Petra Collins on Horror Films, Modeling for Gucci & Her Photography Style

Petra Collins has spent the last decade shaping the visual language of fashion, art, and internet culture. In this episode of ‘The Good Buy,’ the photographer, filmmaker, model, and cultural tastemaker sits down with Harper’s BAZAAR to talk about the subversive style influences that shaped her world— from Liberty-print Dr. Martens and American Apparel disco pants to horror movie heroines and the infamous Blythe dolls. Watch as Petra reflects on the early days of Rookie Mag, shares stories behind her iconic 2019 Met Gala look (hint: it involves Cher), and reveals her vintage 1950s engagement ring for the very first time. She also reflects on her expansive vintage collection, the evolution of her personal style, and her new photography book, ’Star.’
