For Talia Richman, nicknamed "T-Rich," social media and modeling go hand in hand. Not only does the beautiful green-eyed brunette kill on sets and runways, but she's also the master of marketing and self-promotion on networks. Add to that the fact that she is a photographer (who prioritizes high-quality old-generation film cameras), plus maintains a super unique style that refuses to get carried away by trends or the herd, and you have a new generation of talent, who is also a professional on both sides of the camera.

The 28-year-old model-influencer, often referred to as the "Australian model," was born in London, but grew up and was educated in Perth and Brisbane, Australia – which was enough to cement the assumption that she was born in kangaroo country. Richman was introduced to the modeling world at the age of six, too, as part of her parents' attempt to help her overcome her "painfully shy" status, as she told The Courier-Mail.
She began her steps towards a professional career at the age of 13, and just after turning 18 she made the big move to New York, where she entered the field of commercial modeling. Along the way, Richman has also built an online presence on social media around her love of fashion, photography, effortless street style, and hysterical statement jewelry, inspired by her Indian and English background.

If her name does ring familiar to you, it's likely in the context of romantic rumors linking Richman with Kendall Jenner's ex, NBA star Ben Simmons, all just two months after they split in 2019. And/or when she made tabloid headlines when she called U.S. Embassy employees in Australia "absolute idiots" in a series of stories she posted on her Insta account, after hoping to return to New York (where she was living and working at the time) within a week of submitting her visa application, only to discover that the waiting period was about three months.

In recent years, Richman has settled in sunny Los Angeles, signed to several modeling agencies around the world, and has managed to walk runways and star in a variety of international campaigns. Working closely with reputable Australian brands such as KOOKAÏ, as well as with the biggest names in fashion, including DKNY and Armani. There was also a major beauty campaign for Oscar de la Renta's Petale perfume, and she graced editorial productions in leading magazines such as Harper's Bazaar Vietnam in 2020.

Beyond being a crazy chameleon who can channel a variety of characters and maintain any style of clothing on the sets in which she works, we were captivated by her personal Swaggy style, which includes: purely college style clothing systems Preppy meets Street Style, with which she plays on the scale from the sweet and feminine at times, to the grunge Tom Boy that breaks out of her.
Beyond sometimes wearing sexy dresses or skirts paired with cowboy boots, Richman always closes her looks with even, tall sneakers, as befits the voice girl she is. For the most part, this will be from her enviable Nike Air Jordan collection, but we've spotted that she's also recently been hitting with Vans shoes, which are probably funding her content creation well right now.

The towering model, who stands 1.79 meters tall, enjoys having fun with her long hair and experimenting with a variety of gorgeous/crazy hairstyles, depending on how you look at it. And of course, the highlight of every show she wears is an abundance of vintage jewelry, combined with statement pieces from her favorite kicking brand DYLANLEX, which she not only curates over the years but loads on her earlobes (which are perforated at maximum), her neck and hands, like a pirate gypsy. Or maybe T-Rich.

She's a freak in disguise as the iconic Mr. T from The Eighties? Either way, she always looks at her peak and sprinkles suitcases of inspiration for what personal style is. Once in a while, especially for special occasions, Richman leaves her sneakers at home and comes up with a super feminine and sexy appearance from head to toe. And yes, she has a boyfriend, which is true to a month-long romantic post that appears on her feed featuring the model, who aspires to be an actor, Alex Frange.
