Say hello to the new ELLE Australia cover star Zion Clark. You already know his mother Nicole Trunfio, who appeared in the first issue of ELLE, but this exclusive pairing is a celebration of the Australian supermodel’s recent introduction to motherhood.
On the cover for the June issue, on sale Monday, Trunfio wears Prada and a winning smile. Subscribers will receive a different image featuring a candid moment of Trunfio breastfeeding her baby, captured by photographer Georges Antoni.
Another natural moment that took place on set was Zion answering nature’s call on the selection of international and local designer clothing worn by his mother in the shoot.
In the accompanying article, Trunfio, who has worked with Versace, Chanel, Christian Dior and Gucci, discusses having taken to motherhood “like a duck to water”.
Zion is Trunfio’s first child with muso fiancé and Grammy winner Gary Clark Jnr.
Her reaction to the cover reveals her newfound joy. “When I saw the [subscriber] cover of me breastfeeding, which was unplanned and just natural, I teared up and thought, ‘Wow this is such a special moment where my worlds have collided’."
The June issue of ELLE Australia is on sale from Monday.
