I would definitely say my personal style is a lot of black and basic pieces, I like to keep it pretty simple with things I can wear a lot of times and just go with everything.
Thank you - I am so happy to be back here… spending time in Sydney over summer is such a welcome break from New York Winter. I really enjoy coming here and having a ‘working holiday’ - being able to go to the beach after a job is so special and not something you get to do anywhere else. It’s also so great to be able to spend time with my boyfriend's family and catch up with friends.
I have a black blazer that I thrifted, I put safety pins in the back and get so many compliments on this. I wear it all the time and it goes with everything. Plus my trench coat and black loafers.
The Effie Key Knit Maxi Dress in Khaki and Heidi Peplum Top for sure! I feel like I can wear this top with anything I already have in my wardrobe, and the khaki dress is just a super fun/comfy style I can put on quickly.
I used to always gravitate towards Bronte, but on this trip, I have spent more and more time at the harbour beaches, particularly Redleaf and Camp Cove. I love the little ocean pool at Redleaf with the floating pontoons that you can swim out to, and Camp Cove has the clearest most amazing water to swim in… both have great kiosks with great coffee.

I am currently rewatching Modern Family. I didn't realise how funny it was until I rewatched it.
Cooking Chicken Masala - it is my boyfriend's current favourite, so I am trying to master the sauce.
A hybrid. I have learnt to become a traveller through my line of work, and nowadays find myself feeling restless if I’m in one place for too long. But I guess like anything, there’s a tipping point. The excitement/freedom of being away from home is quickly replaced with a longing for stability and stillness. For ‘home’.
My sister and best friends and family, I have such a special relationship with those closest to me and the opposite time zone makes them feel very far away. Both New York and London can feel very busy and at times overwhelming, so it’s lovely to be able to step away from that energy for a moment to reset and be excited to get back.
I remember this shoot with you so well! It was my first ever job ever in Sydney and happened to be the day after I had landed from London and it was just so hot…. Pierre (who shot it) and I were actually reminiscing about this day and the heat of the cactus garden only the other day as we were on another very hot job together. This trip in 2014 when I shot with you was one of the first overseas trips I ever did as a model… and I have learnt much since then - about myself and the industry. I guess I am just so incredibly grateful for everything that this job has given me and all the lessons that it has taught me… I frequently think about how truly lucky I feel that this is the way I get to spend my days
Quite casual… I tend to gravitate towards tees / boxers / jeans most days, but can also really appreciate dressing up a little more for an occasion… the dress that you so kindly sent me, a few months ago I have worn for every occasion I’ve had recently and I always get so many compliments, so thank you for adding to my wardrobe essentials.
I really love the silky champagne coloured dress with the green stripe at the top. It actually reminds me of the dress I just mentioned in the question before… I am a creature of habit and always seem to gravitate towards similar pieces.
I think when I have the space (physically and mentally) that allows me to be creative. There are times when it feels like ‘life’ takes over and I’m ‘too busy’ and I realise I haven’t been creative for myself in so long. Or vice versa I have too much free time and feel uninspired to do anything… but in all honesty, both are just excuses and I know that when I do take a moment to invest time into creating, it brings me so much joy.
Time to myself. It’s taken me a while to realise how important this is to me as I also love being around my partner and friends… but having an hour or so in the morning to meditate or call my family or practice yoga has become so invaluable to me.

I would definitely say my personal style is a lot of black and basic pieces, I like to keep it pretty simple with things I can wear a lot of times and just go with everything.
I dress very much how I feel. I think I have a very classy, easy look. I pay a lot attention to good fabrics. I am not a fan of much color and I do love jewelry very much. Everything happens very instinctively.

Raw denim and a good shirt - in combination with the right jewelry, this outfit can go any way.
I really love the transparent pieces as well as the green shiny blouse.
Effie Key Knit Maxi Dress in Khaki and the Heidi Peplum Top for sure! I feel like I can wear this top with anything I already have in my wardrobe, and the khaki dress is just a super fun/comfy style I can put on quickly.

To choose my thoughts with mindfulness.
To be honest, I don’t remember. It was years ago now when I took my first selfie inside this elevator - to me it was/is just a normal elevator which I used daily so taking a selfie came naturally.
I dress very much how I feel. I think I have a very classy, easy look. I pay a lot attention to good fabrics. I am not a fan of much color and I do love jewelry very much. Everything happens very instinctively.
I have so many big and small artists or personalities I admire for so many different reasons - if it is a personal vision, advice, style, attitude... and of course there are some artist I always come back to, to search for more. To me inspiration is everywhere. I think sometimes it is more important to have the ambition to be inspired.

I can give you one quote from Cary Grant who meant a lot to me at the time I found it as it is still one key advice to success (whatever success means to you):
Â
‘I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person. Or he became me.’
I don’t like the imagination that protecting the earth became a trend as this should be a normal, everyday thing for any of us. But I am currently working on a garden project that came instinctively but feels so right into this time. It is all about understanding Mother Nature in a better, more intense way. Â

I think it is the perspective towards life, coming from all of your experiences good or bad, which shape your view on art, fashion… life in general, and at least on yourself, constantly new. And as our ambition should be to evolve every day, change came and will keep coming in everything I do, feel and in general existence. I grew up with with my job. And I am still growing up and I am at a point in my life where I want to feel more mature and I think you can see this in the whole progress I show in my work.
I just bought a house in Tuscany so this is and always was one of my dream projects, and surely will be one for lifetime.
