Irina Lazaareanu Profile September 20, 2008

Irina Lazareanu, the Romania-born and Canada-raised current queen of the catwalk, is ecstatic. “I am so happy! I just bought this amazing portrait of Johnny [Cash] and June Carter,” she squeals. Before any questions can be squeezed in, she continues with a stream-of-consciousness monologue: “Are you coming to Paris? Sean [Lennon] and I are performing. Then I’m in London with Kate [Moss] and her Topshop deal. And, oh, this is some major scoop: I got the rights to Bob Dylan’s ‘Girl from the North Country,’ and Pete [Doherty] and Sean are going to record it for my album.” She takes a deep breath. “I just cannot wait to record my album.”
