It was the shock split that left the fashion world reeling when it was announced Jennifer Hawkins would step down as the face of Myer after 12 years in the role.

With The Block star Elyse Knowles confirmed as her replacement, all eyes are set to be on the pair tonight as Jen takes to the catwalk for her final Myer show.

Elyse, 26, has now revealed the supermodel has reached out to her, sharing an Instagram snap of a note Jen left in her dressing room.

“Best of luck tonight and with the whole Myer Runway series!” the handwritten note read. “I know you’ll kill it beautiful.”

Signed by Jen and accompanied by a bottle of Sesion tequila – the company the 34-year-old owns with her husband Jake Wall – the gesture was clearly appreciated by Elyse hours before she makes her runway debut for the retail giant.

Way back in 2006 I was approached by Myer to sign a small 3 month contract to feature in a Christmas campaign. Little did I know then that it would lead to being their Face and spokesperson. It’s now been an extraordinary relationship of 12 years! I’ve always been very proud and extremely grateful to work with such a beautiful and iconic company. I’ve been lucky enough to shoot some amazing campaigns both here and overseas and have had the opportunity to meet literally hundreds of thousands of loyal customers at store openings, launches etc, I have cherished every experience and memory. But after 12 years it’s time to move onto a new chapter in my life. I’ll be finishing up my role with Myer this November but I would like to take this moment to thank everyone at Myer – the staff, the amazing designers, the suppliers and everyone else for working alongside me over those 12 years. Myer will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish the Myer team every success for the future. Lots of love. ❤️
