My World: Arizona Muse

Home is…

Kensington with my fiancé, Boniface, and seven-year-old son, Nikko. I was born in Arizona where I lived until I was nine. I feel like I’m from both places.

How often do you fly?

Once a week on average — on both business and economy. Obviously business is better.

Most memorable meal?

Caviar Kaspia in Paris serves caviar over a baked potato. I once went after a shoot with Mario Sorrenti and it was the most delicious thing. The caviar is warmed up over the hot baked potato, and then served with a very light crème fraîche.

What’s your favourite London landmark?

My big claim to fame is that my great-great-great-great grandfather was the architect of the Natural History Museum, so I love going there.

If you could buy any building in the world, which would it be?

The Eastern Columbia Building in LA; I absolutely love art deco architecture.

How do you stay in shape?

I love to go for runs in new cities. Over Christmas I ran up the river Saône in Lyon and discovered a beautiful island in the centre of the river called Île Barbe.

Favourite shoot location?

Vietnam was amazing. The shoot was around Hanoi and it’s just beautiful at night: they send tiny paper boats with tea lights in them down the river. Vietnamese food is a favourite, especially spring rolls with rice wrappers and Pho.

Handbag essential?

L’Occitane en Provence Four Roses hand cream. I love the scent of rose.

Your dream road-trip buddy?

I’d go with Bob Dylan in a big old square silver Cadillac and explore the American Deep South, places like Georgia and Louisiana. He wouldn’t even need to sing.

Extreme sport holiday you’d like to try?

Kitesurfing — Tarifa is a great spot. We once rented a little house just outside the town and the Spanish food was amazing.

Most romantic city?

Boniface proposed to me in Florence. He led me on a treasure hunt that ended on a roof terrace overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. He was waiting with roses, a table with two glasses of champagne and the ring. I am so lucky.

What’s your holiday soundtrack?

I love The xx. ‘Crystalised’ is my favourite track. Nikko is a fan as well. I suppose the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Advice for travelling in style?

Wear things that don’t change shape: jeans are good if they’re loose enough, and bring a little spritzer bottle of Jurlique to moisten your face.

Arizona Muse is the SS17 face of Chanel.
