Marisa Miller strikes a pose in Luca Luca on the cover of Boston Common’s summer issue. Here’s what the 32-year-old model had to share with the mag:
On getting discovered by fashion photographer Mario Testino at the beach 10 years ago: “I had no idea who he was, no clue what he was talking about. I was so fortunate to start with someone like him, because the doors just got opened by association.”
On getting used to being in front of the camera: “It’s not really in my personality to be the center of attention, so that’s something I’ve had to learn to grow comfortable with. Any of my friends from home would tell you that I’m the same person they knew growing up. It’s really important to surround yourself with people who bring you down to earth and whoa re genuine and real.”
On getting her motorcycle license two years ago: “I think the term ‘biker chick’ comes with some stereotypes, but that’s one of the things I really like about working with Harley [Davidson]. We are breaking down stereotypes of what and who a biker is.”
