Heath Townsend

Biography

Heath Townsend, another beauty that hailed from Australia is making big noises in the fashion industry. Being absent from major fashion scenes for nearly two years, Heath Townsend once again rises to the stardom with his new campaigns for Louis Vuitton and Echo fragrance of Davidoff.

Growing up in an oyster farm in Queensland, Australia, modeling seemed a world away from reality for Heath. But his sister was convinced of Heath's good looks, that he should be more than just working on an oyster farm. Upon a chance that Heath was visiting Brishane (a major city in Queensland), his sister sent his pictures to a New York agency. The agency signed Heath, and soon he was on his way to the fashion capitals of the world.

Photographers and image makers fell in love with Heath instantly. Within the first a few months, Heath was able to nail down many editorial assignments. Magazines such as Vogue and GQ have harnessed his beautiful features to full effect. Heath's rise to stardom came when he appeared in fall 1999 TSE campaign, followed up by 2000 Calvin Klein campaign. However, Heath's modeling career cooled off for the next two years, leaving his fans wondering.

The wait was finally over in the year of 2004. As the face of Louis Vuitton and Echo Davidoff, Heath is back on the top, reclaiming his supermodel status. Besides the notable ad campaigns, Health is also featured in the fashion pages of Details and Leon, and in Neiman Marcus catalog. It's fair to say that Heath came back the second time around with vengeance, and determination to stay.
