TODAY’S Q&A IS WITH TOP MODEL KARMEN PEDARU
A beautiful personal picture, Karmen sent to me to run alongside her Q&A
The top model featured today ( Currently No 4 on Models.com Rankings) is the lovely Karmen Pedaru, 23 years old, who hails from Estonia.
Karmen was discovered in 2005 at a drama theatre in Tallinn. A huge sports fan and participator, he was the goalkeeper on Estonia’s national U-19 football team for a year before she quit to pursue modelling.
It was in A/W 2008 that Karmen had her first killer show season, walking no less than 43 shows, in all the four major fashion cities. I’ve since worked with Karmen on numerous occasions, mainly at shows and a few shoots. She’s shy and a little reserved but once you get to know her she’s a lot of fun, always smiling and giggling. She’s super professional at work and an amazing model, so much so that she’s risen to and currently standing at No 4 in Models.com rankings.
Karmen got married in 2012 to an Italian man, and has since moved homes. I’ll let her fill you in about that below.
I managed to catch up with her recently in London on an advertising shoot and asked her if she would do my Q&A for me. she gladly obliged after looking at my blog and liking it. Karmen also made a friend in my dog Buster, who took a real shine to her.
So without further ado, I give you the biggest model to come out of Estonia since Carmen Kass, the sexy, sporty, chic Karmen Pedaru.
