InStyle: Growing up did you always want to be a model?
IW: "No! I only started realising at around 13 that I wanted to be model. Growing up, I always wanted to be in a creative job department. And I also used to say at 9-years-old that one day I wanted to be a star. And a vet - but I’m too scared of blood now."
InStyle: Can you tell us about your new role with Bonds?
IW: "I am the new Bonds girl! It’s an honour for me to stand next to amazing talents such as Miranda Kerr and my great friend Sarah Ellen. I feel so lucky that they chose to work with me, as the New Era collection was inspired by the 90s and it fits in pretty well with my personal style. The collection reminded me of a market in Bali where I find the best 90s style streetwear."
InStyle: Talk us through your daily beauty regimen…
IW: "I wash my face in the shower with only water in the morning (well) and once with natural gentle face exfoliator at night (always finish off with cold water to close my pores). After the shower, I have in a spray tube a mix of mineral water and 1/4 apple cider vinegar. I spray it on a cotton pad and apply on my face. Then I use rose hip oil to moisturise."
InStyle: What does your typical day on a plate look like?
IW: "I love food! Especially vegetarian food. I am not a vegetarian, but barely eat meat and am naturally cutting it out, simply because I don’t crave it as much. But yeah, I love food, fruits and sweet things. It’s all about balance and being aware of what you are consuming."
InStyle: Do you have cheat meals?
IW: "I don’t really think of it as a cheat meal, because if I did I would want it even more. I just eat it whenever I feel like but my body naturally craves healthy food. I love healthy, real food."
InStyle: How do you keep fit?
IW: "I do reformer/ floor Pilates and more intense studio classes."
InStyle: You have over a million Instagram followers, any tips for taking the perfect selfie?
IW: "Good lighting/feeling yourself!"
InStyle: What do you miss most about Bali when you’re away?
IW: "Food, beaches, family, my dogs, my 7 (!) cats, my Bali family, the rice fields. Everything but the too crazy / busy side of it. I miss the islands around Indonesia that are more deserted."
InStyle: What’s your everyday uniform?
IW: "Vintage clothes, casual/ hippie, beachy or in a sarong around the house. If I go out, I like to stay elegant."
InStyle: Describe your personal style in just three words?
IW: "Casual, hippie, edgy."
