On Karl Lagerfeld calling her the “girl of the moment”: “I started this hoping that it would have longevity. I didn’t come into this thinking it’s going to be a fun thing that I’m going to do on the side. It’s something I want to do my whole life. It’s a career, so I needed to be really gentle with it. We had to pick and choose things very specifically.”

Now she’s basically BFFs with Karl (who also shot the cover & editorial of Harper’s): “I’m really shy when I first meet someone—and to meet him was even worse. He would say something to me and I would just nod. It was like meeting a crush or something—I was mute. He probably thought I was the biggest weirdo. And then every time we’d see each other, it would just get better and better. Now we’re totally BFFs.”

On being model besties with Cara Delevingne, Joan Smalls, & Gigi Hadid: “Just through work. I think it’s super important. You have to be around these girls for work, for parties, for events, for shows, especially. It’s good to have a set of girlfriends that you can stand being around. You have to be around these people all the time!”

And, what’s ‘craycray Cara’ really like? “Amazingly crazy. We balance each other out. I chill her out and she makes me fun.”

The KUWTK star talks sister Kim’s style:  “I really admire Kim’s style. It’s insane. She really knows how to work her style with her body. I think she could be a major fashion icon. It’s so fun to be in Paris with her, but I’ll walk out and be like, ‘Oh, my God, I love my outfit,’ and then I’ll see Kim and I’ll be like, ‘My outfit sucks compared to yours!’”

On her dream date: “I don’t know, a nice dinner. I love, like, being outside at night. I know that sounds really random, but I love being on the beach or anywhere.”

The relatively newly single beauty let’s us in on her dating secrets. Surprisingly, her biggest tip doesn’t revolve around your outfit, but in your emotions, “What really works is to spend 15 minutes and focus on feelings and moments that have made you feel really good. Remember those moments so you can build up a positive force field around you.”

Secondly,  what to wear, “Something that you feel good in. Also, if you’re wearing good underwear—even if no one knows about it—it gives you that extra boost of confidence.” When asked WHAT kind of undies? “Oooh, I can’t tell you that.” She smiles. “But I do like the garter belt. Myla makes a great high-waisted one. Say it’s winter, and you have really nice underwear on, a garter belt, stockings, boots that come up, and a dress on over the top.” Wink. “No one needs to know.”

Although, Kerr, isn’t totally dating at the moment,  “I’ll go on a date here and there if it works. But at this point my priority is my son. I’m not looking for a relationship. I’m just not.”

She credits her modeling career to Nicolas Ghesquière, current designer of Louis Vuitton, previously creative director of Balenciaga, “Nicolas cast me before I was pregnant,” she recalls. “Then while I was pregnant, and after …” She says, “He really believed in me in a world where a lot of people don’t. If you’re in a certain category, they keep you in that category. I started more commercially, and sometimes it’s hard to go the other way, you know?”

On expanding her modeling to career to becoming owner/creator of KORA Organics: “I have to approach my career with a wink. Otherwise you can be really self-critical, because there’s always someone else. I’ve struggled with that. The perception is that I have it all. But in the modeling industry—and I’ve been in the industry since I was 13—it’s not all what it appears to be. People don’t realize that.”

On her adorable four year old son, Flynn:”He’s the sweetest boy, really so gentle and so loving and so—”. Adding, “I get a tear in my eye because I’m so proud of him. He’s really engaging and funny.”

On her ex Orlando Bloom: [Orlando] lives 30 seconds away. Flynn has the best of both worlds that way. Orlando will always be my family. We get on so well. We hang out a lot. We’re a team, and we really work on that because Flynn is our priority. We’re both really transparent about everything.” She laughs. “Even though we don’t need to be!”

Finally, this super-mom-model-woman needs to chill here & there – her laid back go-to? Silk robe, tea, water, “And nothing else. Just around the house. I love taking my shoes off and being in the grass. Or sunbaking naked. I wish I could go skinny-dipping in the ocean. If I didn’t have to worry about anyone taking my picture, I’d totally be out there. Yeah … ” She folds up her notepad. “I quite like to be naked.”
