Stone was one of the models chosen to be in one of the fourteen covers of V magazine September 2008 issue.In the February 2009 edition of Vogue Paris, which featured Stone on the cover, she said she does not like the runway and that her unusually small feet for a person her size do not fit in shoes. Stone was featured on the August 2009 cover of W, declaring her "Fashion's It Girl" and why she's the most-wanted face and body in the business. Stone is part of history, in what marks Vogue UK's first multi-cover in the publication's 95-years, landing one of the three May 2011 covers in celebration of the Wedding of Prince William of Wales and Kate Middleton

Stone was ranked #1 on models.com's prestigious Top 50 Models list from Spring 2010 to Summer 2012 before moving to their Industry Icons list. In 2010  her look sparked a trend in blonde, gap-toothed, big-lipped models like Georgia May Jagger, Lindsey Wixson, and Ashley Smith. The look even inspired Tyra Banks to have a contestant's tooth gap widened on cycle 15 of America's Next Top
Model.

And they said it would never happen in our lifetime... namely a model who is a cultural sensation...But Ms. Stone is that rare model who sells not only campaign product but moves covers (see Interview, Love, W, Vogue Paris) inspires designers (see Marc Jacobs for Vuitton SS 10) and confirms that a compelling personality makes fashion all that more vivid and dynamic.
An almighty Calvin contract. Fragrance spots for Prada and a cosmetic run for Armani. Lara Stone is that super-star that proves that a great model is truly worth it.
With a career on the fast track and a body that just won't quit Lara Stone is the definition of editorial sexy. Her Bardot-eqsue beauty and curvy figure have helped redefine what sexy is in the fashion industry and with the attention of editors, casting directors and fans alike, Lara has blazed a trail all her own.
