Guinevere Van Seenus

From Voguepedia: "She is characterized by contradiction. She’s coolly androgynous, but with a bodacious poitrine; her heat-generating sexiness is offset by the placidity of a Dutch milkmaid."

This bodacious milkmaid has been the muse for a photo exhibition of Paulo Roversi. She is the muse to many. She has fronted Chanel, Miu Miu exclusive, Prada, Versace and Jil Sander.

Karen Elson

In 1997 Karen's eyebrows were shaved for the cover of Italian Vogue. Her hair dyed electric red. It earned her the label "Le Freak." The next season she gets canceled from shows and editorials for being too large. She continued on regardless and there were some who supported her.

Now she is an icon in the industry. Karl Lagerfeld once said "there will never be another Karen Elson."
