Tallulah Morton Roots is an Australian fashion model born in 1991 in North Sydney, New South Wales.

She was "discovered" as a model at age 14 while studying at Wollumbin High School in Murwillumbah, New South Wales.[1] She had her first professional modelling appearance in 2005, opening a show by Australian fashion designer Josh Goot . [2] A 20-page shoot in fashion magazine Follow was published shortly thereafter, quickly leading to other work.[3] By 2006, Morton had made her New York debut, at another Josh Goot show.[4] Her age reportedly inhibited her ability to work in Europe initially,[5] and was referenced again when bans on under-age modelling were mooted in 2007.[6]

Morton has featured on the cover of many Australian magazines including Follow, Russh twice and The Daily Telegraph's 'Sunday' (16 July 2006). Her other magazine credits include Vogue, Marie Claire and Harpers Bazaar.[7]

Morton has performed in shows such as Vivienne Westwood's Tokyo show[7], the World Merino Conference in Perth, New Zealand Fashion Week, and for David Jones. She also became the face of the Cue campaign. In 2007, Tallulah made her Paris debut with Marilyn's, showing Dior, Gaultier & Viktor & Rolf winter collections.[citation needed] Morton has worked with prominent fashion photographers Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel and David Simms, and with fashion designers Diane von Furstenberg and Phillip Lim.[7]
