When was the moment you thought, ‘Yep, I’ve made it. I’m a real-life supermodel!’
Well, after I graduated I hitchhiked around the world and when I came back, I was asked to go with a little agency to Paris for a week, and try it out. I thought, ‘This is so naff and I can’t be bothered,’ but it was a free weekend in Paris and I had no money, so I was like, ‘Yey! Can I bring my boyfriend?’ I went down and never left. I was so lucky from the beginning, and in the first week I ran into Karl Lagerfeld and Peter Lindbergh. Karl booked me for the Chanel campaign, and it started from there! Then of course Herb Ritts, not long after, did the Chris Isaak video [’Wicked Game’]. I still have 16-year-old boys coming up to me and going, ‘Oh my God!’ I’m like, ‘God bless - I’m not in my bikini now!’
That was quite a pivotal moment for many a hormonal boy - quite a few gennelman round these parts didn’t know whether to fancy you or Chris Isaak!
Well you ended up fancying Chris, obviously! [laughs] I didn’t do my job very well! I’m happy that I helped you. I’m always trying to help with sexual orientations! It’s a good thing to be able to make a difference! But you know, it was just one of those iconic things and Herb was a wonderful, wonderful person. It’s so f*cking annoying that he had to go and succumb [Herb was HIV+ when he died of pneumonia-related complications in 2002]. But I’m so proud of having done that. And I’ll score on that video forever!
