The Phenomenon of Kara

UNIQUE APPEARANCE, DIRECTORITY, BRIGHT CHARISM, TALENT AND NOBLE ROOTS - A MODEL OF THE NEW FORMATION OF THE KARA DELEVINES HAS ALL THIS.

Despite the fact that at the last Fashion Week in Milan, the girl spoke at only one Fendi show, her popularity is growing incredibly quickly. As well as fame in the Internet space - by the 21st year, Delevingne has more than 4.5 million Instagram subscribers. She is the “face” of dozens of brands and muse of Karl Lagerfeld himself.

Kara is a high-level professional: she looks organically on the catwalk and knows how to transform in photographing from the dynamic girl DKNY into the bourgeois lady Chanel. The president of Storm modeling agency Sarah Ducas, who once opened the world to Kate Moss, said of her protege Delevingne: “Appearing in the company, Kara instantly becomes the center of attention.”

Although Cara appeared in a Bruce Weber photo shoot for the Italian Vogue in the hat of the legendary modist Philip Tracy at the age of 10, she began her modeling career only in 2009. Then the 17-year-old Delevingne first appeared at the show of the British brand Clements Ribeiro, and a few months later she entered the catwalk at the Burberry show. This was a turning point in the life of the model, since since then its popularity has increased exponentially. In 2012, Kara becomes the most invited Fashion Week model and takes to the catwalks, presenting the collections of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Carolina Herrera, Emilio Pucci, Nina Ricci, Oscar de la Renta, Just Cavalli, Sonia Rykiel, Stella McCartney, Victoria's Secret and many others.

In November, she was proclaimed Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards. Her main achievement, perhaps, is the recognition of the creative director of Chanel House, who invites her to open and close the shows of Chanel Haute Couture, and also calls her "Charlie Chaplin of her time."

It would seem that where such a barrage of praises from fashion critics and photographers and an impressive army of fans come from? Perhaps the secret of this lies in the incredible ambitions, theatricality and inexhaustible energy of Kara. Since childhood, she dreamed of becoming an actress, and in 2008, as a student of the "most fashionable and freethinking" private bedales art school in Hampshire, she recorded a CD with her own interview and sent it to casting director Tim Burton.

The role of the main character in the film "Alice in Wonderland" did not go to her, but Cara did not despair and decided to try herself in the modeling business, following in the footsteps of her sister, model Poppy Delevingne. It is worth noting that the Delevingne sisters are refined English aristocrats and distant relatives of the British royal family. Grandfather Delevingne is the former head of the English Heritage State Commission, Sir Jocelyn Stevens, and grandmother, Jenny Sheffield, is the maid of honor of Princess Margaret. It was from her grandmother that the model inherited its iconic feature - thick eyebrows.

Triumphantly entering the modeling business, Kara decided to take revenge and again try herself on the big screen, appearing in the episodic role of Princess Sorokina in Joe Wright's film "Anna Karenina." Recently, she has received offers from all sides. However, Delevingne does not want to be another it-girl, famous only for the fact that she is famous. In addition to participating in the British film “Enamored Children” and one of the main roles in “Angel Face”, we seem to soon see Kara in a new television drama, the name of which has not yet been made public, and also hear her solo album!
