With Ruby Rose

Model and actress Ruby Rose knows she doesn’t fit into your preconceived notion, and that’s exactly how she likes it.

When I was still in school, I followed all of the trends.

 I wore messy eyeliner and SPF 80 when I listened to Nirvana. I stopped wearing eyeliner completely when I discovered Annie Lennox and Sinéad O’Connor. And you can imagine all the makeup I wore in my Madonna, Bowie, and Blondie phase. I had dress-up parties, scoured thrift shops, and experimented with hair colors. Plus, my mum was and is a megababe, and she taught me to be expressive through fashion and art and makeup. She raised me in an environment where everyone was embraced for their quirks and idiosyncrasies. She taught me to have a sense of self and identity.
