Early life edit

Emery lived in Auckland and attended the Diocesan School for Girls, where she played netball.[8] She weighed 95 kg, which interfered with her ability to play netball.[8] To improve her physical ability for the sport, she opted to lose weight under a medically supervised plan, losing 36 kg over 2 years.[8] She went from a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 29.32, which was close to being classified as "obese", down to a BMI of 18, which puts her slightly below what is considered the healthy range.[8] For comparison, the average BMI in New Zealand was 27 in 2008.[8] The weight lost greatly helped her to become in demand in modelling, but caused her to be criticised by some at her school, for being unhealthy, which she disputes.[8]

Modelling edit

Emery was signed up to be a model with Red Eleven modelling agency at age 16.[9] Emery has modeled in London, Milan, New York, and Paris.[3] Her first international runway debut was for Prada.[1] She modeled in shows for Chanel, Dries van Noten, Marc Jacobs, Marni, Miu Miu, Nina Ricci, and Valentino Garavani.[1][3][10][11] In 2013, Daniel Robson of Harper's Bazaar said Emery was one of the three "biggest breakthroughs of New York Fashion Week."[12]
