QANTAS might call Australia home but its style consultant no longer does. Model Jessica Hart (pictured), who grew up in Melbourne but now lives in New York, has renounced her country of birth for the US in her latest interview. 
The 29-year-old, who was announced as Qantas style consultant in   May, said she felt pressure to "conform" in Australia, more so than the Big Apple.
"Unique people are the kind who get noticed here," she told Convicts, a New York store and digital platform.
"At home you were always trying to conform, and here I kind of felt free to be myself. Or at least wear jeans and Converse instead of heels and make-up to a casting." "I used to always refer to Australia as home. And I feel terrible saying it, but now it really is home here." Hart, who has modelled for brands including Victoria's Secret, Portmans and Bonds, has been dating Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos since 2011.
The gap-toothed beauty has also moved into the beauty space, launching her own cosmetics line, LUMA.Hart revealed in the interview she did her own make-up for red carpet events, including the recent premiere of Spectre in New York, claiming "I don't like people in my face".
