It might not be surprising that Theodora Richards ended up knee-deep in the fashion world, since her mother is modeling legend Patti Hansen (and her father is Keith Richards). But Richards's recent move into the world of denim might seem like a curveball, since the glam offspring has been draped in high fashion practically since birth.
She has been photographed by the world's most fabulous
photographers, including Terry Richardson, Mario Testino, Annie
Liebovitz, Bruce Weber and Peter Lindbergh. She's appeared on the covers
of Tatler and Rolling Stone, as well as inside numerous issues of Vogue,
Bazaar, Glamour and W. What's been her most fun fashion adventure?
"L'Officiel made me a guest editor for Fashion Week in Paris," she says.
"I was in a relationship at the time, so it was me and the boyfriend in
France while I was working. I hadn't done anything textbook romantic
before." Then she was approached by the denim company 4Stroke Denim, who
were looking for a new spokesmodel. Richards seemed like their girl.
Taso Karras, the line's designer, says, "Theo was chosen because of her
love and connection to music. Her attitude, her style, her personality."
The line is inspired by pop culture and, now, Richards -- there aren't many
22-year-olds who are helping with the creative direction of a major
denim company. "It's such a compliment they chose me," she says. "I'm
honored to be working with such a fantastic team."
