priorities important needs
The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
fashion odds may
Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.
america guy going-out
America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.
fashion believe creativity
It's not that I don't believe in creativity and innovation and new ideas, and the creativity that comes with fashion, which I really respect. But one of my biggest concerns is just how cheap we expect everything to be.
real fall icons
Marilyn Monroe and Vivienne Leigh are real icons of mine. In terms of visual culture, they are both so iconic. There weren't any paparazzi shots of them falling out of taxis, so they will always look so incredible.
thinking ideas forever
I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.
artist eyebrows make-up-artist
Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.
school perspective found
I found going to school when I was modeling very grounding. It's really kept my perspective on bigger things in my life.
school hair culture
In British culture, redheads get teased at school. But I've grown up enough to realize I love my hair.
swim favourite things-to-do
If I'm anywhere close to where I can hike or swim, that's my favourite thing to do.
dream heart forever
I'll always try to follow my heart into things I love, and modelling is not something I'm dreaming of pursuing forever.
yoga wonderful feels
I love yoga. I don't do it as much as I'd like to, but I feel wonderful when I do.
appreciate survival far-away
It's hard to appreciate the importance of the rainforest because it seems so far away, but it's vital to the survival of the planet as we know it.
world computer very-happy
It doesn't make me very happy to be on my computer all the time. I've never been drawn to that world.
