Unlike last year's Australia's Next Top Model winner, Demelza Reveley will not grace the cover of Vogue Australia, the magazine's editor said yesterday.
Vogue Australia editor-in-chief Kirstie Clements said the September issue would also include an editorial addressing the issue of bullying, which plagued this year's series of the reality TV show.
Ms Clements, who was a judge on the program, gave her vote in the final episode to rival Alexandra Girdwood because of concerns about Demelza's behaviour and her bullying of fellow contestant Alamela Rowan.
"I am not planning to (put Demelza on the cover), no," Ms Clements told the Mercury.
"The contractual agreement was for an eight-page editorial in the issue and I already have another cover ready to go.
"It is not part of our agreement because to be a cover girl for Vogue is a pretty specific thing and when you are working with the reality show it is a very hard thing to pledge."
The eight-page spread featuring Keiraville's Demelza in "evening gowns with a twist" will be photographed today at a dilapidated mansion in Sydney's Point Piper.
Ms Clements said Demelza did not have the international appeal of last year's winner Alice Burdeu, so the cover would instead feature Australian model Abby Lee Kershaw.
She also said the issue would include a readers' forum addressing the bullying issue.
"We got an unbelievable amount of letters, all throughout the series actually, and a lot came through yesterday because of the result," Ms Clements said.
"There are some really, really smart letters so I think the readers can say it for me really ... every letter I got was really quite poignant because a lot of the people were either professional teachers or parents of children who had been bullied, and there were also girls who had been bullied themselves and I think they can say it really eloquently."
She said she was concerned about the long-term effects the incident would have on Ms Rowan, but said she had the support of her family.
"I had a chat with her backstage after the show, and I think the fact that the issue has been raised and people are discussing it, then that is some positive that can be taken out of it and I think she saw that as well," Ms Clements said.
When asked whether Demelza would ever be able to shake the bullying tag, the editor said: "I am not sure, I don't think she should be vilified because she is only 16 years old and there is no point in us bullying her, but you know I think she made herself a bit infamous through it."
