Irina Kulikova - the new 'It' model

ik.JPG
Ok, so I know that the news of a particularly popular new model may not be exactly jaw-droppingly exciting but you've got to love the story of how this one was discovered. Grabbing a bite to eat last summer in a restaurant in Moscow, Liv Tyler suddenly walked over the table Kulikova was sharing with her mum, and asked if she was a model! How come nothing like that would happen to me when stuffing my face at Pizza Hut, eh?!

She's already made a splash at the F/W 2007-8 shows having walked for Prada, Chanel, Chloe and YSL amongst others, and if you don't recognise her yet, perhaps you will once you're used to seeing her face in campaigns by Prada, Jil Sander, Marc Jacobs and Pringle of Scotland. Busy girl, then!

According to Vogue.co.uk, Storm Models founder Sarah Doukas is also a fan of Ms Kulikova, recently commenting that 'the waif is no longer in vogue' and that 'fashion is heralding the return of the 'woman'. Personally I find this completely confusing - while Kulikova may be seen as perfect model material, as far as I can see she's as waif-like as they come!

What do you think of Irina's look?

I think she's gorgeous, but I agree, If she's not a waif I don't know what it is.

'fashion is heralding the return of the 'woman'.

I do not think that word means what they think it means...

After reading this article I googled her to see more photos - she's as thin as they come. Very pretty, but certainly your typical stick thin model.

She's supposed to be 16.

oh look another stick thin adolescent. *yawn*

wake me up when they actually do start using healthy looking women on the catwalk, mind you I think I may be in for a very long sleep

whoah, i dont think she's gorgeous whatsoever. i think she's really creepy looking. i guess that basically all you have to do to be a runway model is be anorexically skinny and like 6'7".

DUDE she looks like she is freaking shooting up in the picture right here. How is she not a waif? I guess cause they threw in that she was eating with her mom. She eats. YAY... and throws it up after
