We have a new lady crush and her name is Kate Bell, the new face of our Comfytails range of women's underwear. The 48 year old model and yoga teacher has us in AWE of her incredible physique and passion to stay fit (and flexible!) We caught up with Kate to find out what she looks for when shopping for underwear and whether her views on ageing have changed at all because of modelling. Read on...

What does it mean to be the face of the Bonds Comfytails range? I'm absolutely thrilled to represent such a cool iconic Aussie brand. I find it fabulous that they chose to go with an ancient model (kidding!) also because I truly am a comfy undie kinda girl.

What do you look for when shopping for underwear? Comfort and efficiency, but they must have a fresh sexiness. I still want to feel fab in comfy undies.

How do you like to feel when wearing underwear? Fresh, fit and sexy.

What do you like most about the Comfytails range? They're so yummy to wear and they look super cute and modern.

How did you get into modelling and what do you like best about it? I always wanted to be a model way back when no one I knew really did it. I walked into Ursula's (now Chic) model agency and started straight after my HSC. A year later I was in New York then Paris, and so on for 30 years!🙀  I've been so lucky regarding travel. I love working with different super talented creative people with every job.

Has modelling changed your views on ageing? Not really, ageing takes place. You never think it's gonna happen to you! You never give it a thought when your 20 or 30, then come 40 you start changing and all you can do is take real good care of yourself to last the distance. I'm a lover not a fighter.

What impact has yoga had on your life? Yoga has been my anchor, it has impacted and improved my life in pretty much every way.

What have been some of your least favourite underwear trends over the years? I'm not a fan of g-strings; I wear them only when completely necessary. I loathe that for the past 10 years I've been modelling super daggy granny undies for women my age+. My mum, who is 78, when sees me in campaigns says "who wears those things?"

Are there any uncomfy underwear tales from your past you can recall? Years ago when working on a live launch of a brand we won't mention (wink!) I had some sort of reaction to scratchy lace around my pantyline 😬  Not pleasant at all.
