Edie Campbell Is Fashion Month’s Top Model
While fall 2013’s biggest face was undoubtedly Cara Delevingne, the spring shows were dominated by a model who’s been around for several years now: Edie Campbell. A favorite of Hedi Slimane, Karl Lagerfeld, and Marc Jacobs (who was the force behind her dark brown, mullet-y haircut she’s had for the past six months), she walked 21 of the industry’s most prominent runways this season. Her most memorable moment? Opening Jacobs’s final Vuitton show in nothing but a sparkly thong and body paint. Here’s what you should know about her.
