It was Karolina Kurkova walking with Alessandro Bazzoni from DNA. We stopped to meet and greet and as Karolina stood oblivious to the little bottleneck she was causing, it dawned ...modern models don't cause curbside gridlock anymore. Only supermodels did that and there's the rub.
Of all the many models to have emerged on the fashion marketplace in the last two years... the Belgians, The Butch Chic queens, The New Wave bi-level haircut wonders ...only Karolina Kurkova stands to graduate to that crucial next level in the business.

It's the level that moves major circulation fashion magazines, high-end cosmetics brands and Victoria Secret bras in units of millions.

The inevitable Karolina:
US Vogue Cover	German Vogue	Dior	Louis Vuitton

It's that level where farm boys in Middle America happen to know you by first name. It's that point at which the public, en masse responds to you.

Things are very different since the last time we shot Miss Kurkova ...
