Beauté du Jour: Irina Pantaeva



Siberian beauty, Long Decendent from Genghis Khan's migration from Mongolia to Siberia and Supermodel.

She was a muse for the late Irving Penn and other photographers that loved her angular beauty and bright personality.
She was "discovered" by Karl Lagerfeld when attending an open- call with a Friend in Paris while in her teens. From there she took off- Modeling, Acting ( Mortal Combat anyone?) and theatre. She even wrote a book about her life.
What an inspiration.
