 Bangalore based Indian model Lakshmi Menon has created history in the
international fashion world! The 28-year-old model has become the first
Indian face for the renowned ‘The Pirelli Calendar 2011’ since last 38
years.
However, Menon had to give a nude pose for getting this honor. It
does not seem to be quite unusual for a model because many other Indian
models have stripped for various magazines and photo shoots.
Photographer Karl Lagerfeld has snapped the model when she flaunted
her assets alongside models Erin Wasson and Bianca Balti. It has been
shot at Lagerfeld’s Paris studio.
The 2011 calendar is prepared based on the Greek and Roman Mythology
themes. It also portrays the event of golden child Baptiste Giabiconi.
With this, Lakshmi has entered the line of many other renowned
international models like Jeneil Williams, Erin Wasson, Lara Stone,
Freja Beha, Heidi Mount, Anja Rubik, Magdenlena Frackowiak, Iris
Strubegger and many others.
Lakshmi started her career in modeling only to earn to some extra
money when she was studying at the Bangalore University. She continued
her modeling career in India till 2006 and then entered the
international arena.
