Victoria Keon-Cohen (2003)
Model, Actor, Film Maker and Activist

Victoria started modelling at the age of fifteen, after her sister Emily (1999) submitted Victoria’s photo to a competition run by Girlfriend Magazine. Since graduating from Lauriston, the years have been quite remarkable for Victoria, including traveling to Europe and the US working as a model with fashion houses including Vogue, Dior, Armani and Levi’s. Victoria was accepted to study Performance Design at Central Saint Martins in London.

At the age of 21, Dunja Knezevic and Victoria co-founded the first trade union for models, as a branch of Equity. After a year she stood as founding chair of the Equity Models’ Committee – a position she held for five years. Victoria has also worked on film with her first role as a costumer to Robert De Niro on Killer Elite (shot in Melbourne) and as a costume assistant on Mabo. Her first short film, "Eternal Return" received resounding accolades including most recent work includes Best Director in the L.A. Underground International Film Festival in 2014.
