Supermodel of the Year 2011

Supermodel of the Year 2011

Despite the fact that, apparently, Gisele Bündchen will never give up her title of the highest paid model in the world, it is difficult to call her the main model in 2011. This place, as we see it, should go to the 27-year-old Dutch beauty Lara Stone, who has made a real revolution in the fashion-industry by signing contracts with 13 brands at once. It was her Nordic type that determined her success on the catwalks and in advertising campaigns of the year 2011.
Among those, who have been conquered by Stone, one will find Calvin Klein and Versace, H&M and Prada, as well as Donna Karan, Cavalli, Givenchy, MaxMara and Levi’s. Being compared to Brigitte Bardot and called the most fashionable person of this year, her type dictates fashion images to the photographers and determines, who will appear on the catwalk. But the greatest achievement of Stone’s is her entering the Forbes rating. Appearing there as a freshman only in 2011, she immediately took the seventh place, even ahead of Natalia Vodianova.
