Lara Stone by Mert & Marcus | Interview Magazine

Interview Magazine writes correctly that Lara Stone is easily the most in-demand model in the business right now. (Note: we’ve moved the saucy photos of Lara Stone to Sexy Futures.)
In the sea of slender, pubescentlooking models that currently predominate, she is a —singular creature: 26 years old; gap-toothed and wobbly on high heels; her silhouette, feminine and curvy and clearly accented by breasts; her eyes brimming with a kind of feral attitude and personality and sexuality.
I’ve written extensively about Lara, in the aftermath of the Ralph Lauren Photoshop debacle. If you know the 80/90s supermodels, it’s a bit crazy to read that Lara made shape trendy. Yet, it’s true that she brought breasts and curves — the essentials of most female anatomy — back to fashion.
Lara is very close to Carine Roitfeld, who I personally adore and write about all the time. Carine’s an intellectual fashionista, a combo we don’t think of in America. I love Roitfeld’s willingness to make fashion political, which is the essence of French style and the French woman’s personality.
As for Lara and the ropes, I like them all except the one around her neck.
