Meet Kiwi model & business babe Jess Clarke

J E S S C L A R K E

Our favorite little Kiwi and world traveler, model and business babe, Jess Clarke caught up with us between adventures and after island-hopping in Hawaii to answer a few questions.

We loved Jess while shooting in Hawaii and miss her face every day. She’s full of energy and brings the best vibes whenever she’s around.

Read our quick Q&A below…

Tell us 3 things about yourself

1. I’m half M?ori and half new Zeldander

2. I’ve wondered around living in 22 different houses in 25 Years

3. I'm doing a business degree part time while I model and travel

 

 

Where is home? London for the most parts but I spend a lot of time in New York, Sydney and of course the Motherland NZ

 

 

Favorite part (or parts) about shooting in Kauai? Waking up to the smell of frangipanis and leaving the house with no shoes on

Advice for someone traveling to Kauai? Any can’t miss or must-sees? Can’t miss a fresh coconut roadside and adventuring down unruley paths to secret beaches

 

 

One piece or bikini? Bikini

Favorite look from the shoot? (or outfit and why)The sporty green bikini is chill but it also gives you cleavage haha. Am I allowed to say that? I’m not a girly girl but it’s nice when the detail and fit Makes a chill bikini kind of sexy. The t shirts are dope, such soft cuddly fabric for throwing on after a swim.

 

 

What’s in your beach bag? Tattoo Bubble gum, sand (always), sun block, some sort of ball, keys to my truck a bottle of kombucha and my contax t2

What’s your beauty routine look like? Any summer secrets? Face oil and salty spray for the hair. I get dark spots on my upper lip. Sunscreen and Dark spot corrector by Sisley is a must for me in the sun.

 

 

Where to next? Any island getaways…Capri! Not really a surf island but great pasta and pizza YEAH

Best advice you’ve been given? It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice.

What’s your advice to all the dreamers…Go hard, keep trying, KEEP DREAMING and love the process. Ups and downs it’s all supposed to happen in the end. We are all just winging it ;)
