She’s got herself a universe. Born and raised in the Austrian countryside, hers was a childhood spent in nature’s heights. Though it’s NYC she now calls home, she says, “I always feel connected to the earth” – and if you want to catch her in a good mood, well, make sure to check the weather. A certified cool kid with ethereal looks and a progressive attitude, she’s a muse to the likes of Gucci and Chanel, Alexander Wang and Fenty Beauty – not to mention lensmen like Glen Luchford and Juergen Teller. It’s no wonder: Leo by the stars, if you could see her soul it might look something like a ray of light. This girl will be the first to tell you, “the more you give, the more you get”.
