Kirsty Hume (born September 4, 1976[1]) is a Scottish model who came to prominence in the fashion world in the 1990s. A columnist likened her appearance to a Botticelli angel.[2]
She is married to rocker and actor Donovan Leitch, Jr.. After getting married in Scotland in 1997, they drove all around Bali in a jeep.[3] The couple have a daughter named Violet.[4]
In 1996 Hume was the feature model for Chanel ads.[5] She has modelled for Victoria's Secret.[2] For the March 1996 Gucci presentation of fall and winter fashion collections in Milan, Italy, Hume wore a fabulous dress made of white jersey (clothing) with a plunging neckline.[6]
Following a 1997 Paris, France showing of Karl Lagerfeld designs for Chanel, Hume was queried by a Russian TV reporter. He asked her what was the most exciting part of her job. She answered, Um, the money.[7] She appeared in a bias-cut chiffon gown designed by Donatella Versace at the January 1998 Milan fashion show.[8]
Hume patronized the 26th Street flea market in Manhattan when shopping for Momo Falana, a line of hand-dyed dresses made from vintage lingerie. Parker Posey and Donna Karan were also customers of the business, which sells to patrons by appointment only.[9]
Hume attended a Halloween party at Lot 61 in Chelsea, Manhattan, with Leitch and Oliver Stone, in 1998. The Japanese-themed event included an appearance by Leonardo DiCaprio and friends dressed as members of Kiss.[10] Hume arrived in fangs.[11] The night before Halloween in 1999 Leitch and Hume hosted a party at the same venue. Hume was draped in vines and the couple were scantilly dressed as Adam and Eve.[12]
Hume and Leitch eschewed city life and relocated to Woodstock, New York. Hume began to study painting and paganism after their move.[2] She is fond of wearing flip flops and Birkenstocks.[3]
