Cara Delevingne Covers 'W' Magazine September 2013

Cara Delevingne is the anti-role model on the cover of W Magazine‘s September 2013 issue, on newsstands August 15.

Here is what the 21-year-old British model had to share with the mag:

On advice from Rihanna: “I was just on holiday for three days in Greece with my sister, and I thought that would make me happy and relaxed. But when I stop everything, it’s really bad. I go crazy. In Greece, it was a lot of couples, and I felt alone, which made me sad. I called Rihanna, and she said, ‘It’s easy to drown yourself in work. That’s a form of escapism. So, if you’re alone and you want to cry, cry.’ And I did. But by then, it was time to leave and get back to my life.”

On people thinking she’s a wild child: “Everyone worries about me. It’s hard for my family, and I know I have to be careful. People have to realize that I can take care of myself. I’ve done a great job so far.”

On battling a skin condition: “It only happened during Fashion Week! Which is, of course, the worst time of the year for me to be covered in scabs. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and I’m sensitive. Kate [Moss] saw me before the Louis Vuitton show, at 3 a.m., when I was being painted by people to cover the scabs. She got me a doctor that afternoon; Kate gives really good advice.”
