Arizona Muse Covers Special ELLE UK Collector’s Issue
American fashion model Arizona Muse is the cover star of a special collector’s cover of British ELLE‘s November Issue.
Captured by fashion photographer Kerry Hallihan with styling by Anne-Marie Curtis, the Tucson-born beauty is a dream in a series of picturesque beach inspired shots, sporting a varerty of Jumpers and cool-weather outfits.
In her interview with the glossy, she opens up about femininity, fame, family and how growing up a tomboy made her a more confident woman.
On her childhood: ‘All of my friends were trying to be as tough as the boys. I didn’t wear any nail polish, wouldn’t put on make-up. I was curious about it but it wasn’t cool, which is really strange. I wish that it had been encouraged and fostered, to see what it’s like to be girlie, and to try these really feminine things that are fun and that I really enjoy now.’
On Instagram: ‘I haven’t been working for very long. My career is one of the shortest ones. And I’ve seen so much change already. The Instagramming! I don’t want to see what someone’s having for breakfast every day. And I forget to take selfies. So many missed selfie opportunities! And then when I do it I wonder, “Oh my god, is this weird? Are people going to think I’m showing off?” It’s a weird feeling of insecurity and wondering if anyone is going to like the picture.’
On Friendship: ‘It’s better than therapy because you get to talk through your problems while still having fun together. I’ve become a lot clearer about my boundaries. Like, this is what’s going to happen, this is what I’m OK with. And I’ve learned to read people better.’
On Sexuality: ‘I think that bisexuality and heterosexuality and homosexuality all exist, and they all need to be honoured. And I also think that, in a way, sometimes we’re just making too big a dealout of it. It’s like, just let people do their thing and move on.’
