Remembering their first meeting at party hosted by Louis Vuitton at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Kerr tells the story of how she told Spiegel that her favourite piece of classical music was composer Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel”.

Kerr’s friend Glenda Bailey, who was editor of Harper’s Bazaar at the time, leaned over and told her, “You’re going to marry that guy.”

But then Spiegel suddenly got up to leave the dinner. “I thought I had no chance [with Miranda], so I wasn’t going to waste my time,” he says.

But she later texted him, asking, “Just wondering—did you ever listen to that song, ‘Spiegel im Spiegel’?”

“This is one of the things I love about Miranda,” Spiegel says. “Everyone is welcome. It’s the Aussie way. What I saw from Miranda and Orlando was very different from what I experienced. I am in no way a replacement for Flynn’s dad. I feel like [I’m part of] Team Flynn.”

Kerr also looks back on her early days of modelling and the struggles she faced.

“We worked long hours but I saw my parents with their own businesses, working long hours,” she says. “I thought that’s what everyone did.”
