Caitlin Lomax is well-known to friends of Wish – she first starred in our Winter ’09 shoot Almost Famous, one of our most popular campaigns of all time. The stunning rock’n’roll images of the young model became instantly iconic as posters were proudly displayed in boutiques across Australia and the bus and tram ads stopped traffic!

The WA girl has become an international sensation – three years on and Caitlin Lomax is now one of the most successful Australian supermodels working at the very top of the model industry. Australian Grazia were amongst to pick her beauty; from their very first shoot with her they marked her out as one to watch, likening her rising star to that of Catherine McNeill.

Today editors around the world agree. You’ll see Caitlin Lomax’s distinctive looks on the pages of all the top magazines including Vogue and Harpers Bazaar while she’s a new favourite at the uber-cool fashion bibles Dazed and Confused and Love with super stylist Katie Grand casting her whenever she can. The trend guru’s at Pop Magazine shot Caitlin for the current TOP TEN NEW GIRLS, a defining moment when we knew she’d made it.

The biggest brands can’t get enough of this gorgeous girl – in the past few months she has fronted campaigns for top luxury houses including the ultimate elegance of Parisian Guy Laroche and been the beautiful face of Top Shop’s gorgeously grungy make-up campaign.

Caitlin Lomax is hot news on the catwalks and is now a regular at New York, London, Paris and Milan fashion weeks. She has walked for Chanel and Louis Vuitton, met the world’s biggest fashion names from Karl Lagerfeld to Donatella Versace and giggled backstage with her new colleagues Kate Moss and Miranda Kerr.

We are very proud that this new Australian supermodel is exclusive to Wish for Winter ’12 – the Renegade Romance campaign starring Caitlin Lomax is set to be a new Wish favourite.

Striking new ground on the edge of discovery, this collection brings together cocktail sipping decadence and the natural beauty of days gone by.

 Cutting edge citrus highlights blaze trails through plains of burnt orange, dusty earth and fading sunsets. A Hawaiian oasis of cool hues offers a silken seascape abounding in tones of ocean, sky and blue azure.

Adventurous embroideries play amongst daring digital prints, sunray pleats and neon hues. A bounty of tassels and intricate beading offset slinky metallic knits that flirt with layered sheer chiffon.

Bear witness to a showdown between origami inspired dresses, asymmetrically draped tops and a cavalcade of summery skirts.

See you on the Paradise Frontier.

Winter is wild when you go the extra mile. Take an adventure in Wish’s signature exclusive prints which dominate the season from retro paisley prettiness to bold ethnic patterns sourced on trips to the most distant corners of the world.

Expect the unexpected, as printed panelling is juxtaposed with street sharp leather. Add must have opulent velvet burnouts in shades of flames, and essential ink dyed furs for the ultimate luxurious winter wanderer look.

Take the road less travelled in borrowed boyfriend cut jackets and patchwork shorts. Go where the wild roses grow in bright metallic rose brocades and rose print fabrics. Arrive in style in glistening metallic gowns, fused lace jackets and street smart motorbike ponti pants.

Wish celebrated the launch of the amazing new collection “The Castaway” at a unique venue in Sydney. Check out some of the photos below or head to fb.com/wish.xoxo for more!

The Castaway transports this iconic Wish collection to the heyday of romance as stunning model Yulia Drobozhan finds herself glamorously shipwrecked in a perfectly romantic wardrobe.

Summer shades are perfectly pretty in lemon, tangerine, buttercup, emerald, magenta and khaki while monochrome brings the elegance of steamship dining in the first class lounge. Feel the textures from smooth iron to polished wood in perforated suedes, subtle printed micro prints, smooth silks and crisp cotton.

Sail away in floating silks that flutter in the breeze, and maxi’s that sweep to the deck. Be vintage cute in midi dresses and sweet peasantry styles and add chic in shimmering fitted pants. Delight in divine details from the instantly classic Delft blue print, the reborn art deco bird motif and fine gold embroidery.

Congratulations to former Wish model Dakota Johnson on her casting in the lead role of Anastasia Steele in the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie. Dakota hung out with Wish in Sydney while modelling for the Rising Star campaign in 2010.

Read more about Dakota and other Wish Girls on the models page.

Days shorten, cool winter winds roll in and the city becomes a wild winter playground. Sepia tones inject an urban edge into soft florals while unique native block prints whisk your wardrobe effortlessly from crisp sunny days to cool nights.

Clean, modern silhouettes are adorned with baroque inspired embroidery as fresh fuses elegantly with traditional. Key faux fur cropped coats, full length vests, detailed soft leathers and cool cream PU jackets bring stylish ease to staying warm.
Exude femininity in delicate lace and mesh inserts across a silky monochrome palette. Shine in daybreak shades of vibrant reds, cobalt and pale blues, blush pinks and pops of magenta as Wait for Sunrise leaves you lusting for wintry days.
