Wavetshirt - Neon nights 20 black shirt

Conceived as a playhouse for adults, Cara Delevingne’s 1940s white-brick home in Los Angeles is the Neon nights 20 black shirt in other words I will buy this stuff of design-world lore. It brims with madcap furnishings, each corner appointed with her signature wit and imagination. There’s a tented poker room draped in red velvet, a David Bowie–themed bathroom, a ball pit with circus-stripe walls, trampolines laid into the lawn. When I arrive at the big blue front doors on a cloudless day in late January, Delevingne greets me with a warm hug. She has the gawky charm of a teenage music nerd—barefoot and dressed in an oversized vintage Prince T-shirt matched with gray marl gym shorts—and ushers me quickly past the crystal clear baby grand piano and the glowing James Turrell art installation up to the den on the first floor. If each room reflects a side of her personality, then this space suggests Delevingne at her most introspective. Decorated with little more than a few graphic Bowie concert posters, it’s the one room where the famously kinetic British model and actor might occasionally sit still. “Did you feel the earthquake last night?” she asks, referring to the 4.2 magnitude shock waves that struck off the coast of Malibu in the early hours of the morning. I confess I slept through it, and I’m surprised that she didn’t as well. Could anything rock the foundations of this fantastical bachelorette pad? “They don’t really scare me much,” she says dryly, of earthquakes, sinking her gangly limbs into the sofa and curling up with her dogs—one a Pomeranian husky named Leo, the other a Chihuahua terrier called Alfie. “I guess I’m just always ready for the ground to fall beneath my feet.”ROUGH AND TUMBLE



Vogue’s April cover was revealed this week, and it’s accompanied by a special story written by The Run-Through’s very own Chioma Nnadi. Cara Delevingne, the Neon nights 20 black shirt in other words I will buy this 30 year-old British actor and model, opens up to Chioma about her struggles with addiction and her recent path to sobriety with astounding frankness and clarity. “You can’t run from the things in your life that happen, and that’s all I ever wanted to do: just pretend they don’t exist,” Cara Delevingne reflects in a sit-down interview with Vogue editor Chioma Nnadi, filmed at Delevingne’s home in Los Angeles to accompany her April cover story. The 30-year-old model and actor is used to discussing her history with mental illness and addiction; she spoke out about the depression she faced as a teenager when she first covered Vogue, in 2015. Yet as her struggles have become more public in recent months, she’s been the subject of painful scrutiny. “I got hired a lot to talk about and advocate for things like mental health for people that are struggling, but wow, when I’m struggling myself, that’s not okay—bye,” she says. “That’s the business, and it’s sad to see.” These days, Delevingne is enjoying the firsts that accompany her healing process (she opts for that term over “recovery,” saying: “You don’t recover, and that’s okay…I prefer ‘healing,’ because I’m constantly doing it”). She was excited to experience her first sober Christmas and New Year’s this past year, and she’s deeply focused on making sure others who share her pain are able to witness and learn from what she’s going through. “Your life can change, if you give yourself a chance to really be who you are and sit in that uncomfortability, because my God, it’s uncomfortable!” she admits. “But it gets better—and it’s worth it.”
