In the spirit of the #HonestGram my beautiful friend @OlgaKurylenkoOfficial asked me to share a post talking from the heart and giving the backstory behind a seemingly perfect picture (take a look at her BAFTA post a few days back). So here goes... I came to the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, possibly the least confident I have felt in a while. If you know me, you know, I’ll talk to anyone with ease and fear very little to be honest. Still it was my first time attending a busy work summit pregnant (last flight I am allowed to take) and with that comes an unexpected vulnerability and self-consciousness. This is how I know clothes provide a level of armour and protection, because I definitely used them for those purposes these past 2 days. After the Celebration Dinner I took this picture - my ankles were twice their usual size but I walked, no hobbled, away with the most incredible connections (with those tagged and many more). Most likely because I shared with them how I was feeling - from the fatigue, fear of descending stairs, across to my swollen feet and not knowing how to even stand in pictures anymore - we connected on a human level first, with who knows what will come next. My posts about the summit can be found on our profile @RedCarpetGreenD. Moral of the story? Be kind, everyone is facing a battle. P.S @RosarioDawson, look who I connected with!
