It was great to catch up with Miranda Kerr recently at Westfield Kotara. We had a nice chat and laugh about her early days, and how her mum brought her into CHAAYS when she was 13 y/o and asked "Do you think she has any potential ?". We both agreed what an awesome journey it's been for her since the fashion parade she did through us at Charlestown Square way back. Congratulations Miranda on your successful career in modelling & business... an amazing journey for an amazing woman. Ian Turley (CHAAYS Manager)
