“I feel most powerful when I’m the underdog,” she told us. But that ice-cold stare and attitude to match, they’re taking her nowhere but the top. Walking 52 shows for SS 17 alone, she was tapped for Christian Dior’s feminist statement and made her power known at Saint Laurent. A tomboy from way back, ‘Salty’ to the ones who know her best, she calls Tilda Swinton a heroine and her hometown of Perth “the weirdest, wildest place on Earth”.
“My greatest adventure [was] driving 35 hours across the Nullarbor Plain to reach Port Lincoln and dive with great white sharks.”
My star sign is … Scorpio and Sagittarius. I believe in … The fact that climate change is real. I’ll always make time for … Long, deep conversation. I feel connected to … Nature. Love is … Never getting sick of someone. I couldn’t live without … Pen and paper and a film camera. Right now I’m listening to … Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd.
“My life mantra is ‘here for a good time not a long time’.”
"To recharge I go on road trips. One day I will drive from Chile to Alaska."
This world needs more … Conversation. My proudest moment is … A collection of moments where I know I worked really hard for them. I’m inspired by … People who do what they want! The most surreal job I’ve done was … When I was shooting in an old château in countryside France. The most exciting place right now is … London, and that probably won’t change. Growing up I used to think … I was a boy. But now I know … I am a girl. The one thing I’d tell my younger self is … Only buy it if you love it.
