April Rose Pengilly (born 12 April 1988; pronounced pen-gill-ee) is an Australian model, actress and presenter.
Early life
April attended Wenona, an exclusive girls school on the North Shore of Sydney. She dabbled in modelling as a child, sporadically returning to it in her latter years of high school, and after graduating in 2005 decided to pursue it full time under the pseudonym of April Rose - avoiding the Pengilly surname to separate herself from her famous father.
Career
April is currently represented by Chadwick Management in Australia and is also signed to TEAM (Japan) and Wilhelmina (New York).
She has featured in campaigns for Nokia, Macy’s New York, Sony, Bowie Wong, Piper Lane and Kate Hurst.
She has been photographed for magazines including Elle (UK), Shop Til You Drop, Girlfriend, Madison, Marie Claire, Oyster, Seventeen (US), and Glitter (Japan).
April has worked in Sydney, Tokyo, New York, Osaka and London and been photographed by Rankin, Steven Chee, Nick Scott, Nicole Bentley, Pierre Toussaint, James Demitri and Bradley Patrick.
April has also walked in shows for designers such as Tina Kalivas, Lover, Romance Was Born, Bowie Wong and Marnie Skillings.
In 2006, April was named the Spring/Summer 06/07 Youth Ambassador for major clothing retailer David Jones, which saw her working alongside Megan Gale and Mischa Barton.
In late 2008, director Alex Munt cast April alongside Australian acting heavyweights Toby Schmidt, Gracie Otto, Septamus Caton and Bianca Chiaminello in the indie film LBF (working title) based on Cry Bloxsome's cult novel of the same name (due for release late 2010). April coloured her hair pink for the role.
In 2009, April was the Ambassador for the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, working alongside J. Alexander and Doutzen Kroes. She also worked as a TV presenter for Fashion TV at London Fashion Week, before returning to Sydney for filming commitments. In April 2010, she was a presenter at the MTV Classic launch in Melbourne, Australia, which also featured rock legend Slash.
