensive.”
“I find when I’m eating healthy
food, I’m level headed all day
and my skin glows. I also drink
at least 2 litres of water a day
– it really makes a difference.
There’s nothing wrong with
a few vices. Mine are dark
chocolate and coffee!”
KEEP IT SIMPLE
“When I’m not working, I keep
my make-up pretty simple.
I use CoverGirl’s TruBlend
Microminerals, which comes
in a foundation, blush and
bronzer. I love the bronzer – it’s
light and doesn’t clog your
pores. I add a slick of CoverGirl
Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers

BEAUTY
FIND A SCENT YOU LOVE
“I have a collection of
perfumes. It’s something I got
from my mum; she loves
perfume. My favourite always
changes. At the moment, it’s
KENZO Amour Eau de Parfum
in Orange, $165.”
LOOK AFTER YOUR LOCKS
“I have hair treatments
regularly. I get the best result
if I leave Terax Original
Crema, $14.95, in my hair for
15 minutes, as it acts as a
treatment. I love Klorane Oat
Milk Dry Shampoo, $16.30,
and to get ‘beach hair’, Wella
Ocean Sprizz, $23, is brilliant!
