SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
Lucy was just beginning to ascend in the modeling industry, with an impressive resume that included walking the runway for global fashion giants such as Versace and Givenchy. She was a bright, vibrant spirit, whose warmth, humor, and beauty left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
Born and raised on Australia’s Gold Coast, Lucy had Croatian heritage and a deeply grounded sense of identity. Her path to international stardom began in 2015 when she appeared on Australia’s Next Top Model, where she quickly captured hearts across the country. She finished as the first runner-up, but her natural grace and undeniable presence propelled her far beyond the competition, securing her place in the fashion world.
Lucy’s modeling career flourished as she joined top agencies including Elite Models, IMG Models, and Select Model Paris. She graced campaigns for household names like Colgate and appeared in high-fashion publications such as Schön! Magazine. With over 90,000 followers on her Instagram (@lucymarkovicc), Lucy captivated fans not only with her striking looks but with her down-to-earth nature, clever wit, and infectious joy.
More than just a model, Lucy Markovic was a beacon of light. Her dry sense of humor and radiant smile could light up any room. She loved to dance and was never afraid to be herself—on or off the runway. She brought heart and authenticity to everything she did, from strutting down international catwalks to uplifting those around her with kindness and laughter.
Her presence at events such as Australia’s annual Fashion Palette Spring/Summer 2018 showcase, where she was paired with fellow model Megan Puleri at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, reflected her rising influence and the admiration she earned from her peers and designers alike.
Those who knew Lucy best describe her as someone who shined from within. She wasn’t just admired for her outer beauty or modeling accolades, but for the warmth she shared so generously. Her journey in the fashion industry was more than a career—it was a realization of a dream she nurtured with passion and resilience.
Lucy’s battle with brain AVM was fought with the same strength and grace she brought to her career and relationships. Her passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of family, friends, and fans across the globe. The modeling community and those closest to her will remember Lucy not only as a fashion icon but as a soul full of life, laughter, and love.
In celebrating her life, we honor not just her achievements on the runway, but the spirit that made her truly unforgettable. Lucy Markovic’s light will continue to shine in the memories she leaves behind, and her story will inspire future generations to follow their dreams with courage, heart, and authenticity.
