Backstage at the Victoria’s Secret show is pure madness. Big personalities, big hair, and tons of press.
My favorite memory from school was going to football games with my friends. We always had so much spirit and dressed up to go to the games, even though our team was pretty bad.
My exercise varies from yoga to Pilates. The yoga provides me with achieving my balance and mental relaxation, whereas the Pilates allow me to work my inner core through stretching and keeping my muscles toned.
Music is definitely my mood master. It’s a must have for me on set, and in my life to inspire and motivate me.
It’s people’s own prerogative to be able to look at something and know the difference between ‘this is what someone looks like with make-up on’ and ‘this is what they look like in real life.’
I went to a private Jewish school before high school, and a lot of the kids had beautiful homes, but my parents don’t really care about those kinds of things.
I was such a tomboy – goofy and, in my eyes, nerdy – and I never thought I would end up in modeling. I mean, you see pictures of these girls in magazines who have this incredible talent, and no one ever really thinks you can make it to that level. At least I didn’t!
My interest in fragrance is really a personal thing. I’ve always gravitated toward them and appreciate the subtle, meaningful way they express who you are.
I love to learn, and Victoria’s Secret has given me more opportunities than I ever thought possible. I like doing things that scare me – I’ve learned never to doubt myself.
Australian people are dope. They’re so fun. They want to just have a good time, and they have a great sense of humour.
I actually have a little routine I do before every shoot. I put a face mask on before bed and make sure I go to sleep early. Then, I get up early and make myself breakfast and get in a workout.
Fragrance for me is never after or only, it’s everything. I am a fragrance connoisseur.
It’s important to be fit, but you shouldn’t get too skinny. You need to have curves.
At home, I don’t like to be just sitting around; I like to go out and do things. It’s when I’m the happiest.
As a model, you’re such a gypsy, so that ‘home’ element is kind of taken from you.
I really believe in less is more. It’s more sophisticated to look look and fresh and make a statement in one place.
The short amount of time I’m out on the runway is like going on a rollercoaster. It’s such a happy, exciting feeling. I’m more like a racehorse ready to go – I just want to get out there.
I work out twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. I’ll start with half an hour of running and then some yoga to stretch everything out so everything is warm.
I think that, like any art, fashion is about expression. It allows you to express yourself and your identity through what you choose to wear.
I love seeing new places and meeting new people. I’m sort of addicted to traveling.
