The face of Cartier’s new Clash de Cartier fine jewellery collection, British actress Kaya Scodelario speaks to BAZAAR on starring in her first brand campaign and embracing all aspects of being a woman.
Having starred as Effy Stonem on British teen television series, Skins, since age 14, British actress Kaya Scodelario has been acting for more than half her life. Fast forward to today and the 27-year-old has chalked up even more notable film productions to her name (like Maze Runner and Pirates of the Caribbean), while 2019 will see her taking on a myriad of interesting roles that span the gamut from aspiring Olympic ice skater to wife of a serial killer. This actress to watch is clearly not a cookie-cutter beauty: Scodelario’s fiercely independent and feisty nature has seen her speak out unabashedly on feminist causes and the issues plaguing Tinseltown, while pursuing projects that push the boundaries of her art.
Then, there’s the fact that she’s just signed on to her first-ever campaign gig as the face of Cartier’s Clash de Cartier, a jewellery collection that celebrates the diversity of women—something that Scodelario identifies with. Not bad for a girl who once described herself in an interview as “the opposite of that kind of ideal, cool girl thing”.
From the “freaky but quite wonderful” experience of seeing her face appear on billboards across the globe, to wanting to work with unknown female directors with a story to tell, Scodelario shares her passions and dreams with Kenneth Goh in Paris.
