Lara Stone: Suddenly a Super

You've really got to hand it to Lara Stone, who is the cover model for and profiled in ("Fashion's It Girl") this month's W. Here in New York, she has been praised as "the anti-model" by Cathy Horyn, but she is perhaps best known for being the only model featured in the "all-Lara" February 2009 edition of French Vogue. In fact, editress Carine Roitfeld has described her as a muse, saying: “Sometimes a girl just touches you.”

That said, let's take a look back at some of Lara's flashier moments. Below, her campaign in 2007 as the face of Givenchy, where she made her major modeling debut.

Take That, Anna
