What is your most treasured item of clothing?
A Dior by John Galliano coat. When I first started modelling I worked with John Galliano at Dior. One season, he invited me to a private archive that only the atelier had access to where I chose a coat from a collection I walked for.
What is the piece of fashion that you are still searching for?
I’d love a vintage Australian surf T-shirt.
What are your future fashion heirlooms?
I have pieces of my grandmother’s jewellery. I see her hands when I look at the rings and hear her laugh. Fashion when treated in the right way can be so emotive and last forever. I will give them to my daughter one day.
What is your favourite styling tip?
Dress for yourself! I think trends are really fun, but at the end of the day your body is totally unique and finding your own way of wearing something always feels better.
Who is your fashion icon?
Jane Birkin.
Which designers do you hunt for in vintage stores?
Yves Saint Laurent, Celine by Phoebe Philo, Jean Paul Gaultier.
What does luxury mean to you?
A well-worn and loved piece of gold jewellery, the sun on your body after coming out of the ocean, trees, a glass of water, health, long mornings in bed with my man.
What do you collect?
I love to draw and paint. When I’m traveling for work, I love to look at local art supply stores in different countries and find supplies.
What is in your capsule wardrobe?
A YSL tuxedo, white tank, loved pair of blue denim jeans, baggy men’s trousers, soft oversized sweater, vintage watch, cashmere socks, gold chain necklace, Gucci by Tom Ford black dress, well-cut one-piece swimsuit with a low back, white shorts, and sneakers to work out in.
