Lara Stone is featured in the Vogue Netherlands May 2012 issue. This gap-toothed beauty shines again wearing a simple crocheted dress and a bejewelled skin-colored top. We see Lara Stone's softer side in her closeups with her long tousled blonde hair let loose and in a basic up-do. The photographer, Josh Olins, has created a pure and innocent vibe, and Lara's eyes pop out in the lighting.
Lara is a dutch model who has previously been listed as the number one fashion model on models.com's Top 50 Models, been the face for Calvin Klein and in 2010 won British Fashion Award's model of the year. Lara makes this cover stand out while looking absolutely stunning and natural in the entire editorial, proving that less is more.
