Lakshmi Love
by Erik Pulles posted on January 15, 2009It took less than a year for Indian beauty Lakshmi Menon to develop into a girl most wanted. It was nothing but up for Lakshmi ever since her first steps on the S/S 08 Jean-Paul Gaultier runway. With her stunning features, amazing skin and that million dollar gaze, Gaultier was the first to spotlight her in the S/S 08 campaign for Hermès. There, she posed aside Asian elephants in an elegant and colorful fashion. But it wasn’t untill Riccardo Tisci, torchbearer at Givenchy, actually announced Lakshmi’s appearance in his F/W 08.09 couture show for the house that the ball really started rolling. Aside from the F/W 08.09 Givenchy campaign she appeared in, stints soon followed for V Magazine, Vogue Paris and American Vogue. Now, as the pages are turning toward the S/S 09 season in fashion, Lakshmi is a powerful force to be reckoned with. She now stars in ads for MaxMara and does a brilliant repeat for Givenchy by Inez & Vinoodh. The latter also features Lara Stone, Ana Claudia Michels and Mariacarla Boscono. That must make her the star among supernovas. It’s the rise of a girl like Lakshmi that makes the modeling world such an exciting one to follow. And her rise indicates that this star will explode into a supernova herself any time soon. I can’t wait.
