There was that landmark Estee Lauder contract, the one that platformed her in a massive worldwide ad buy alongside Carolyn Murphy and Liz Hurley, previous MODELS.com Cover Girl and took Liya global. That contract changed everything for this model and now she sits in that rarefied circle that can pick and choose the jobs. Elegance is eternal! F/W07:Estee Lauder S/S08: Tiffany and Co.

Such was the case with IMG’s highly coveted newcomer who exploded out of Paris and found herself at the middle of a frantic booking mania. With her Estee Lauder images hitting the current mags, this campaign star for Balenciaga, Valentino and D Squared is front and center in all the right places.
