Representing the very best of Royalle Modelling, these women bring a unique blend of beauty, passion, and determination to the industry. Let’s meet the ‘Fine 5’ who are gracing our pages this month.
Melissa Stingley: Embracing Life’s Unexpected Journeys
Melissa Stingley’s journey to success is a testament to perseverance and the joy of embracing the unexpected. At 29 years old, Melissa has built an impressive modelling career that started far from the Australian shores she now calls home.
Born in Germany to a German mother and an African American father, Melissa’s multicultural heritage shaped her worldview. Initially intending to stay in Australia for just one year to travel and explore, Melissa fell in love with the country and its people, leading her to establish a new life Down Under.
Standing tall at 179 cm, Melissa began her modelling career at 17, collaborating with photographers to build her portfolio. However, it wasn’t until she joined Royalle Modelling that her career truly took off. Today, Melissa shines as a symbol of resilience and adaptability in the ever-changing world of fashion.
Mia Sinclair: Inspiring Confidence Through Beauty
At just 20 years old, Australian-born Mia Sinclair is making waves in the modelling world with her striking looks and infectious positivity. Her Dutch ancestry lends her a distinctive elegance, while her luscious locks pay homage to her Māori roots.
A dedicated dancer, Mia’s love for movement naturally transitioned into modelling. Her journey began with advertisements for her dance studio, which showcased her natural charisma. Now, Mia thrives on the runway and in front of the camera, with Royalle Modelling providing her with incredible opportunities.
Currently pursuing a Beauty degree, Mia is passionate about helping others feel confident in their own skin. Her work is not just about outward beauty but about inspiring self-love and individuality, proving that true beauty comes from within.
Isabella Czarnocki: A Rising Star with Roots
At only 19, Isabella Czarnocki is making her mark on the modelling world with her Polish-Australian heritage and deep connection to her roots. Fluent in Polish, Isabella’s cultural pride adds depth to her persona, making her a standout in the industry.
Her modelling career began at the age of two when her mother’s encouragement led to her first gig as a Huggies nappies model. Over the years, Isabella has achieved countless milestones, including walking the runway at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Show for Speedo at just six years old. Sharing the stage with notable figures like Rachael Finch and Eamon Sullivan, Isabella’s early success paved the way for her bright future.
Erin Ford: Adventurer Turned Model
Sydney-born Erin Ford has lived a life full of adventure, which has profoundly shaped her career in modelling. Growing up surrounded by nature and excitement—from farm life and horse riding to dune buggy adventures—Erin’s upbringing instilled in her a deep appreciation for life’s thrills.
Her modelling career began with runway competitions between the ages of 12 and 15, igniting a passion that would later become her profession. At 18, Erin took the leap into professional modelling, signing with Royalle Modelling and pursuing her dreams with determination. Now 20, she continues to balance her love for nature with the glamorous world of fashion, proving that you can embrace all facets of life.
Danika Ahern: Breaking Barriers with Petite Power
Danika Ahern, 26, brings a fresh perspective to the modelling world with her Spanish and Scandinavian heritage and her mission to champion diversity and inclusivity. Living in Sydney, Danika is an advocate for petite models, breaking barriers and redefining beauty standards in the fashion industry.
Currently a full-time graphic design student, Danika is also working on launching her own lingerie line. Her recent scholarship win with Vogue Australia has further fuelled her ambitions, solidifying her position as a rising star. In addition to modelling, Danika is a talented writer, drafting two novels set to be published next year—one highlighting domestic violence awareness and the other a collection of poetry. Her multifaceted talents and unwavering determination make her an inspiration to all.
The ‘Fine 5’ represent the incredible talent fostered by Royalle Modelling and the diverse stories that make up today’s modelling landscape. Each of these women brings something unique to the industry, proving that beauty is more than skin deep—it’s about resilience, passion, and individuality.
