Lara Stone for W Magazine August 2009

Magazine: W

Published: August 2009

One of the youngest supermodel on the scene, Lara Stone, replaces the starlets and superstars, landing a W magazine August cover in a bid to find out why is she the most wanted face and body in the business, photographed by W’s favorite photographer Steven Klein. Lara’s bio under the cut:

Lara Stone was born to a Dutch mother and an English father in the town of Geldrop, the Netherlands and grew up in Mierlo, Netherlands.First discovered in the Paris Metro when she was 12, she then went on to participate in the Elite Model Look competition at age 15. She became the primary choice for editorials and advertising campaigns after signing with IMG in 2006. Lara is not a fan of the runway because of her unusually small feet of someone of her size. Because the shoes are usually too big for her, she sometimes goes down the runway thinking “Do not fall, do not fall!” (from Vogue Paris interview Feb 09). – from models.com
