Zarah

Hi, my name is Zarah. I am currently based in Perth, Western Australia, but I was born in Bangladesh. I was two years old when my parents and I relocated to Australia. Fashion was always a big part of my life growing up. My mother was a model in Bangladesh and always encouraged me to pursue my interest in the industry. When I was younger, I always imagined myself as a fashion designer or photographer. The thought of modelling just didn’t cross my mind as I never saw anyone who looked like me on the big screen. But, with the help of my family, I took a chance, and now I'm here.

My parents are my biggest inspirations, and I will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to honour them and my Bengali heritage through my modelling career. Modelling allows me to be the girl that a younger version of myself wished to see in fashion magazines, and I hope to be that inspiration for other young girls as well.
