In the high-octane, flash-bulb world of international modeling, success is often measured by the vibrancy of one’s presence and the momentum of an ascending career.

If you were to view Laura’s life through the cold lens of a balance sheet, it would appear as a relentless ledger of losses. Her days begin in the predawn stillness of 4:30 a.m., inside a house that feels far too vast for a single occupant. It is a home filled with “architectural ghosts”—the third…
