Inside Natasha Liu Bordizzo's Whirlwind Trip To Tokyo

Lost in the streets of Shibuya with Chanel - by Maeve Galea

Inside Natasha Liu Bordizzo's Whirlwind Trip To Tokyo

Natasha Liu Bordizzo is calm as she stands in the middle of Tokyo’s iconic Shibuya Crossing, surrounded by a heaving crowd of people. “The energy on that block is crazy,” says the 25-year-old actress, who was scouted at Central Station in Sydney five years ago and has since starred in The Greatest Showman and Hotel Mumbai. “I feel this deep peace every time I’m in Tokyo. It’s one of my favourite places in the world.”

Natasha wears Chanel cardigan, $670, shorts, $3300, shoes, $1040, and necklace, $2870, 1300 242 635.

Despite her inner calm, it was a whirlwind trip for Bordizzo. One day she was attending the opening of Chanel’s Mademoiselle Privé exhibition, rubbing shoulders with Pharrell Williams and Sofia Coppola. The next she was wearing new-season pieces from the luxury fashion house and shooting into the night in the maze of tiny alleyways lined with tinier bars in the backstreets of Shibuya. “Everyone was going about their day around us. Elderly people were going into bars, drinking sake.”

A friend of the house and a diehard fan of the classic Chanel tweed jacket, Bordizzo’s first Chanel experience was attending their autumn/winter 2019 show, held just weeks after the passing of longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld, which she describes as bittersweet. “It was a really special moment to have entered the brand, because I got to experience them at their most unified,” she explains.

After a hectic three days in Tokyo, Bordizzo raced from her marie claire shoot to the airport to board a flight to LA, then on to Toronto, where she’s filming “an exciting new project”. After a year of jetsetting around the globe and starring in the hit Netflix series The Society, Bordizzo is looking forward to a white (sand) Christmas, relaxing on the beach in Byron Bay. “It will be very cold in Canada at that point. [So] I’m going to be very, very happy to come home.” We have a feeling she won’t stay put for long.
