in a simple white singlet, sitting in the sunshine on her sister’s balcony in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, New Zealand-born, international model Georgia Fowler could be on one of her fleeting visits back from her home base in New York. Except, this time she’s here for the long haul, in self-isolation along with the rest of Australia and staying busy keeping her two nieces, aged four and nearly three, entertained.
“It’s an extreme change of pace. I started modelling when I was 15, and I started travelling at 16. For the past three years, every four days or so I was on a plane doing a long-haul. I’m not very used to being in one country let alone being stuck inside,” the 27-year-old says via FaceTime. “It’s definitely different. But it’s just been so nice to get back to basics.”
Cooking and playing board games and sharing live at-home workouts with her one-million-plus Instagram followers is keeping her busy while work has largely had to come to a halt. “It’s all a change and I wish it was under better circumstances. But I’m trying to take it as it comes and think positive about it.”
