Who's the New Hot Model?
Lara Stone is on the August cover of W, closed Chanel and opened Jean Paul Gaultier at the recent couture shows in Paris, and has appeared in ad campaigns including Givenchy and Jil Sander. And what sets her apart from the pack is her figure. British newspaper the Guardian wrote that Lara fluctuates between a size 4 and 6 (in American sizes). To the average woman, that's pretty thin. But for a model? Most of her peers are a waifish size 0, so she's way curvier than most-and photographer Bruce Weber and designers including Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci and Isabel Marant have praised her for it. In an interview last year, the Dutch model said, "It would be nice if I wasn't the only person with tits and an arse, but I am... I don't think I'm starting a trend." We say, time will tell.
