Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Lakshmi Menon. You may not be entirely familiar with her, but she opened the Givenchy couture show this summer, booked the fall ready-to-wear campaign shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, and blew up the runway this past week at her first New York Fashion Week popping up at Peter Som, Alexander Wang, Michael Kors, Richard Chai, Diane Von Furstenberg, Derek Lam, Zac Posen, and several others. Things to know about Menon: She's from Bangalore, India, she's 27 (which makes her recent success story much more interesting in comparison to the 15-year-olds currently ruling the runways), and she's not a dummy about the politics of fashion. Oh, and she's incredibly sexy.

Love her!
I had no idea she's 27. Let's hope it's a trend away from Eastern European 14-year olds.
