Behati Prinsloo puts a whole new meaning to that hippie-boho chic look. The VS Model is a natural beauty for Net-A-Porter’s The Edit photographed by Chris Colls & styled by Maya Zepinic – Prinsloo rocks 70s inspired pieces from Valentino, Chloe, Proenza Schouler & more.
The editorial does a pretty good job at depicting her true fashion choices, Behati says of her Model off duty style, “My look is grungy, very rock ‘n’ roll. I love the ’70s; I love the vibe. The music I listen to most is Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, punk. That’s why The Edit’s shoot was so cool.” Adding her must-haves, “cut-off shorts, Dr. Martens, Rag & Bone jeans, lots of vintage rock tees from secondhand shops.”
Born in Namibia – the 25 year old grew up speaking Afrikaans & was educated in English, she says,“I was a tomboy. My mum sent me pictures from when I was a kid – in ones where I’m in a dress, I look so cross.”
On her modeling career she adds, “Growing up, I’d look at magazines and think, ‘These pretty girls are actually doctors, right?’ I didn’t even know about Kate Moss.”
Interestingly enough, Behati was actually discovered by Storm Model Management founder Sarah Doukas, who discovered Moss back in 1988. LOL.
The newlywed (married Adam Levine) opes up about Victoria’s Secret, “I was so nervous in the beginning. You’re in your underwear in front of all these staring people. But it really does motivate you to be your best and look your best. All the girls are doing squats backstage!”
