"I'm lucky; I can sleep from takeoff until we land, so I'm fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival"
About this Quote
There’s subtext in the phrasing “fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival.” It’s the language of reliability, the trait fashion demands but rarely credits. Modeling is routinely framed as being looked at; Herzigova subtly insists on the part that’s labor: showing up, delivering, performing, enduring. By emphasizing “on arrival,” she nods to the industry’s brutal tempo: you don’t ease into a job after travel, you land and you’re immediately “on.” That’s not a travel tip so much as a survival strategy.
Context matters, too. Herzigova came up in a pre-social-media era of supermodels whose currency was mythic ease. This line punctures that myth without fully breaking it. She admits the machine is exhausting, then restores the aura by presenting herself as built for it, blessed with a rare advantage: the ability to switch off, mid-flight, and wake up usable.
