[edit] Biography

She grew up on her parents' horse-breeding farm in Thames, New Zealand. Having been a beauty queen, Bax was first discovered in a New Zealand shopping mall by an agent from modelling agency Clyne Model Management.

After discovering her marketing abilities as a fashion model, she soon moved to New York in to work as a model. Bax became Steven Meisel's protege. With her new "boyish looks" but still very feminine, she went on to work with top photographers such as Karl Largerfeld, whom treated her like his daughter, Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon.

Bax is currently married-to fashion photographer Spiros Poros and has a daughter named Lito. She is currently pregnant with her second child.

Like most models nowadays, Bax is branching out of modeling to pursue an acting career. She appeared in the films The Big Tease and Get Over It with Kirsten Dunst.

On November 3, 2006, Bax filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles Friday against a French men’s magazine for putting two breast-baring photos of her on its wrapper. Bax claims she did not give permission for the racy photographs, which were taken about six years ago, to be used on the front and back of Max Magazine’s April 2006 wrapper [1].

In 2000, Bax joined a list of beauties like Estella Warren, Veronica Varekova and Michelle Behennah in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue of 2000.
