    Elsa Hosk and her family bare it all for Vogue Scandinavia Words: Allyson Shiffman Photographer: Torbjørn Rødland Stylist: Tereza Ortiz Talent: Elsa Hosk Hair & Makeup: Lisa-Marie Powell Stylist Assistant: Antonina Getmanova In her two-decade career, Swedish supermodel Elsa Hosk thought she’d done it all. That is, until we invited her to pose naked on our cover alongside her family. Norwegian artist Torbjørn Rødland intimately captures Hosk as a model, a mother and an icon of our time. Here, we peel back the layers of the one and only Elsa Elsa Hosk and I are having technical difficulties. “Unable to access camera?” She says, quizzically. On my screen, a big black box stating “Elsa” where her face ought to be. “I had to do this on my phone,” she says. “Hold on.” As she attempts to tech support the issue, I panic-Google “Zoom iPhone camera not working.” Imagine interviewing Elsa Hosk and not getting to look at her. And then, the unmissable face of Sweden’s biggest supermodel appears. “Your hair looks amazing,” I say, dumbly. But really, it does – the embodiment of the phrase “beach waves.” “Oh, it’s wild,” she says. “I cut bangs and when you have curly hair, the bangs just become this eighties fluff.” She pats her curly fringe. “I’m trying to live with it.” She wears a relaxed, oatmeal-hued Khaite knit cardigan, her skin a colour that indicates she sees the sun regularly. I suddenly feel extremely pale, sitting in her home country of Sweden. Hosk is in the guest house of her Richard Neutra-designed mid-century Los Angeles home, which has been under renovation for some months now. “We’re actually bringing the house back to the way it was intended,” she says, noting that there are very specific requirements on what materials can be used and what changes can be made when restoring a historic home. Having previously lived in an expansive New York loft, Hosk and her partner, Tom Daly, moved cross-country shortly before the arrival of their daughter, Tuulikki Joan Daly. Born to a Swedish father and Finnish mother, Hosk grew up in Bromma, a charming Stockholm borough, surrounded by “very, very beautiful houses.” “It’s kind of a wealthy area,” she says. “We were not wealthy – we had this little house that my dad renovated himself.” How extraordinary that a girl from Bromma would go on to become one of the industry’s most famous faces. “It is weird,” she says. “No one ever expected that.” Though she currently has 7.2 million followers on Instagram, when Hosk, now 33, first dipped her toe into modelling, the platform was inconceivable. “Today it’s different, because girls grow up and they have Instagram, they have the internet and they know about celebrities and models,” she says. “When I was a teenager, we were literally going down to the town square and playing with a ball.” Her only connection to celebrity culture was via MTV, where she tuned in to devour episodes of The Simple Life. So, when a family friend suggested to Hosk’s father that he get the kids into modelling (Hosk has two brothers), Hosk had little insight into the world she was entering. She had just turned 13 when she first went to meet with Mikas, the Swedish agency that remains her mother agency to this day. “I even remember what I was wearing. I was wearing this green Diesel sweater – I was a total tomboy,” she says. “I had braces. I didn’t see myself as beautiful at all.” Her first modelling gig was for a company that provides food to local schools. The campaign appeared on the Swedish metro. “I was holding a plate with cooked sausage and vegetables,” she says. When things started picking up, Hosk’s dad got a motorcycle to zip his daughter to castings on her lunch break. Soon she was shooting for Guess, then later Versace, Balmain, Dior – the list goes on. Few models have managed to cross over into mainstream celebrity in the manner that Hosk has. For that, she largely credits one job in particular: Victoria’s Secret. The model got her wings in 2015, well before the brand was taken to task for promoting one very specific sort of beauty. “I came into VS at such a perfect time,” she says, noting that back then, the company put a lot of effort and money into building the personal brands of their Angels. “We would get up in the morning and be on Good Morning America to show the latest bra,” she says. “It was so crazy.” She received media training for her constant appearances, which ranged from showing up at in-store events to stopping by Jimmy Fallon with the other Angels – her “colleagues,” as she calls them – to promote the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Hosk got on Instagram early. Once her contract with VS ran out, she really “became herself” on the platform – expressing her innate sense of style as well as sharing personal struggles and how she’s overcome them. The model has been especially candid about her experience with drug and alcohol abuse, which eventually led her to sobriety at the age of 20. In her early teens, Hosk had plenty of obligations to “keep her accountable.” There was modelling, school and, perhaps most importantly, basketball, which she pursued at a professional level. But when she quit the latter and moved to New York to focus on modelling full time, there was less to keep her occupied. “I had to fill that with something, so I was getting into alcohol and drugs because I just felt empty. Like, ‘Who am I?’ I was lost,” she says. “But I think it would have happened any way, because I believe that when you’re an addict, an alcoholic, it’s in you.” She’s happy that “it happened” when she was so young. Sobriety taught Hosk about “showing up and being accountable” – she doubts she would have had such a thriving career had she not gotten sober. When I ask if it was challenging to suddenly be sober in the city that never sleeps, Hosk tells me it was quite the opposite. “I was so lucky to be in New York,” she says. “In Sweden at the time, it wasn’t very common that people were sober.” In the years that followed, ever y time she would return home there was a “pressure to drink.” Having lived in both cities myself, I can see her point. There’s a distinctly casual nature to drinking in Sweden, and alcohol plays a starring role in just about every celebration. In New York, Hosk had access to AA meetings “all over, at all times.” “There were such cool people going there – people to look up to, celebrities, models,” says Hosk. “It was such a vibe to be sober.” We shift topics to the more recent seismic change in Hosk’s life, the arrival of her daughter, Tuulikki. “It’s my mom’s middle name,” she says. “The Finnish names are so cute.” She begins running through the names of her family members – her grandma Pirkko, her aunt Pirjo. Tuulikki, whom they call Tuuli for short, also shares a name with a Finnish forest goddess. “When I was pregnant, I was craving green and nature,” says Hosk. “Then Tuuli came out and she is obsessed with green.” Leaves are Tuuli’s favourite – Hosk says she can be mesmerised by them for hours. Tuuli already shares a “strong connection” with the grandma for whom she is named. “She’s really scared of loud people, and my mom is so quiet – like a forest. She lives in her own little bubble and she’s so calm,” says Hosk. “[Tuuli] has a lot of that. She has this really thoughtful quality to her that my mum has.” For her very first Vogue cover shoot, Tuuli was characteristically easygoing – calmly exploring and playing. A natural, just like mom. Meanwhile, when Hosk called up Daly to ask him if he’d appear on the cover, naked, he had just one concern. “He was like, ‘But it’s in 10 days. I don’t have time to get ripped’.” I rang up photographer Torbjørn Rødland, who shot our cover at a house in Los Feliz, to ask what Hosk was like as a subject. One word comes up again and again: professional. “She’s attentive and serious about the task at hand,” he says, also noting that she was the first person on set, ahead of himself and his crew. “None of this, ‘hanging out and seeing what happens’ attitude.” The Norwegian artist, whose work has been exhibited from the Fondazione Prada to the Whitney Museum of American Art, embraced the “unpredictability” of baby Tuuli, who just wanted to “crawl away and explore the garden.” When Daly got off task, joking around or losing his concentration, Hosk got him back on track. “It was an interesting sort of banter,” says Rødland. Hosk met Daly, a Brit then living in New York, serendipitously, at his going away dinner at Indochine. Coincidentally, he was off to Stockholm to work for Acne Studios. “I was just invited randomly to this party and I was seated next to him,” Hosk says. “I was kind of in a relationship at the time and he was also in a relationship at the time, but I do remember it was love at first sight.” Daly recalls things a little bit differently. “She tells this amazing story that she always knew we were going to be together,” he says, when I reach him by phone a couple days later. “But I don’t know if we can quite believe her on that.” According to Daly, he was, in fact, single at the time and even asked Hosk to in troduce him to her female friends and “she did not.” A few years later, Daly moved back to New York to start a business of his own – a running eyewear and apparel brand called District Vision. As fate would have it, he set up shop right on Hosk’s street. Eventually, she asked him out. “He was so different from the guys I’d been dating. He was not possessive. He wasn’t a rich guy who wanted arm candy. He was just a normal, cool guy – super happy, very funny,” she says. “I was so nervous to make the first move,” says Daly. “It took me six weeks. I would walk her to her front door and just drop her off and carry on walking.” Apparently it worked. “I was kind of obsessed with him,” says Hosk. For Daly, appearing au natural on the cover of Vogue is a little out of the ordinary, though he has been “forced into” modelling next to his supermodel girlfriend in the past. I ask him what the experience is like and he says, “Well, you don’t want to stand next to Picasso and paint a picture while he’s painting.” For Hosk, however, it’s just another day at the office. Nudity has never been a big deal for the model. As is often the case in Sweden, she grew up in a family that “loved being naked.” “It’s not a sexual thing, it’s just a natural thing,” she says. “When you come to America, being naked is all about sex.” Her upbringing afforded her a comfort in her body that made it easier to, say, walk down the Victoria Secret runway in a $1 million fantasy bra, but she never really saw herself as a “sexy lingerie model.” To say people are obsessed with what Hosk wears is an understatement – every outfit is worthy of tabloid coverage and I am willing to bet a large chunk of her followers are there for the clothes (though she jokes that, “A big part of my following is probably not interested in that”). Recently, she’s taken her love of fashion one step further, stepping behind the scenes to collaborate with the likes of J Brand and Christopher Cloos. Up next, a brand of her very own: Helsa. “It’s very simple and sustainable,” she says. Everyday pieces you’ll wear again and again, based on “Scandinavian values.” With Tuuliki having just celebrated her first birthday, Hosk is still finding her work-life balance. “It’s like every parent says, but every day they discover something new,” she says. “I was in Milan yesterday and Tom sent me a video where she was calling for me, saying ‘Mama,’ and looking around.” Hosk widens her eyes, peering around the room. She’s making an effort to take on projects that can be executed from home – a new reality facilitated by the pandemic. Soon the renovation will be done and she and her family will be comfortably in their fantasy home. A little slice of paradise, a California dream. 3170489825.mp4

    COS stores interview Beyond motherhood Supermodel, entrepreneur and founder of maternal health non-profit Every Mother Counts, Christy Turlington Burns, on instigating social change, making a lasting impact and her greatest inspirations. Her name may be known the world over as one of the most important supermodels of the 1990s, making history on the catwalks of Versace, Calvin Klein and Jean Paul Gaultier, but Christy Turlington Burns’ (she/her) role as founder of the maternal health non-profit Every Mother Counts is arguably her most important to date. She founded the organisation in 2010 following the release of her documentary No Woman, No Cry, a study of the harrowing situations and statistics that result in maternal fatalities after her own traumatic birth experience. Twelve years on and operating in the United States, Guatemala, Haiti, Tanzania, India and Bangladesh, Every Mother Counts’ main objective is the same as it ever was: to ensure equal access to safe and respectful maternity care to everyone, everywhere. She shares with COS her goals for the organisation, her greatest inspirations and why she believes that when it comes to women being in a positive and supportive place it’s ‘work and sustainable change [that] will take us all the way.’ ON MAKING AN IMPACT ‘When I started this work and made my first documentary film, No Woman, No Cry, no one was talking about the maternal health crisis in the United States. The film was the first to put faces to the global statistics as maternal health was beginning to be added to development agendas. The focus of my advocacy work has always been to raise awareness, educate the public about safe birthing options, amplify women’s stories and invest in community-led programs around the world. I have learned that our stories matter and that sharing a birth story or parenting story with others helps to inform and prepare others. There’s solidarity in these experiences and that’s really powerful.’ ON INSTIGATING SOCIETAL CHANGE ‘In order to ensure healthy birth outcomes and positive birth experiences, we need to make sure our health systems are functioning; that providers of maternity care are equipped and continuously trained to compassionately care for patients [and that] birthing people should be at their optimum health before entering this phase of their lives. Individuals should have access to health providers before, during and after delivering. While there is still so much work to be done, there’s been progress as well. There’s more media coverage so there’s more awareness about health disparities and more legislation to address the inequities and root causes of them.’ ON THE IMPACT THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON MATERNAL HEALTH ‘We were as concerned as anyone could be from the early onslaught of Covid-19 [up until] now, [especially] given the populations we have always been dedicated to serving are the most marginalised. In those early days, we mobilised by leaning into the needs of our community-based partnered on the ground who are true experts and health-service providers in their communities. We also joined a Covid-19 maternity care taskforce in New York State, helped to open a free-standing birth centre in Manhattan when women and families were fearful of hospitals. As always, when emergencies or disaster strike, women and children are impacted. Especially those who have been historically marginalised. The lack of gender equity generally continues to impact women’s lives and poor maternal health outcomes are a key indicator of this. The pandemic highlighted that we are all vulnerable and that access to healthcare and safety is paramount for all. We are dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe and respectful for ever mother, every birthing person, everywhere.’ ON HER GREATEST INSPIRATIONS ‘I would have to say the matriarchs in my family are my greatest inspirations in life. My mother immigrated to Los Angeles from El Salvador in the 1940s as a young girl with her mother and younger brother. My grandmother had experienced the tragic loss of her youngest child and was ready to move on and start a new life. That choice afforded me countless opportunities in my own life and still does. I am forever grateful. In work, I am inspired daily working alongside women who are passionate about equitable access to maternal health care and committed to achieving birth justice for all. I am proud to know them and to stand by them with shared values and goals.’ ON BRIDGING THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE ‘This year, on April 5, The Dial Press and Random House will publish Arrival Stories, a revealing collection of more than 20 original essays about motherhood, curated by Amy Schumer and myself. It includes an incredible group of women, from actors and athletes to CEOs, writers, small business owners, birth workers, physicians, and activists; all sharing to their experiences of becoming mothers.’ When I look back at my first career, what I am most proud of are the relationships I have built over many years. [At the moment] I’m working with my old friends Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford on a documentary film project about our era in fashion with Imagine Films and Apple. [I’m] not certain of the exact timing, but it’s well underway now. I have taken that experience into every other aspect of my life and into my work leading a non-profit now. I am 100% dedicated to Every Mother Counts and see myself doing this work for as long as it takes.’ ON KEEPING A HEALTHY BODY AND MIND ‘I have been practicing yoga since I was 18. I practice as often as six times a week these days, I also have come to love distance running since running for the Every Mother Counts team back in 2011. I have completed nine full marathons and many more half marathons since, all to raise awareness and funds.’ ON HER PERSONAL STYLE EVOLUTION ‘I have always been a sort of less-is-more-person when it comes to fashion. I like well-made practical clothing that become classics. I have saved a lot [of keepsakes from my modelling career] but it’s not easily accessible. I guess I think of all that stuff as a bit of a time capsule.’ QUICKFIRE Q&A What is the last book you read and loved – and why? ‘The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation by Anna Malaika Tubbs.’ How would you describe your own style? ‘Minimalist.’ What is the last thing that made you smile? ‘My dogs, who sit at my feet all day when I am working or practicing yoga.’ Words by Scarlett Conlon Photography by Tim Elkaïm Styling by Clare Richardson
