Miranda Kerr

One of the first things that interviewers and friends always ask me, when they discover that I am an ecofashion fanatic is where do I look for inspiration, or more so, who is emulates my style.

The first woman who comes to mind is Miranda Kerr.

Not only is she beautiful but she (or her stylist... either one) has a great eye for sophisticated yet low maintenance fashion with a hint of sex appeal.


She is the only celebrity whom I adore in every outfit. I usually steer away from tracking the rich and famous because one, I cannot afford 1/100th of the things they buy (or are given by marketing dept. and two because most often, I find them to look high maintenance. It is clear that Kerr's laid back style stems from her beliefs and values. For instance, Kerr has her own natural and organic skin care line that she started during her pregnancy. Kora Organics' brand mission states "To inspire people globally to nurture their bodies, embrace their unique beauty and understand the benefits of using organic skincare". With brand values such as education, integrity, community and self esteem, who wouldn't want to buy lotions and potions from Miranda. As famous as she is, putting her money and name to use, sharing a wholesome message with her fans.


She also took part in a Rag&Bone advertising campaign, where all the models were given their clothing and told to take their own photos with a friend, no make-up, no glitz, just fashion.  On holiday in Scotland, Orlando, with a regular camera and no editing (as stipulated by Rag&Bone) shot some photos of her on the rock beaches.

I often have a hard time seeing the balance between intellectual stimulation and a passion for clothes. Yes there are plenty of brilliant minds in the fashion industry whether it creative vision or a great pen, but eventually there comes a disconnect with reality, because the fashion industry is so cut-throat. Miranda is not one of them.
