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.
