NATASHA NOW!
by Wayne Sterling

The day I met Natasha Vojnovic was also the day I heard Marianne Faithfull's legendary "Broken English" for the first time and as the synth laden title track boomed in the back of the Walter Schupfer offices, Natasha in her rock-n-roll T-shirt and her point perfect blue jeans came into such sharp focus, it was like a revelation.

Here was the girl who had burned her way into fashion consciousness as she stalked out first at the Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior and Miu Miu shows, the girl who had booked four consecutive Harper's Bazaars, the mystery woman who came out of nowhere to repeat her booking of the Calvin Klein (and bear in mind that the last girl to do that was Kate Moss).

Now factor in Natasha's Gucci booking with Terry Richardson and weigh the fact that those two campaigns are usually exclusives. Add to that her Lanvin and Cerruti campaigns and what you have is the stealth sensation of the season.

Those ground breaking bookings and the visual sting of her controversial covers for ID, Paris Vogue and Paris cult publication Amaan have created a buzz about this nineteen year old Serbian stunner that has the model-watching community playing desperate catch-up.

"Where did she come from. What is it about her?.." they wonder, "..that has made her so compelling to the hippest designers, the coolest young photographers and the trend-setting stylists?" Ponder no further. Here in plain sight, is MODELS.com Top Ten Reasons Why Natasha V Is The Essence Of Now.
