The first Asian supermodel

Remember Siberian supermodel Irina Pantaeva who moved to New York City at the age of 16 and became an international sensation? She was in NYC on Friday night at the launch of the DDCLAB store opening hosted by Zoe Kravitz, Lenny Kravitz' daughter. Irina Pantaeva was born 1972 in Ulan-Ude, on the banks of Lake Baikal in Siberia. She still looks like she is in her 20's. Watch a great video of Irina on the Todd Oldham runway with supermodel greats Elle McPherson, Tatjana Patitz, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova and Niki Taylor. She is the first Asian supermodel!
