“I feel comfortable in myself.” Her agency, IMG Models, says definitely – after the Prada show, it tweeted, “Don’t call it a comeback, @Gem_Ward is here to stay!” And next week Country Road will launch Ward as its new face in both print and a film campaign. It’s light-drenched, dreamy and lovely, and makes me want to dash out to buy the easy, crisp cottons Ward models. But even so, why did Ward, with all her couture credentials, pick this as her comeback gig? “The film concept appealed to me, and the storyline: a young woman goes back to a family beach house and is flooded with memories of childhood, and is bringing those memories to her daughter for the first time. I relate.” Naia also appears in the ad, looking adorable. Isn’t that asking for paparazzi trouble for this most private of public figures? “I think…” starts Ward, carefully. “You know, I think it’s really hard to stop that now. “Naia’s been in the papers already, without me sending in photos of her. I try not to struggle with it – there’s no point getting angry. “The Country Road film is different. It’s beautiful, it’s about family, about nature, holidays on the beach – something we can all relate to. “And it’s also, to some degree, about creating a lovely memory for us as a family. I am celebrating sharing her because she is such a welcoming character. “She’s very social, I see how much she enjoys being around people and so I feel generous about her. “But I think, well, obviously I want to protect her as well.” It’s clever of Country Road to get Ward, but it’s also clever of Ward to get them because in this moment, the one captured on film with Naia laughing in the sand and with the sun winking and the beach towel all scrumpled up, Ward leaves otherworldly behind and becomes just like the rest of us. I like the Country Road Gemma even better than I like the Prada Gemma, and that’s saying something. 文章内容、谁翻译下啊
