INTERVIEW

KIERA

CHAPLIN

SELF-MADE

WOMAN

It’s a sunny Friday morning and we’re on set in Hollywood, Kiera has just

stepped off a plane from Switzerland, her energy and enthusiasm at being back

in LA post pandemic is electric. Kiera is in fact the Granddaughter of Charlie

Chaplin, one of Hollywood’s most notable figures from the film industry, so we

haven’t been short on possible shoot locations relating back to Charlie’s movie

archives. However, Kiera’s biggest achievements are self-accomplished, having

recently launched her own line of NFT’s, as well as a line of scarves and opened

a school in West Africa to help underserved children of Sierra Leone and she isn’t

stopping there …

L

aunching a line of NFT’s is by no

means an easy challenge, how did

you get into that world, and can

you share with us a bit about them

and why yours are so unique?

B I had been hearing about NFT’s for the past few

months and found that whole world fascinating. It is

still so new, and you can be very creative and build

whole worlds, not just a piece of art. Then I partnered

up with ‘DIGITFULLY’ a platform that does a lot of

NFT campaigns, I created a whole around my alter ego,

a superhero that fights for injustices around the world.

What is unique about my NFT’s is that they will be used

to help causes and raise money for different charities.

You will be playing a game and giving back to society.

Given what you are doing with

NFT’s, charity is clearly a large

part of your make-up, was this

something you were taught

growing up in your family? This

also naturally brings us onto

the school you opened in West

Africa, how did this come

about and how are the children

benefitting?

I think fighting for the

underdog was always a very

present theme while I was

growing up. Be it through

my grandfather’s films or

simply knowing that I was

lucky to be born where I was

born, and that being kind and

compassionate is a must. Over

the years I had met many different charities but

when I met Waris Dirie, founder of Desert Flower

Foundation, it really hit a nerve. She started her

foundation to fight against FGM (female genital

mutilation) and being a big supporter of woman

empowerment, I couldn’t think of anything more

barbaric and messed up to do to a young girl. We

had a long discussion about how to fight this in the

long run and education is the best way. So, I joined

forces and we have started building schools. We chose

Sierra Leone to start as 70% of the population there

cannot read or write. And there for the cycle of poverty

is never ending, and girls will continue to be married

off young without any choice.

“I think

I got my

love for

fashion

from my

grandmother

Oona.”

Let’s talk about business and fashion, you have

partnered with countless fashion labels, having

created a sneaker, watch and scarf line all of which

are available globally. As a businesswoman you must

wear multiple hats to get something like this off the

ground, please give us some insight into what it takes?

After working as a model for 20 years you

develop a lot of contacts. I believe it’s about finding

the right partners. Also, it’s about not being shy to

ask for what you want. If you have a concept, don’t

be afraid to reach out and ask people if they want to

collaborate. What’s the worst that can happen? Like

my acting teacher used to tell me: “relax, you’re not a

neurosurgeon. No one is going to die if you mess up.”

I try to use that philosophy to everything that I do.

of her?

It’s been a while since you have

been back in LA due to COVID,

which stores will you be hitting

up and what’s on your shopping

list?

Funnily enough I just went to get

some See’s Candies and a Coffee

Bean Vanilla Soy Latte … I want

to check out Fred Segal, Beverly

Hills and Robertson Blvd.

Your grandparents were known

for throwing incredible dinner

parties to Hollywood

A-Listers at their house, and your

grandmother Oona was quite

the style icon. Did you get your

style and love of fashion from her

and please share some memories

Yes, I think I got my love for fashion from her. She

always looked so glamorous in pictures and even when

I would see her at home, she had a relaxed style, but it

was still chic and unique. She also had a lot of beauty

creams that I loved to try, as well as her shoes.

Ok, confession time, what’s been your biggest splurge

on your closet, and we also want to know about your

biggest fashion mistake, we’ve all been there!

Fashion mistakes, unfortunately I can see many when

I look at my old red carpet pics LOL! From racoon

make-up to ugly dresses … as for my biggest splurge, it

would probably be in bags or jewelry. But to be honest

I don’t buy supper expensive things as I get bored

of clothes quite fast. So, I like to mix and match

everything. But shoes and bags are my vice …

Fashion has been getting a terrible name for itself due

to how pollutive it can be, is there something in the

pipeline for Kiera that combines your philanthropic

charitable angle that also marries in fashion?

Not at the moment. Perhaps further down the line

but now all I can do is to give my old clothes to the

Salvation Army or consignment stores. I am fully

aware about the many issues that surround fashion

and what it does to the planet, I can’t single handedly

fix this, but I support independent fashion houses and

emerging talent instead. Some of my friends are

designers and I have walked in their runways at

Fashion Week and if I need something special, I will

call on them.

You’ve been on the big screen a few times, having

featured in “The Importance of being Earnest”

amongst other movies, are there plans to do more of

this and if so, who would you love to act alongside?

I’ve been in a few movies, but it was never a passion

of mine. I always preferred the fashion world but

nowadays I’ve gotten into producing. I have two

projects as an Executive Producer that I can’t wait to

announce as they are going to be very cool projects (and

I’m working with two of my favorite directors, can’t

say more. Sorry!).

GQ Magazine voted you the ‘17th Most Eligible

Women in The World’, what affect did this have on

your love life and is there anyone special right now?

It was FHM who voted me 17th most eligible

woman in the world. GQ voted me 7th sexiest in the

world ;-) It’s flattering but most days you don’t feel like

that. However, I do like to tease my boyfriends about it.

You must see some changes in LA coming back after

the last 2 years, what’s the most significant difference

you’ve noticed?

I noticed a lot of new restaurants which have popped up

in Hollywood as well as edgy artists which I really

enjoyed seeing. I have been pretty much in back-to-back

meetings and am only here for a short while, I haven’t had

the opportunity to explore the city as much as I would

have liked. My heart goes out to all the small businesses

and family owned enterprises which didn’t make it

through the pandemic, it was crushing to watch on the

news.

Having such famous Grandparents must have

exposed you to an extraordinary upbringing, can you

share some memories of your grandparents, lessons

they taught you and people you met?

I never met my grandfather as he passed away before

I was born but I grew up in his house that is now a

museum. It’s the most beautiful property I have ever

seen. And my dad was a sound engineer who worked

a lot with Queen and David Bowie amongst many

others so that was also cool. But my favorite moments

was meeting Princess Diana and Michael Jackson. I

even got to go on stage with him during a concert which

was very fun!

T

ell us a bit more about yourself....

Have you always been a model?

No, I actually finished my Bachelor’s

degree in Accounting and Business Law

before I even started my Modelling

career. I never saw Modelling as a way to create a

living but I’ve definitely proven that is possible now.

You moved to the USA and became a

green-card holder through your Modelling

career. How has that journey been for you?

Honestly I’ve loved every second of living in

America. It really is the land of opportunity and I’ve

been able to really dive into my creative side through

Modelling, TV Presenting and Production. I’ve met

some incredible people who have given me some great

opportunities. I love how

easily you can connect with

other creatives, and everyone is

supportive of each other.

And you’ve expanded more into

the TV Industry over the last

year, how did they happen?

I’ve always enjoyed public

speaking and being on stage and

I’ve taken courses to develop my

skills in the presenting arena.

Being in front of the camera is

something I really enjoy along

with communicating with

people from all walks of

life. I’ve had some great

opportunities to travel and host

over the last couple of years.

And then in the last year I

expanded into being behind the camera also and I

really enjoy the creativeness. Filming opened another

opportunity for me to be a Producer on a up and coming

TV Show all around America. I love traveling so being

able to be creative and travel is a dream come true for me.

What has been your favorite place to travel to?

I absolutely love France. Paris is one of the most

beautiful cities I’ve been to but just outside of Paris

you can visit these incredible countryside places like

the Loire Valley which are full of history, beautiful

castles, and wineries. The beauty of France really took

my breath away - I always try to go back.

Is there anywhere you’d like to travel to that you

haven’t been to yet?

There are so many places in Europe that I haven’t

explored yet and would love to see. Croatia and Italy

are on the top of my bucket list.

Do you miss home?

“I love

traveling so

being able to

be creative

and travel is

a dream come

true for me.”

Yes, every single day! Australia is such a beautiful

place and I really miss my family and friends and the

relaxed lifestyle there. The beaches are some of the most

spectacular beaches in the world. If you haven’t been

you should definitely go!

What advice would you give younger girls wanting

to follow in your footsteps?

I would have to say never giving up. In any career,

particularly Modelling or the television industry

you will be turned down more times than not. You

really have to focus on your

What do you do to stay in shape?

passion and the reason why you

are doing what you do and keep

pushing and working hard for

what you want. Eventually the

opportunities will come to you.

What do you enjoy most when

you have time off?

Usually when I’m working I’m

traveling all the time, so I

really enjoy relaxing at home and

getting back into my training

regime at the gym. The ideal

day for me is a morning coffee

and walk with my little yorkie

Tinkerbell, catching up with

friends at a spin or kickboxing

class and relaxing out the back of

my house with a good book.

I absolutely love kickboxing. It’s a full body workout

and raises your heart rate the right way. If I’m going to

do cardio, I love something that keeps me engaged and

with high intensity.

If you went back in the past is there anything you

would change about your journey?

Definitely not! I believe everything you do in life

happens for a reason and helps to shape the person you

become. Any challenges I’ve faced and overcome have

allowed me to grow into who I am today and given me

the knowledge I have now on how to continually strive

to do things better.
