Talking about her big break in high fashion, Joan credits Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci who had her featured in the spring haute couture show. “I had been shooting a lot of catalogs up until then. Riccardo bleached my eyebrows and I suddenly became this androgynous, versatile model. It kick-started my career for sure,” she says.
