Elle UK cover
Russell appears on the cover of the February 2014 issue of Elle UK magazine. She talks about living in a model apartment and being outspoken.
I came to a fitting and was like, ‘I don’t wear fur, cancel this show!’ Or, ‘I don’t want to go topless.’ A lot of [the clothing] is quite sheer, so I’d ask for a retouch. Remember, I wanted to be president, so I was quite outspoken and aggressive. There were a couple of people who didn’t work with me because of that. They were like: ‘You’re annoying.’
Self cover
Russell appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Self magazine. She talks about her TED talk, modelling, and politics.
I was just obsessed with politics. I guess my mom probably enhanced it when I asked her questions like, ‘Why are there homeless people?’ and she’d say, ‘Ronald Reagan.’
