Model mum Danielle is back in shape and back in business

In fashion, one day you're out, the next day you might be in again. Shying away from the runway for almost two years, Danielle Graham is back to her top-model shape after giving birth nine months ago.

Now based in Kuala Lumpur, the Irish-Chinese model was invited by Festival Walk to launch its latest beauty products campaign last week flanked by local model Marie Zhuge and Larisa Angela from Taiwan.

Graham appeared in an orange halter dress which flattered her yoga-toned figure. But compared to Zhuge and Angela, she looked a bit nervous - after all it was her first public appearance since she married Malaysian tycoon Patrick Khoo last year.

'I still need to lose a few pounds. But my husband wasn't too encouraging, he prefers me looking a bit chubby,' Graham says.

What she found harder than getting back in shape was to be parted from her baby boy while working overseas. 'I miss him so much. I saved his photos and video clips in my phone, so I can see him any time, any where.'

As soon as she finished the interviews at the event, Graham flew back to Malaysia to celebrate mother's day.
