Romanian-born Canadian model, Irina Lazareanu, may have Kate Moss to thank for the huge spike in her career, however she is one who is not content to ride on coat-tails. With her lanky grace and sartorial stylishness, Irina carves herself a spot in the international fashion eye and today, we emulate her style of boyish-chic.
Born in 1982, Irina Lazareanu never intended to take up modeling, but a broken knee ended her dreams of studying to be a ballerina. At age 17, she attended a modeling open call in Montreal, which paved her way to international exposure, walking at multiple fashion weeks across the world.
It was when Kate Moss chose to feature Lazareanu in her specially guest-edited edition of Vogue Paris that her fame escalated. The two have actually been friends for a while given their shared dating history that includes musician Pete Doherty. Both girls were engaged to Pete Doherty at some point in their life, though thankfully there was little to no heartache turmoil that followed the breakup.
Since her jump in fame, Lazareanu has proven to be a firm favourite with acclaimed designers, walking for Karl Lagerfeld on the Chanel runway.
With her signature sense of bohemian boyish-chic, Lazareanu also counts herself as a style icon to many. Piled-on layers and vintage finds are some of the trademarks while Lazareanu navigate the dichotomy of androgynous dressing.
The model is currently exploring other endeavours - she will launch her debut album with Sean Lennon soon and she also has a clothing line, Rini by Irina, in the works too.
To steal her style, here are two looks that we put under the spotlight. They contain her signature of comfortable, casual cool, which can be easily achieved through the use of slouchy clothes and a structured blazer.
