Between the Sheets: Jessica Hart

Tucked away on a cozy street in Gramercy Park, Jessica Hart is giving her dog, @theadventuresoffloyd, a bath in her rose-hued bathroom. This jarringly beautiful Victoria’s Secret model and Australian siren is equally warm and inviting as her transfixing good looks. On magazine covers worldwide, her beauty acumen and her eye for interior design is widely refreshing.

A lover of the delicious beverage Ting, (if you know, you know,) Jess climbed up to her lofted bed in her airy apartment overlooking the park and chatted with us on her true passion, LUMA beauty brand. Her attention to detail in both interior design and how she began her company is surprisingly similar. From highly curated artwork to quintessential jewel-toned crystal glasses, Jess knows how to source and resource all aspects in her design and beauty life until she finds the perfectly unique fit.
