Irina Lăzăreanu
Irina Lăzăreanu (Romanian pronunciation: [iˈrina ləzəˈre̯anu]; born 8 June 1982) is a Canadian model and folk singer. She has been an ambassador for Chanel and a muse to designers Karl Lagerfeld and Nicolas Ghesquière. As a musician, she is closely associated with Pete Doherty. Her debut album Some Place Along the Way was produced by Sean Lennon.
Lăzăreanu was born in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, and at age five immigrated to Canada, settling into the Montreal suburb of Saint-Hubert, Quebec with her parents. At the age of 13, she moved to London to study ballet until she was derailed by a broken knee. At the age of 15 she met musician Pete Doherty, whom she later dated briefly and was engaged to in 2007.
At age 17, Lăzăreanu attended an open call and signed with Giovanni modelling agency in Montreal with the hope that it would help pay rent. From then on she did the usual rounds of London and Paris, occasionally appearing in Barcelona, Australia and Madrid fashion weeks. She was chosen by acquaintance Kate Moss to model for the December/January 2005/2006 issue of Vogue: Paris, which Moss guest edited. Immediately after, she also appeared on the cover of Vogue Italia's January 2006 issue, photographed by Steven Meisel. In March 2007, Lăzăreanu was chosen by Kate Moss as the model for her new Topshop clothing range.
She has shot campaigns for many designers and brands, including Chanel (which she served as a brand ambassador for), Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Anna Sui, Lanvin, Versace, The Kooples, Gap and many more. She is affiliated with the modeling agencies The Society Management in New York City, Elite Model Management in Paris, Why Not Models in Milan, and Select Model Management in London. She has appeared covers of magazines such as W, Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire and Nylon.
Lăzăreanu is also a designer with a successful fashion line in Japan in 2010, and a capsule collection for the Simons department store in Canada in 2015. Both lines sold out within weeks.
Having styled many of the shoots she modeled at, since 2018 she has concentrated on styling campaigns and been guest Art Director for several publications.[citation needed] Nowadays she focuses on styling and on her philanthropic work as co-creator of the charity No More Plastic, which is dedicated to reducing the harmful effects of plastic pollution.
Lăzăreanu is known for her quirky, vintage-inspired style – which has arguably contributed to the rise of her modelling career. When asked about her style, Lăzăreanu says: "I’m very influenced by the whole 1960s–1970s London era, not only in terms of my clothes but also in terms of the music I listen to, the movies I watch, the writers I read. Those influences probably translates into my personal style in an unconscious way."
Michelle McCool of Cosmopolitan magazine writes that "(Irina) has a great rock'n'roll vibe. It's all about the hair and her flatness. I love that she has no boobs."[citation needed][This quote needs a citation] Lăzăreanu is often described as having a distinctive look, as Emmanuelle Alt of Vogue Paris adds; "On the runway, no matter what, she cannot be transformed. She always has her unique look and style." As a result of her striking features and rock'n'roll semblance, Lăzăreanu has developed the status of 'official muse' to designers Nicolas Ghesquière and Karl Lagerfeld, with whom she shot the Chanel Cruise campaign.
