Modeli Kerrie i Ella donose prozračnu estetiku sezone, spajajući lagane tkanine s odvažnim detaljima, dok istovremeno dijele svoju ljubav prema prirodi, modi i brizi o sebi. U ovom intervjuu, u sklopu naslovnice posljednjeg izdanja Grazije, otkrivaju čaroliju iza fotografiranja, svoju povezanost s konjima i osobne rituale ljepote za nadolazeću sezonu
Vaše fotografiranje u rustikalnom stilu s laganim, prozračnim kombinacijama izgleda očaravajuće. Kako ste se pripremale za snimanje i kako su odabrani stylinzi?
Kerrie i Ella: Hvala vam! Proljetna modna estetika za 2025. godinu okrenula se sanjarskom smjeru, pa su naši izgledi bili inspirirani upravo time – prozirnim tkaninama, detaljima ručne izrade i bogatim ukrasima poput perlica i veza.
Željele smo uravnotežiti tu prozračnost odvažnijim elementima, poput čizama i trapera, kako bismo uhvatile kontrast koji je bio toliko istaknut na pistama ove sezone. Kosa je ostavljena duga, lepršava i blago neuredna, s detaljima vrpci koji dodaju nježan dodir. Za pripremu smo napravile inspiracijsku ploču s poželjnim izgledima i pobrinule se da se dobro naspavamo! Nevjerojatan tim na setu pobrinuo se za sve ostalo.
Jesu li postojali neki posebni trenuci tijekom fotografiranja? Kako se razvila povezanost s konjima?
Kerrie: Snimanje se odvijalo na prekrasnom ranču u Calabasasu u Los Angelesu. Konji imaju jedinstvenu energiju – njihova prisutnost na setu odmah je djelovala umirujuće. Jedan od pastuha obožavao je pažnju i postao je prava zvijezda snimanja. To je definitivno bio jedan od najposebnije trenutaka, kad smo se zbližili s njim!
Ella: Dan je počeo predivno, ali tijekom snimanja drugog stylinga počela je kiša. Morali smo napraviti pauzu i pričekati da prestane, no atmosfera je bila ugodna – kiša je rijetkost u Los Angelesu! Oduvijek sam voljela biti okružena konjima; to su fascinantne životinje. Moja kći također je strastvena ljubiteljica konja, pa svaki vikend provodimo u stajama jer ona trenira jahanje. Druženje s konjima tijekom snimanja za mene je bilo potpuno prirodno.
Proljeće se povezuje s obnovom i cvjetanjem, a to raspoloženje predivno se odražava na vašem fotografiranju. Koje su neke od najljepših stvari koje su vam se dogodile u proljeće?
Kerrie: Uvijek je uzbudljivo izaći iz zimske hibernacije! Nakon kiše sve izgleda svježe, svijetlo i zeleno, stvarajući savršenu pozadinu za sunčane dane i prekrasna fotografiranja. Ovo godišnje doba posebno mi je značajno jer slavim rođendan na Dan planeta Zemlje – 22. travnja!
Ella: Obožavam prirodu i cvijeće, pa je uvijek čarobno vidjeti sve u cvatu. Proljeće je također vrijeme kad moja kći ima tjedan dana školskih praznika, pa koristimo priliku za putovanje i zabavu. Ove godine idemo u Disneyland za proljetne praznike!
Ljepota je jedna od glavnih tema vašeg fotografiranja, a vi je obje utjelovljujete. Kako definirate ljepotu i što vam je bilo najvažnije u njezinom izražavanju kroz ove fotografije?
Kerrie: Osjećam se najljepše kad sam sretna i okružena prirodom. Boravak u tako prekrasnom okruženju s izvrsnim timom učinio je ovo fotografiranje savršenim iskustvom. Hvala, Grazia, na tako pozitivnoj i inspirativnoj prilici!
Ella: Vjerujem da prava ljepota dolazi iznutra. Osjećam se najljepše kad sam samouvjerena, sretna i okružena ljudima koje volim. Svi koji su radili na fotografiranju bili su nevjerojatni i pomogli su mi da se osjećam lijepo. Fotografiranja su zaista timski rad!
Slažete li se s izrekom da ljepota zahtijeva žrtvu, poput svakodnevnog vježbanja? Kako održavate i unutarnju i vanjsku ljepotu te imate li sezonske rituale brige o sebi?
Kerrie: Mislim da ljepota i briga o sebi zahtijevaju određenu razinu discipline i posvećenosti, posebno u poslu modela. Pronalazak vježbe koja vam se sviđa, pridržavanje dosljedne rutine njege kože i stvaranje dugoročnih zdravih navika čine razliku. U proljeće volim ponovno započeti s aktivnostima na otvorenom poput planinarenja i plivanja. Također se fokusiram na piling i hidrataciju kako bih osvježila kožu nakon oštrijih zimskih mjeseci. No, kao i sa svime, ravnoteža je ključna, ponekad je najbolja tajna ljepote jednostavno opuštanje i uživanje!
Ella: Vjerujem da je briga o sebi ključna za dug i zdrav život. Nastojim vježbati pet dana u tjednu, a vikendom se odmarati. Moja prehrana temelji se na proteinima – puno ribe, piletine i mesa s povrćem. Svako jutro prije vježbanja popijem smoothie s vitaminima.
Za proljetnu rutinu njege kože usredotočujem se na hidrataciju, korištenje seruma za područje ispod očiju, svakodnevno nanošenje zaštite od sunca i odlazak na tretmane lica kada je potrebno.

Models Kerrie and Ella embrace the season’s ethereal aesthetic, blending airy
fabrics with edgy details while sharing their love for nature, fashion, and self-
care. In this interview, they reveal the magic behind the shoot, their connection with horses, and their personal beauty rituals for the season
Your rustic-style photoshoot with light, airy outfits looks stunning. How did you prepare for the shoot, and how were the looks selected?
Kerrie & Ella: Thank you! The spring fashion aesthetic for 2025 took on a dreamy direction, so our looks were inspired by that—sheer fabrics, intricate handicraft details, and heavy embellishments like beading and embroidery.
We wanted to balance this airiness with edgier elements, such as boots and denim, to capture the contrast that was so prominent on the catwalks this season. Hair was left long, flowing, and slightly undone, with ribbon details adding a delicate touch.
To prepare, we created a mood board of inspiring looks and made sure to get a good night’s sleep! The incredible team on set took care of everything else.
Were there any special moments during the shoot? How did the connection with the horses unfold?
Kerrie: The shoot took place at a stunning ranch in Calabasas, Los Angeles. Horses have such a unique energy—it was instantly calming to have them on set. One of the male horses absolutely loved the attention and became the star of the show. That was definitely one of the most special moments, getting up close and personal with him!
Ella: The day started beautifully, but while shooting the second look, it started to rain. We had to pause and wait it out, but it felt quite cosy—rain is rare in LA!
I’ve always loved being around horses; they’re such incredible animals. My daughter is passionate about them too, and we spend every weekend at the stables since she does horseback riding. Being around them during the shoot felt completely natural to me.
Spring is associated with renewal and blooming, and this mood is beautifully reflected in your shoot. What are some of the most wonderful things that have happened to you in spring?
Kerrie: It always feels exciting to emerge from winter hibernation! Everything looks fresh, bright, and green after the rain, creating the perfect backdrop for sunshine-filled days and beautiful photoshoots.
This season is especially meaningful for me because I celebrate my birthday on Earth Day—22nd April!
Ella: I love nature and flowers, so seeing everything in bloom is always magical. Spring is also when my daughter has a week off school, so we take the opportunity to travel and have some fun. This year, we’re heading to Disneyland for spring break!
Beauty is one of the central themes of your shoot, and you both embody it. How do you define beauty, and what was most important to you in expressing it through these photos?
Kerrie: I feel most beautiful when I’m happy and surrounded by nature. Being in such a stunning setting with an amazing team made this shoot the perfect experience. Thank you, Grazia, for such a positive and inspiring opportunity!
Ella: I believe that true beauty comes from within. I feel my most beautiful when I’m confident, happy, and surrounded by the people I love. Everyone who worked on the shoot was incredible, and they made me feel beautiful. Photoshoots are truly a team effort!
Do you agree with the saying that beauty requires sacrifice, such as working out every day? How do you maintain both inner and outer beauty, and do you have any seasonal self-care rituals?
Kerrie: I think beauty and self-care require a certain level of discipline and dedication, especially as a model. Finding a form of exercise that you enjoy, sticking to a consistent skincare routine, and building long-term healthy habits all make a difference.
In spring, I love getting back to outdoor activities like hiking and swimming. I also focus on exfoliation and hydration to refresh my skin after the harsher winter months. But, as with everything, balance is key—sometimes, the best beauty secret is simply letting go and having fun!
Ella: I do believe that taking care of ourselves is essential for a long, healthy life. I try to work out five days a week and rest on weekends. My diet focuses on protein—lots of fish, chicken, and meat with vegetables. Every morning before my workout, I have a smoothie with my vitamins.
For my spring skincare routine, I focus on hydration, using an under-eye serum, applying sunscreen daily, and getting facials when needed.
