You wore biker boots and hundreds of carats worth of diamonds for this shoot. Does that reflect your style?

If my style is [about] feeling comfortable and confident, then yes! This shoot is so incredible. Max Papendieck is an incredible photographer; we just put on a playlist, played and had a great time. Charles Varenne, who styled the shoot, really wanted to work with me to create looks that complemented my personality. I love styling that amplifies my individuality. We wanted to do something really exciting and dynamic with the jewellery that felt very true to who I am, which definitely had a big touch of the street style attitude in here. It felt bold, loud, strong and elegant in a modern and fresh way — which is something that I think the jewellery, Panthère de Cartier, represents!

I read that you often buy garments in the men’s section. If you could pinch something from your dad’s wardrobe, what would it be?

Yes, I incorporate men’s clothes into my style. Sometimes the cut of the clothes fits me better and I like the way they hang on me too because I am tall. If there was one thing I would steal, it would definitely be his utility pants. I really like wearing clothes that are practical; something that makes me feel ready to do anything.
