At just fourteen years-old she was the youngest model to land a contract with Vogue Australia.

But model Kristy Hinze-Clark doesn't see a similar path in store for her two daughters, Dylan, 3, and three-month-old Harper.

Appearing on The Morning Show on Thursday, the 35-year-old revealed if her children ever asked to model, she would tell them to pursue education first - saying they can do what they want after they finish college.

Despite launching her own career as a teenager, clotheshorse Kristy doesn't seem to picture her own daughters as models, instead emphasising the importance of education.

When asked by morning show host Larry Emdur what she would do if her kids expressed a desire to enter the fashion world, the cover girl said she would first tell them to complete school.

'After you've finished college you can do what you want,' said Kristy, who left school early due to her flourishing career, returning to study later in life.

'I think it's very important that they get their education finished before they go on and do what they want to do.'

When pushed further about whether she would let her little girls pursue child modelling, the former Project Runway Australia host added, 'No, I  don't think so, it's not necessary.'

Kristy made history as the youngest model to gain an exclusive contract with Vogue Australia.

Since then she has appeared on the cover of multiple magazines and strutted her stuff on several catwalks.

In March 2009 she married 70-year-old Netscape founder James Clark, with the pair welcoming their first child Dylan into the world in September 2011.

On August 19, they celebrated the birth of their second daughter Harper.

This will be the first Christmas the small family have spent with Harper, making it an extra special occasion.

Kristy became James' fourth wife when they married in a four-day extravaganza on the Caribbean island of Virgin Gorda in 2009, with A-list guests including Naomi Watts, Liev Shreiber and Edward Norton.

After announcing her pregnancy in February, Kristy was forthright in broadcasting her fitness secrets to friends and fans on Twitter. 

Turning to Tracy Anderson, the trainer responsible for Nicole Richie and Gwyneth Palrow's enviable physiques, the blonde beauty was vocal about keeping up her fitness regime.

The program contains nine different workouts, one workout focused on each month of pregnancy, which Tracy filmed in real time during her 2012 pregnancy.
