photography fashion thinking
It's shot by Ben Rayner who I think is very talented at doing portrait photography as well as fashion photography. His images never look like a model. You know, it doesn't look like a faceless model just wearing whatever. There's always personality that comes through. That was quite important for me to capture.
kind introduction modeling
I actually found out about Ugg on a trip to Australia, which I guess is where they were born themselves. Everyone was wearing them there, kind of slightly ahead of when they caught on globally. This was in 2002 or so. Just after I left sixth form I was modeling and my best mate was Australian so I went over there to visit her. That was my introduction to the brand.
kind obvious
As soon as that was kind of green-lit, it became very obvious to me what I wanted to do and it was an instinctive reaction to my relationship with how I wear my Ugg boots. Which is in London and in New York, I wear them as soon as I get in basically.
everything-happens-for-a-reason sometimes reason
Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life just sucks.
nice pleasant hard
I'm not 100% nice all the time, so I find it quite hard to be really pleasant.
effort effortless
Looking effortless takes a lot of effort,
simple thinking chic
I think Maje typifies that French vibe where it's simple items that are very practical, very wearable but also, like, incredibly chic and expensive-looking.
role-models political roles
I'm not preaching about things you should do, I'm not political or anything. I'm probably not the best role model.
mom running fashion
I worry all the time that I'm going to run out of ideas, you know? I always tell my mom my fashion ideas, because I know she'll remember them.
france would-be want
I don't ever want to stop learning. And I really want to learn French fluently. It would be great to go and live in France.
bullying hate littles
I hate online bullying. Those little comment boxes can brim with the most vicious, acidic, and pointless remarks.
skins cream wells
I prefer using cream-based products on my skin. I love having that summery dewy skin - I like using cream blushers as well.
horse father grateful
My father taught me how to draw horses - for this I shall be eternally grateful.
