Fashion In Focus - with former Gucci in-house model Ella Drake

A fortuitous role as Gucci's in-house fit model was how New Zealand model Ella Drake burst onto the global fashion scene.  The Auckland-based AUT student had never intended to follow a career into modelling, but a quick trip to Tokyo and then Milan changed all that. Now at the helm of her own jewellery brand, Monarc, Ella spoke with Murray about her whirlwind modelling career and why she's now pursuing a business that champions sustainable, man-made diamonds.
