A
nna Ewers, 23, is being demographically appropriate: She’s on the phone while
playing ping-pong in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, the spiritual home of 23-year-old
models. “I’m playing ping-pong for my workout,” she says jokingly. The Germanborn
model adds, very Germanically, “I was playing yesterday for two hours.
And today I’m playing for another two hours!”
It’s actually some rare time spent at home for Ewers, who in the first three weeks
of the year has already logged work trips to Mexico, Barbados, and Los Angeles.
Ewers’s moment, launched by Alexander Wang in his Spring 2014 show, has
displayed no sign of ebbing. Besides more than 100 editorials and magazine covers,
she is a face of Wang, Balenciaga, and Boss, transforming from Teutonic
minimalist to a comely Bardot with a sweep of eye shadow.
For the Clemente session, Ewers was very much herself—well, a Versace version
of herself. When I’d suggested the idea of having her portrait done by him, she jumped at the chance. “It’s so
amazing that he painted me. He is a super-famous artist, so it’s really cool,” she says. “I think he captured me as I am,”
she says of her three-hour sitting. “And we took a few cigarette breaks, which was really good.”
Ewers has had a long appreciation (for a 23-year-old) of art. Her favorite painting is Andrew Wyeth’s haunting
Christina’s World. Like so many girls, she has a postcard of it bought from a museum store. “I don’t know why I love
it so much,” she says.“It’s just an amazing
painting.” She also has a love of Sebastião
Salgado’s photography. “I go to museums
to look at things, and I get lost.”
Her 20s, so far, have been working out
just great. “They’ve probably been the
most exciting years of my life. A lot is
going on.” While she’s more established,
she’s simultaneously more hectic. “I am
getting more and more work, but at the
same time I’m getting into the rhythm
and getting used to traveling so much.”
She adds with the lightest boast, “Oh,
I can sleep whenever, wherever.” What about coffee? “I can also drink a lot of coffee and sleep afterward. I think
it’s because I’m young.” (Insert a yelp from every thirtysomething woman on earth.)
In a relatively short career, there have been many highlights. “My first Harper’s Bazaar cover!” Ewers prudently
notes of her debut on our pages last year. “My first Balenciaga show. My first Prada campaign, because it was my
first big campaign. And my first Alexander Wang campaign, which was definitely the most exciting one because
I was just starting out, and I was like, ‘Whoa, this is amazing.’”
Ask about an older woman Ewers admires and she rather adorably replies, “Daria Werbowy [who is 32]. She’s
supercool, she’s not too much on social media, and I don’t think she cares too much about fashion—like
I don’t.” Ewers has yet to meet Werbowy, “but her career is impressive, and she’s super chill.”
Ewers’s style is also super chill. She wears a lot of Alexander Wang, as she is close friends with the designer. “Too
many navy and gray cashmere sweaters!” she says. “It’s a problem.” A night out, and she’s in “a little black dress, black
heels, a little eye, and a cute lip.” Skin care? “I love Weleda. It’s German. It’s good.” Favorite destination? “My dream is
to go to Mongolia. I’m going in August. I need to go to places that are wilder than Paris, Milan, and London.” And,
finally, favorite meal? “Spaghetti Bolognese. I shouldn’t eat it often, but I eat a lot of it.” Ah, the joys of being 23. n
