For a model who is famous for strutting her stuff in underwear, it shouldn’t be a surprise to know that Miranda Kerr collects underwear in her travels. In her cover interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, the former Victoria’s Secret model spoke about her collecting habits and her famous husband, Orlando Bloom.

“I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits…they’re like souvenirs,” she told the magazine, reports Fox News.

According to Us Weekly, Kerr also spoke about her own business enterprise. Now that she has left Victoria’s Secret, she is starting her own company, which has allowed her to take a “more feminine role” when at home.

“Don't feel like you have to do and be everything,” she tells women. “Let the man do some things for you, because if he cares for you, he will want to. When I get home, I'm not the boss like I am at work -- I slip into a more feminine role. I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe.”

She said that Bloom is one of her biggest supporters, along with their two-year-old son, Flynn. “Flynn says Mommy works and Daddy plays, because Daddy is in a play…so that makes sense,” Kerr said.

Kerr added that she was “blown away” by Bloom’s performance on Broadway in Romeo & Juliet. “For someone to be able to learn all that and hold the energy to do it every day, six days a week -- I have so much respect for him."

As for the profession that made her famous, she said, “My life is more balanced than ever,” adding, “There was so much rejection in the beginning. Models are some of the most insecure people I’ve ever met. They’re constantly being told they’re not good enough. You’ve really got to practice loving yourself.”

Kerr appears on the November issue of Cosmopolitan.
