She describes her professional balance as being “40 per cent modelling, 40 per cent photography and 20 per cent all kinds of strange, interesting, weird stuff”, and, unlike some members of the ‘Magnificent Seven’, her collaborations always have a genuine rather than a ‘big bucks’ feel to them. Which is presumably why she has been chosen to design for and spearhead this latest fashion campaign for Thomson (each of the designs is inspired by a different Caribbean destination).”When I go away I’m so low key that I only bring hand luggage, because the whole airport thing is so frustrating,” she sighs. “So we really wanted to design a shirt with a very casual, loose and deconstructed fit that could double up as a mini-dress with a belt and take you from day into night.
“Because sometimes I’ll get some place and realise I’ve brought too little,” she laughs. “I always run out of underwear, for example, so I’m forever washing it. I’ll literally go on a three-day trip and only bring one pair of underwear. Then I’ll think: ‘What are you going to do now – turn them over, or what?’ And by the way,” she’s quick to point out, “I’ve never done that.”
