Gucci’s Mia Gruenwald On Her Actual Beauty Routine
The German model on what she never leaves the house without and something called Ayurvedic medicine.
German up-and-comer Mia Gruenwald just scored a bit of a coup as one of the faces in Gucci’s Berlin-inspired spring campaign. She is a multifaceted model, Gruenwald, one who can both appreciate the ancient practice of Ayurvedic medicine – huh? – but also Yves Saint Laurent lipstick.
