How did you find shooting in Paris?

It was one of the best shoots I’ve ever done. The team was amazing — so gentle, dynamic, arty, and creative. I loved every moment of it.

What are your passions?

I love embroidery, staying active with sports and Pilates, cooking, and spending time in museums around Paris to discover new artists.

What do you think it is about Paris that makes it such an amazing city to shoot in?

I think it’s the atmosphere and the culture; you can feel it in every corner of the city. I don’t really like the people sometimes — they can be a bit mean — but that’s okay.

How did the clothes make you feel?

Oh la la, I felt like a goddess. I felt so confident, so beautiful, and so happy. That’s rare, because sometimes you can feel a little uncomfortable in certain outfits, but everything from With Harper Lu was amazing. The quality was incredible, and the fabrics were so soft and luxurious to wear.

What was your favourite look?

I think I have two favourites — the polka dots and the white frill dress. With the wind, it was just magical. I felt like Marilyn Monroe.

How did you hear about With Harper Lu?

When my agent told me I was shooting with With Harper Lu, I was so happy because I already loved the brand. I had seen you on Instagram and thought, “I need to shoot with them one day,” because every collection looked incredible, and I knew the clothes would suit my identity perfectly.

 

What makes you feel most confident?

I feel most confident when the clothes are truly comfortable, match the colours I love, and allow me to move easily. When I can spend the whole day wearing something and feel great, that’s confidence for me.

What collection were you shooting today?

Today we were shooting With Harper Lu’s upcoming collection, New Era — or as I would say in French, Nouvelle Ère.
