ATLANTA DE CADENET TAYLOR IS LIKE THE GIRL AT SCHOOL YOU ALWAYS wanted to be, with her swishy hair, year-round tan and air of self-confidence. Watching her model pieces from the new BOSS collection, it’s also clear that being in front of a camera comes naturally to her. She has, after all, had a lot of practice, thanks to her famous parents – mum is photographer, presenter and actress Amanda de Cadenet, dad is Duran Duran bassist John Taylor and stepdad is The Strokes guitarist Nick Valensi.

Celebrity offspring tend to balk at the mention of help from their parents, but de Cadenet Taylor is pretty cut and dried about it. ‘I would never be in the position I am if it weren’t for [them],’ she says. ‘People want to know what your deal is, where you come from. When you come from well-known parents, people are quicker to let you in.’
