In Loving Memory of Lucy Markovic
(19 January 1998 – 10 April 2025)

Lucy Markovic, a talented model and former contestant on Australia’s Next Top Model, passed away in April 2024 at the young age of 27 after a courageous battle with a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Her loss has been deeply felt by her family, friends, colleagues, and the Australian fashion community, who remember her for her radiant beauty, determination, and unwavering spirit.

In the final chapter of her life, Lucy faced the immense challenge of living with a brain arteriovenous malformation. Despite the difficulties and uncertainty, she approached her condition with the same strength and optimism that had defined her modelling career.
