^ One of Style.com's ss08 top 10 new faces!

Following in the footsteps of Daria Werbowy and Irina Lazareanu, the tough-but-sweet, Toronto-born Richardson worked her steely gaze on the catwalks at Jil Sander and Yves Saint Laurent.

What the Oh wait, that's from 2004

 

[youarearockstar]

^^Ahhhhh...FEAR NOT, that's old. She used to be with MC2 or Major or something and they dyed it red back then. Its an old picture. Crisis over (thank god)!

 

[zaraffe]

Oh, my God, I was ready to throw a fit. Thank you, youarearockstar, for clarifying!

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^Haha, I didn't check the date of the actual newspiece, either -- it's just reminiscence!

 

[youarearockstar]

Not a problem at all. Everytime I see that hair color on my beloved Kori, I die a little inside...so I understand the fit throwing emotions. It really is like a bad, bad Top Model makeover.

So much better in her natural beauty!

 

[1FashionVictim]

Sorry I should have mentioned it was old That hair is just bad though, it looks like those cheap-*** wigs the models wore at Diesel SS08, something about her nose bother me :/

 

[justdoit]

she is so cute in the Giambattista Valli S/S 08 backstage!!!

Yah, another Top 10 list for Kori! I tend to agree more with the V Magazine listings, so I'm happy to see Kori showing up here.

11.15.07 TOP 10 MODELS OF SPRING 2008: #7 KORI RICHARDSON
The stunning Canadian is the latest star from the Great White North

7. Kori Richardson (IMG)
"Kori is the latest Canadian runway star, following in the footsteps of Jessica Stam, Daria, and Coco Rocha. Much like many of the best girls this season, Kori didn't really make an impact until the shows got to Europe. In Milan, she walked for Jil Sander but it in Paris she hit her stride with bookings for Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci, Chanel, and Alexander McQueen. Look for her soon in Another Magazine photographed by Daniel Jackson and in a star-making campaign by David Sims which shall remain nameless for now."

Design Jamie Richards

Well, well! First off, Jamie great job on the graphics as usual! Also, I cannot wait to see which campaign this is that Kori will be in. I can't remember what Sims shoots off the top of my head. Anyone remember?

 

[style_expert]

^ come to think of it....no first I thought of CK by Calvin Klein ..star making AND David Sims sounds more like Balenciaga though (I'm still not 100% positive about the actress for Balenciaga thing)

 

[youarearockstar]

^I'm right there with you then. Balenciaga was the only thing that came to mind for me as well, but I thought Connelly was supposed to be in it. I really, really hope that the advertising group at Balenciaga woke up and actually used a model, especially Kori!
