‘I think it’s because my life is busier,’ says Jessica Gomes as she enjoys being 10kg lighter

SHE dominated the runway at the David Jones Autumn/Winter Collections but many still pine for the Jessica Gomes that was — curvy, sexy, with a bit more flesh on bones.

The stunning clotheshorse may have gained a million dollar contract when she signed with David Jones in 2013, but sources insist she has lost 10 kilograms in the bargain, making a transformation from Varga-esque pin-up to runway mannequin.

Yesterday Gomes, 29, denied the weight loss was a result of industry pressure — saying she had worked steadily towards honing her still enviable form.

She said now, older than she was when she stripped for the pages of Madison magazine in 2010 (pictured), she has finally found the form she sought in younger years.

“I am sure a lot of women can relate to this but as you get older, you kind of figure out what works for you,” she said. “I think it is because my life has become busier and you just grow with the motions.” she added.

“When I was in my early twenties I kind of was still figuring out what worked for me, what foods to eat, is it the blood group diet, is it the paleo, what work out, and I think it is just me growing into myself and knowing what makes me happy.”

“I feel like a woman now and I feel very comfortable in my role as a fashion ambassador.”

Gomes added she sees herself as a chameleon: “I can mould myself into whatever vibe I am going for. Before it was swimsuit and I encaptured that curvy swimsuit model and now I am really encapturing the fashion side of things. It is fun growing and transforming and expanding.”
