I prefer last season campaign, this one is too "richardsonesque", however, Lara is stunning, as usual

She is such a chameleon, love how shes sweet as pie on the W cover and then dark and gothic at GIvenchy, that sequined skirt is beautiful, thanks for the hqs and to state the obvious the Boss ad is hot

I agree, this is more Sisley than Boss, but Lara looks stunning.

I&V shot her for the August issue of VP:

ADN de la mode
Ph: I&V
Realisation: Emmanuelle Alt, Joe McKenna and Carine Roitlfed
Models: Lily D., Iris, Eniko, Dree Hemingway, Anna J., Daria, Edita, Isabeli Fontana, Sessilee Lopez, Lara Stone, Raquel Z., Anja Rubik, Garrett Neff, Natasha Poly, Shalom Harlow, and some others. It's pretty huge (64 pages) but really nice if you ask me. It's a sort of retrospective(?) of some designers' iconic look.

W put some outtakes from the interview on their "W Editors' Blog"

More from Lara Stone (& don't miss the last bit!)

​

Working in fashion, you get accustomed to a fair amount of hyperbole. Things are fabulous, or they're terrible; wildly expensive or the deal of the century. It was refreshing, then, to sit down with Lara Stone for our August cover story and get her unfiltered, blazingly honest take on modeling. And while Lara's runway and print persona is larger-than-life, in person she's entirely of-proportion (though the lips, yes, are impressive), with a calm shyness that immediately puts everyone around her at ease. Here, a few outtakes from our chat:

Were you interested in fashion before you got "discovered" by the model agent's wife in the Paris metro?
Um, no. I thought modeling was a big joke because I was just a funny-looking teenager.

You moved to Paris when you were sixteen. Were you ever homesick?
I wasn't homesick too much. My family used to travel a lot when I was little and I always wanted to be on my own. We would be on holiday somewhere and I would just tell my parents, "I'll meet you back at this church in two hours." And they would let me wander off on my own. I just wanted to figure it out by myself.

​

You just moved to London from New York. When you're not working, what do you do with yourself? Any hobbies?
No! What qualifies as a hobby, anyway? I don't collect stamps. I want to learn how to cook. I got all these cookbooks the other day. But I don't have any patience. I had a barbecue at my house for my friends, and I figured I could do a barbecue, but all these flames kept coming out and then inside [the meat] was all raw. It was gross.

You're curvier than many other models. Did you ever feel pressured to change the way you look?
I guess so. When I first lived in Paris I was a lot skinnier, and also a lot younger. It's still like that, [the girls] are skinnier and younger. I mean, it's not so great for me. It is a bit of pressure. I'm still working enough as it is—but I don't want to be the only fat one. If you know what I mean.

The irony, of course, is that you aren't fat at all.
I never really know what to say about the whole body thing. I try not to obsess, really. Most things fit, and then sometimes things really don't fit, and they have a seamstress fix it. I went through kind of a big change a few months ago, and I decided I really want to be healthy, not just skinnier but healthier.

Do you talk about the pressure to look a certain way with other models?
Never very seriously. Usually, their reaction is that they wish they had t*ts like mine.

^God who wouldn't want to have t*ts like hers

 

[tigerrouge]

That's hilarious. She's hilarious. It's not often that a model is as entertaining in her interviews as she is in her images - and simply by being herself.

 

[paz2992]

lol she is so great!

 

[yogini108]

wow, i love her.
