Freja Covers WSJ. Magazine's September Women's Fashion Issue

Gracing the cover of WSJ. Magazine's September Women's Fashion issue -- the largest issue ever in the magazine's seven-year history -- is Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen. Amongst a lush green backdrop, Freja wears Gucci, Isabel Marant, Chloé and more in an editorial designed to "evoke the romantic spirit of hazy, lazy afternoons in easy pieces and flocculent outerwear from the fall collections." In a correlating interview, the self-described tomboy-turned-model talks about what she loves about her career and why her androgynous look has been advantageous. More details are below. 

The September Women's Fashion issue hits newsstands on Saturday, August 15

Freja On:

• Not anticipating having a modeling career: “I grew up playing soccer with the boys—quite far from reading magazines”
• What she thought during her first modeling job when the makeup artist painted a large circle around her eye: “What did I get myself into?"
• Why her androgynous look is advantageous:  “I became one of the androgynous models, which wasn’t that far out of my comfort zone.”
• What she enjoys most about her modeling career: “I love the process— collaborating with the photographers, traveling and seeing different cultures. My mother always said I would regret it if I didn’t do it. And I think she was right.”
