Biography:
Among Darcy’s fondest memories from her childhood are the ones made in her father’s jewelry store. She loved the diamonds, the pearls, the gemstones and most of all, the customers. She eyed the extravagant women who shopped there, admiring their attire. Whoever they were, she wanted to be them when she grew up. As she got older, she started sketching her favourite outfits and evolved to making adjustments to the drawings from her own imagination.
Her interest in fashion combined with good looks and a brazen, engaging personality made her an excellent candidate for modelling. She joined an agency at 12, and at 17, a scout discovered her thanks to a prestigious modelling competition. She appeared on the cover of Vogue and went on to take the fashion world by storm, dominating haute couture runways. The supermodel found herself disenchanted with the work by 23. She wanted more creativity and the ability to influence the industry, so she used her savings to attend college for journalism.
She worked her way up the ladder, writing, designing and editing for increasingly distinguished fashion magazines. She became a strong, passionate voice in topics such as fashion as an art form, the role of fashion in society and sustainable fashion. At 35, however, she made an unpredictable, seemingly downward career move by accepting the position of editor-in-chief position at an insignificant magazine. She tore it to shreds, renamed it Bold and from dirt, built a fashion empire she continues to reign.
