The self described “first weird-looking model”, iconic 90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy brazenly stormed into the fashion world with her distinctive features and bleached eyebrows, helping overturn every tired beauty cliché and making way for a whole new generation of girls who didn’t fit the mould. Notoriously irreverent, Kristen used to stride down runways saying ‘fuck you’ under her breath, and famously steamed past security at the Ritz into Versace’s fitting, on hearing that he thought she was too fat for his show. Kristen stripped down to her heels, demanding “You call this fat?” and was unsurprisingly booked on the spot. Kristen has worked with luminaries ranging from Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon and Juergen Teller to her favourite designer Karl Lagerfeld, who walked her down the aisle at her wedding.
She graces Dazed's front cover this month.
