Holly Rose Emery (born 29 May 1996) is a model from New Zealand. In 2013, she appeared on the cover of Australia's edition of ''Vogue'', which said she was "one of the most in-demand models in the southern hemisphere".

To improve her physical ability for the sport, she opted to lose weight under a medically supervised plan, losing 36 kg over 2 years. 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. For comparison, the average BMI in New Zealand was 27 in 2008. 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. Modelling Emery was signed up to be a m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
