Photographed by Thiemo Sander, the 30-years-old beauty Karolina Kurkova graces the pages of French magazine Madame Figaro for its April 2014 issue . The model that established herself as a top phenomenon still exudes the same magnetism says : ” In fashion, girls are not all beauty queens . Some are interesting or different, but rarely perfect. ” It was Miuccia Prada in Milan who noticed her, at age 15, and signed an exclusive contract for the season . Then Anna Wintour put her on the cover of Vogue and the rest is history …
“If I did not think at the time, I realize now that I had a lot of pressure . In my small town of Decin in Czechoslovakia , I was not interested in fashion or fashion magazines . When I started, what mattered most was that someone believes in me, ” the model says.
