All About Brooke

If there’s a perfect word to describe Brooke Hogan on the day of our photo shoot, it’s ‘trooper’. The Sydney weather gods brought it all – ominous skies, torrential downpours – but, when the odd block of sunshine struck, there was Brooke working it like a true pro without a word of complaint. Not surprising, really. The 26-year-old, who grew up on the Mornington Peninsula (and counts Keep it Cleaner’s Steph Smith and Laura Henshaw among her mates), has been modelling since her teens – featuring on Australia’s Next Top Model and working with mega brands such as Bras N Things, Nike and Tommy Hilfiger. And 2019 is set to be her biggest year yet, with the creation of her own swim range plus a collaboration on pieces with Aussie activewear favourite Jaggad. Safe to say Brooke Hogan is seriously going places. But, as she shares with WH, home is where her heart really is.
