Billie-Jean Hamlet is a Walmajarri and Yamatji model from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. She spent her formative years growing up in the remote community of Kurnangki near Fitzroy Crossing before later moving to Perth with her family for education.

Beginning in modelling development at 16 in Perth, Billie-Jean went on to pursue modelling professionally after relocating to Sydney at 19. Represented by IMG Models, she has since become one of Australia’s leading fashion models, spending three years modelling in New York and holding contracts across major fashion capitals including Milan, London and New York.

Through her work across Australia and internationally, Billie-Jean has contributed to the growing presence and visibility of First Nations talent within the fashion industry.

Her career has seen her appear in the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire and RUSSH, front nearly 20 campaigns for Country Road, and serve as a global ambassador for Seafolly Swimwear.

Alongside her modelling career, Billie-Jean is passionate about creating pathways between fashion, community and sustainability. Through her work with Thread Together, she is committed to redirecting excess within the fashion industry back into communities in meaningful and dignified ways, while advocating for greater accessibility, representation and environmental responsibility within fashion.

Her curatorial approach for the National Indigenous Art Fair is grounded in celebrating Kimberley talent, storytelling, and the power of fashion as cultural expression and connection.
