5 GUEST EDITOR Jennifer Hawkins Business comes first for Jen on the shoot, but she squeezes in a few laughs with Jake. A week in my world IT S NOT ALL WORK PHILLIP KOCH spends a few days in paradise with the supermodel and learns how cleverly she blends business and fun It is almost 10pm and a mini-cyclone has blown up in Fiji. Waves batter the beach, rain buckets down and palm trees dance like a bunch of teenagers at a rave party. It could almost be romantic, except that Aussie supermodel Jennifer Hawkins is stuck in the middle of the storm, in a small boat, in the pitch black of an angry Pacific Ocean. With no words of reassurance from the skipper, even the unflappable Fijians charged with welcoming the former Miss Universe start to look decidedly nervous. Then, just as everyone starts to fear the worst, Jen arrives, laughing off the near disaster and looking a million dollars, despite rain flattening her famous blonde mane. What fun! she says. Jen, 25, is on Fiji s Vomo Island for a three-day shoot to promote her second collection of signature swimwear, Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins, and not even a mini-cyclone will stop her. Her boyfriend, builder Jake Wall, is with her, taking advantage of her time on this tiny island paradise to spend a few days together after the shoot. The couple have just one day to enjoy the balmy Fijian weather before Jen starts work on the shoot at the unforgiving time of 4am to catch the best light of the day. When honeymooners and other holidaymakers wake up to breakfast, they Jen gets cosy with one of the locals on Vomo, where she s been modelling her new swimwear. are met with the vision of a supermodel in her bikini on the beach. It s a beautiful location, she says. And I m very lucky I have a team of people I work with all the time and they are all here to help me put the shoot together, which I m really excited about. Jen s life has changed dramatically since she won Miss Universe five years ago, but her work ethic has, if anything, become stronger particularly since she launched Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins last year. I wanted to do something I could do creatively, she explains. This is obviously a business opportunity, but it s also great fun and a way I was able to put my lifestyle into something I love and the swimwear has got even better since last season. Cozi is Jen s baby the only one on her mind for now and she s determined to make it the best swimwear brand in the world. This season, I wanted something for everyone, and I took a much bigger role in the design process, she says. The bikinis she models 12 hours a day for the next two days on Vomo come in many colours and patterns, and in a range of cuts designed to suit women of all shapes and sizes. Jen promises you don t have to look like a model to look good in Cozi exclusively distributed through Myer. It depends on how you wear it, explains Jen, who With Cozi, I was able to put my lifestyle into something I love even braves a few small reef sharks to model the swimwear in the ocean on day two. Cozi is the latest in a growing business empire that PICTURES: DAVID HAHN. includes multi million-dollar deals with Myer, Covergirl and Lovable, on top of a lucrative contract with the Seven Network which has seen her appear on The Great Outdoors and star in last year s Make Me A Supermodel. These days, she is just as comfortable talking about high finance as she is high fashion. Jen owns shares in Myer and Lovable s parent company, Gazal Corporation. She has also bought five properties, including a $3 million home in Sydney s eastern suburbs. I love having a lot of different things happening, she says. I want to stay in television, and I love my ambassadorial work with different companies. I have always wanted to build a brand for myself, and I m building Cozi for the long term. While she is clearly in love with Jake, there are no plans for the long-term couple to tie the knot in the near future. As for kids, she is more than happy for now to play aunty to Sienna, Holly and Cameron. I m busy, and it s fun and I m working hard, she says. 18 I womansday.ninemsn.com.au
