Megan Gale reveals whether she will return to modeling after a surprise return to David Jones’ catwalk – as she reflects on the ‘fickle’ industry where you can ‘disappear’ at any moment
Megan Gale has revealed she is open to a return to modelling, almost 16 years after retiring from the industry.
Speak with Stellar magazine this week, the Australian supermodel, 48, said she thoroughly enjoyed her one-off return to the catwalk for David Jones’ 185th anniversary in March.
“It felt like coming home to walk down that runway and see people happy to see me. Would I do it again? Never say never,” she began.
‘I’ve always loved catwalk modelling, I miss it, but I wouldn’t just put myself out there. It has to make sense.’
Megan’s appearance on David Jones’ catwalk came 22 years after she became their brand ambassador in 2001.

The Perth-born star also revealed she was grateful to have worked in such a cutthroat industry for so long.
‘I wanted to work as much as possible, have children later and maybe semi-retire. This industry is fickle and you don’t know when it will go away.’
She added that meeting her partner Shaun Hampson and having a family kept her grounded throughout her career.

It comes after Megan previously shared Body and soul magazine, she now wears minimal makeup and doesn’t “put too much pressure on my body” when exercising.
“Beauty doesn’t have to be so overwhelming — less is truly more in my eyes,” she told the publication.
