Erin O'Connor
Erin O'Connor is a leading British Supermodel. Born and brought up in the midlands of England, she was spotted by a Models 1s scout at a Birmingham fashion event. Her first published pictures were by Juergen Teller for a 1996 issue of i-D, and are credited with launching an alternative concept of beauty. O'Connor's signature look is that of an angular, linear hauteur with a face that is fiercely symmetrical and porcelain pale. She is synonymous with the notion of 'imperfect beauty', and Karl Lagerfeld described her as ‘a modern anti-beauty’. She has inspired luxury labels from Chanel to Versace, being the face and Modigliani-referencing form of Chanel, Givenchy, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Armani, and Gaultier. Erin has modelled on the catwalk for John Galliano, Christian Dior, Donna Karen, Prada, Versace, Mui Mui, Giorgio Armani, Julien MacDonald, Jean Paul Gaultier, Badgley Mischka and Dolce and Gabbana. She has worked with many leading fashion photographers including Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, Mario Testino, David Simms, and Jonathan de Villiers, and featured magazines including Vogue, W, Elle, Nova, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's & Queen, i-D and Visionnaire. In March 2003 she featured in a three-part Channel 4 documentary 'This Model Life' which confirmed her as a household name in the UK. Erin O'Connor has a £5 million fortune. This makes her the only woman to feature in the top ten of moneyed under 30s and put her in joint 166th place overall in the Times rich list.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I began drawing Erin O'Connor before I knew who she was; her distinctive profile always seemed to be in my sketchbooks whenever I covered the Paris shows. We finally met in 1999, after her agent came to an exhibition of mine in London, and we have been working together ever since. With her off-beat black and white beauty, attenuated proportions and innate ability to pose, she is a gift for an artist.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Over the years we have become good friends and have worked in challenging circumstances; backstage at the shows, on live television, surrounded by hundreds of bemused onlookers in Trafalgar Square for the Big Draw. People often ask me if Erin is my ‘muse’, but I don’t like the term as it implies a passive role. Nor, I hope, am I ‘the world’s slowest paparazzo’ as I was once dubbed… What I would say is that our ongoing working relationship has been one of the most sustained and inspiring of my professional life.[/FONT]
When I first saw her on the DNA site, I was immediately interested, but I didn't get her at first. But she was growing on me, and now I think she's fantastic.

Is this Erin? I really do think so though it is hard to tell.
