This is Irina Lazareanu and if you haven’t heard of her yet, you soon will.  Kate Moss has chosen Irina to be the face of her new eagerly awaited new Topshop collection.  In a spot of nepotism, Irina was the drummer of Kate’s crack loving boyfrined Pete Doherty in his band, Babyshambles.  Kate chose her to model in the issue of French Vogue she guest edited in 2005.  Showing an eye for talent, Irina went on to become a successful model in her own right and has done campaigns for Chanel, Mulbery and Hugo Boss amongst others since then.  A source at British Vogue says:

Kate thinks she’s got a very unique, rock-chick look,” says our source. “She really felt that Irina embodies the feel of her TopShop range - her porcelain skin, her big eyes under her thick Sixties fringe - it was a look Kate was impressed with.”

 Kate’s Topshop is due to go on sale in Britian and Ireland on May 1st and in the US it will be exclusive to Barney’s one week later.  You can hear Kate talking more about the collection here.
