Cara Delevingne sat down with Vogue writer, Plum Sykes, for a profile in the July 2014 issue. However, after reading what Sykes wrote about her, Cara Delevingne is speaking out and defending herself against the accusations the writer made about her work ethic.
Cara Delevingne has made a name for herself as a high fashion model, quirky Instragram user, and aspiring musician and actress. Fans can’t get enough of her funny pictures, poses, and personality. Delevingne has the ability to move through life effortlessly, never taking herself too seriously, and never trying to be perfect. The model always encourages her fans to do the same.
In the Vogue article, Sykes calls Delevingne, “everyone’s favorite rebel model.” But that is not what has Delevingne so upset. What offended Delevingne is the portrait that Sykes painted of her: an irresponsible model that arrives late and continually falls asleep during important interviews.
Sykes describes in the article how she arrived to Grace in Belgravia, the most elite spa in town, to interview Delevingne for Vogue. Sykes was on time, and Delevingne was not. Thirty minutes later, the high fashion model strolls in. Even though Sykes describes Delevingne as more beautiful than any photo ever taken of her, the writer then describes her as croaking hello. Not very flattering.
The article then depicts Delevingne’s upbringing as privileged, and it almost feels like a slam. It felt like Sykes was insinuating that Delevingne didn’t have to work hard to be where she is at today, and even hints that Cara might take everything she has for granted, since she comes from a wealthy, well-connected family.
Delevingne apologizes for being late, and suggests that they each have a massage to relax for the interview. Sykes agrees, and each girl goes into her massage. When Sykes is finished, she sits outside and waits for Delevingne, however, the model has fallen asleep again. The massage therapist asks if she should wake her, and Sykes says no, and gives Cara until lunchtime to sleep.
