TELL US ABOUT THE ELLE MACPHERSON BODY CAMPAIGN
I loved working with my dear friend and mentor Gilles Bensimon when we were shooting this campaign. There’s a coolness in the imagery that epitomizes the brand, reflecting the Australian lifestyle and its signature fresh, uncontrived spirit. We chose our model Kirsten Liljegren for her natural athletic body - a new type of sexy - and found when she put on the lingerie, she made it her own.
WHAT’S THE BEST LINGERIE BUYING ADVICE YOU CAN GIVE TO A WOMAN?
I believe true luxury is comfort and style. Getting fitted properly by a professional is vital! If underwear fits correctly it will make such a difference to your silhouette.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PIECE FROM YOUR COLLECTION?
The collection centres round ‘the body’ and so I would say the bodysuit is the focal piece that should form part of every woman’s wardrobe. It can be used as underwear to give women a more flattering shape, or worn as outerwear - dressed down with cut-off jeans or sexy under a suit.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE WAY TO START THE DAY?
With a smile! I aim to dedicate 20-30 minutes in the morning to meditate, preparing myself for the day ahead. My wellness routine starts with warm water and lemon first thing in the morning - then breakfast, then my Superelixr by WelleCo alkalizing greens in 500ml of water. Love, laughter and water (3 litres per day) are my key daily ingredients.
