She may be surrounded by the glitz and glamour of Australia Fashion Week, but supermodel Miranda Kerr is really just a hippie at heart.

In an exclusive interview with A Current Affair, Kerr reveals she is a keen greenie who one day dreams of owning an environmentally-friendly house — and having three kids.

"Ten years from now hopefully I'll be living in a solar-powered house with my vegetable garden out the back," she said.

"And I'm hoping it will be somewhere that has a bit of countryside and a little bit of water — whether it will be a lake or an ocean — and hopefully I will have three children, a nice hammock and a big bathtub."

To back her claims, Kerr will grace the cover of Madison Magazine's June "green" issue.

"It's something that we need to try and make a conscious effort each and every one of us to do the small thing," she said.

"Small things like taking the charger out of the wall saves a lot of electricity and using energy efficient light bulbs is something that I do."

Kerr has been in Sydney with Hollywood boyfriend Orlando Bloom and has been a star attraction in the front row of several high profile fashion shows during the week.

Earlier in the month, she was chosen as the new face of David Jones and will replace Megan Gale.

Kerr also talked about the book for young girls she's writing, called Treasure Yourself, with issues ranging from nutrition to what she describes as "the power of the mind".

"It's a collaboration of information that I have found has worked for me and hopefully it can work for other girls as well." Kerr said.

"I was always looking for that guide book or that handbook for young girls."

For the full interview, watch A Current Affair tonight at 6:30pm on the Nine Network.
