Drake Burnette Loves a Good Hat, Loathes Irrelevant Footwear

While most model/actors began their careers as the former, 28-year-old Texan Drake Burnette starred in Larry Clarke’s Marfa Girl before making her runway debut at the Cèline pre-fall 2013 presentation. Since then, she has opened shows for designers like Marni, and walked for Hermès, Fendi, Chanel and more. Oh, and then there’s that time she walked next to Kate Moss at Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2013 show.

Despite her rapid ascent, Burnette still likes to keep things casual. Here, she shares some of her favorite things.
