larastone.JPGSupermodel Lara Stone was the one to watch during the whole slew of fashion weeks, Paris in particular. Stone (pictured at right with designer Alexander Wang) walked for Chanel, Givenchy, and Gaultier among others, and is one of the most in-demand supermodels today. She also has a sizeable gap between her front teeth, a shapely body that has been compared to Bardot's, and, as the Guardian reports, is a US size 6 (that's a UK size 8).

While a size 6 isn't an accurate reflection of what the majority of American women look like, it still is a refreshingly positive change from the years of size-zero runway models with no curves to their bodies. After Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman's recent outburst regarding the health of too-skinny models and the designers who encourage tiny frames, Lara Stone serves as a new face for the powerful feminine supermodel we hope will soon come back to the runways.
