I usually have a lip balm in my bag and mascara as well. I don’t really wear much make-up, but I like mascara because I’ve got fair colouring.
I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.
It doesn’t make me very happy to be on my computer all the time. I’ve never been drawn to that world.
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.
I love yoga. I don’t do it as much as I’d like to, but I feel wonderful when I do.
I’ll always try to follow my heart into things I love, and modelling is not something I’m dreaming of pursuing forever.
If I’m anywhere close to where I can hike or swim, that’s my favourite thing to do.
In British culture, redheads get teased at school. But I’ve grown up enough to realize I love my hair.
I found going to school when I was modeling very grounding. It’s really kept my perspective on bigger things in my life.
Don’t overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I’ve always remembered it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they’re not.
The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
I part-own a bookshop for some strange coincidence of reasons, and it is one of the best things I part-own in my life, or own in my life. I do not know, it just feels great.
I think a lot of the most interesting work in art and in films are often kind of polarized opinions and affect people in very different ways, which may be less successful commercially, but they elicit a dialogue that’s quite interesting.
I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I’m in.
I love beautiful things; I like having nice clothes, and I can appreciate why other people do – but I’ve also started to learn more about the impact of what we buy: how things are made, how much you buy and the quality of everything.
I would like better colouration of my legs, like a little less of that English mottled purple thing that makes it necessary to wear tights all the time.
