Believe it or not, she reminds me a lot of Kristen McMenamy. I have no opinion on Lara's curves, but I see Lara as this awkwardly-pretty type of model, akin to Kristen in the early 90s. And if you look at Lara's face, she even bears a slight resemblance to Kristen.
There was talk on the Edita Vilkeviciute thread recently about the fact that Edita is classically beautiful and that she's reminiscent of the 90s supermodels. Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but the success of certain classically beautiful models of today like Edita V and Catherine McNeil might end up triggering a demand for more classically beautiful models, perhaps leading to a new era in fashion similar to the Supermodel Era.
I agree. You've got a good eye. I just looked at the pictures from the Paris Vogue photoshoot, and Lara really does have qualities of all those women you mentioned. The photoshoot itself has a very late-80s vibe. I felt like I was looking at a Daniela Pestova editorial from 1989.in this paris vogue cover and photoshoot i see in her face part daniella pestova, part brigitte bardot (the sexuality like the pout), the coolness and harshness of early faye dunaway face (eyes and brows) with the tan and supermodel sheen of giselle. i think gianni would have really liked her

Okay I missed this discussion and I don't know much about Lara,jokes! Yet looking at the cover,they're only 2 names that come to mind Bardot and mainly Gia Carangi. I truly think she looks like a modern version of Gia.I agree. You've got a good eye.

It's a great photoshoot btw.
And yes, I think you're right that Gianni would've really liked Lara. With her blend of Kristen/Daniela looks, and with her curves, she would have been a favorite of his.
