Our club member of the year, Hanis Hussey has only been in Texas a couple of years, but she hit the ground running and has already become an integral part of the Southlake Women’s Club.

During her first year as a member Southlake Women’s Club, Hanis met the then program chair, Julie Walsh.  After hearing about Hanis’ extensive background in the fashion industry, Julie knew she needed to get Hanis involved with our annual fashion show.  Hanis has coordinated the fashion the last two years and has made it bigger, more professional and better than ever!

Hanis was born in Singapore and was discovered at a fashion show there as a teenager.  Hanis moved to Paris when she was only 16 years old.

She was chosen by Yves Saint Laurent himself to work as an in-house model, working exclusively for his label.  After her contract was up, she was hired by Givenchy, also as an in-house model. For years, she worked closely with many of the big names in the high fashion industry.

After settling down to have a family – her children are 29, 25 and 21 – she taught at a modeling school in Singapore. In 2016, she served as the catwalk coach for the contestants of Miss Universe Singapore.

Hanis and her husband moved from Singapore to Texas for his job. They found a home they love in Trophy Club. We are very lucky that Hanis chose to join Southlake Women’s Club and are very proud to have her as this years Club Member of the year!
