"  Looking at a picture of Daria Werbowy is like exhaling. Her name sounds like that too: &amp;quot;Dari\u2026ah.&amp;quot; Girls want to look like her\u2014perhaps because she looks like a woman. In model years, Werbowy is now very much a lady. The Canadian beauty of Ukrainian descent, who started modeling at 14, just hit the big 3-0. &amp;quot;I actually felt something shift,&amp;quot; she says, playing with one of her many fine-gold rings on the set of her Bazaar shoot. &amp;quot;I was so relieved. I was like, I can do and say and be whatever I want now\u2014because I&amp;#039;m 30. There was a lot of surrendering.&amp;quot; She breaks into an easy laugh. &amp;quot;If I couldn&amp;#039;t figure it out in my 20s, I might as well just give up now!&amp;quot; She&amp;#039;d sauntered in an hour before, all long legs (in faded-denim straight jeans), long coat (a tweedy traditional Irish brand), and longer hair, now that her much imitated cropped bob, first displayed in a C\u00E9line campaign two years ago, has grown out. These days it&amp;#039;s a honey-colored tousle with a random blonde bit underneath. &amp;quot;Christiaan cut it short originally, and I&amp;#039;m shockingly low-maintenance. I&amp;#039;ll get it trimmed, but I haven&amp;#039;t really done anything to it since I got it cut. And underneath it&amp;#039;s all blonde, which is natural. I, like, pump my arm and blonde grows out. Like Barbie.&amp;quot; (In truth, sun, salt water, &amp;quot;and a little lemon.&amp;quot;) As for the rangy figure: &amp;quot;Ashtanga yoga. I&amp;#039;m addicted. I stopped drinking, so this is the way life goes. I&amp;#039;m a pretty extreme person\u2014if I say I&amp;#039;m going to sail across the Atlantic, I will.&amp;quot; (And she has, hence the two anchor tattoos on her fingers.) &amp;quot;And I&amp;#039;m very bendy.&amp;quot; Dirty-sounding chuckle. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always been bendy.&amp;quot; Werbowy&amp;#039;s working it all out\u2014in fact, she recently returned to modeling after a self-imposed hiatus. &amp;quot;I took a risk a couple of years ago where I decided to do the minimal amount that I could get away with, because I physically and mentally couldn&amp;#039;t handle it anymore. And it&amp;#039;s like, you have everything you want, what you dreamt of is coming true, you can&amp;#039;t buy anything else to make you happy, so then you think, Well, what else is there? And you have to leave.&amp;quot; So she did, traveling the globe, and moving to Cork, Ireland, with her carpenter boyfriend. And now that she&amp;#039;s back, it&amp;#039;s on her terms. &amp;quot;I work for a chunk of time, I do everything back-to-back, and then I&amp;#039;m completely off.&amp;quot; Of course, it&amp;#039;s a schedule afforded only to the fabulously successful model\u2014one who has been a face of Lanc\u00F4me since 2005, along with Isabel Marant, C\u00E9line, Diane von Furstenberg, Versace, and Salvatore Ferragamo, just last year\u2014but while Werbowy is the height of fashion, she doesn&amp;#039;t get lost on the climb. You won&amp;#039;t see her stumbling out of the Groucho Club; she&amp;#039;s more likely to be walking on a rocky Irish beach, in Cuba, India, or on a boat somewhere. (Observe her Instagram, @dotwillow, among more earthly images, like one of her with tea bags on her eyes, giving the finger.) &amp;quot;I started on Instagram because my family asked me to,&amp;quot; she explains, &amp;quot;because they never know where I am.&amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s true\u2014Werbowy kind of floats. She admits that living in Ireland is somewhat random. &amp;quot;Never in a million years did I think I&amp;#039;d be living there, but I never thought I&amp;#039;d be a successful model either. I never thought I&amp;#039;d fall in love with who I&amp;#039;m in love with.&amp;quot; About her boyfriend, you&amp;#039;ll merely get a joke: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s weird\u2014he&amp;#039;s a female priest. Me and Sin\u00E9ad, we&amp;#039;re supertight. Actually,&amp;quot; she adds, &amp;quot;I love Sin\u00E9ad O&amp;#039;Connor. She&amp;#039;s part of the reason I went to Ireland, I think, subconsciously. I love the letter she wrote to Miley Cyrus. It was brilliant.&amp;quot; When Werbowy works, though, she works hard. The face of Phoebe Philo&amp;#039;s C\u00E9line for the past three years, she sees &amp;quot;that woman&amp;quot; as a role. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;d be able to pull her off,&amp;quot; she says of the archly glamorous creature. &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know her, and I was like, &amp;#039;Oh, God, red nails,&amp;#039; but it just works.&amp;quot; She&amp;#039;s been friends with Philo since the designer&amp;#039;s Chlo\u00E9 days. &amp;quot;She makes me funnier. We just talk shit and get on really well. I give her a hard time and she gives me a hard time, and we laugh about it.&amp;quot; There&amp;#039;s a lot of C\u00E9line in Werbowy&amp;#039;s wardrobe too. &amp;quot;Yep, and I wear a lot of vintage. I go scrounging\u2014Kensington Market in Toronto is amazing, the flea markets in Brooklyn and Williamsburg.&amp;quot; Werbowy will keep exploring, physically and metaphorically. Workwise, maybe she&amp;#039;ll look into acting, maybe not. &amp;quot;Hello, HBO, I really want to be on Game of Thrones,&amp;quot; she says intently into the recorder. &amp;quot;I could be a warrior; I&amp;#039;ll do anything.&amp;quot; And she will. Tell her that she comes with an air of freedom and she looks pleased. &amp;quot;Yeah,&amp;quot; she says with a half smile, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d like to think I&amp;#039;m free.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
