KELVIN KONOPLYASOVA.

There can be only one person in Singapore who could spot a Jil Sander exclusive amongst a sea of models that would be Laila. She first spotted Konoplyasova at the DKNY Spring 2010 show and then I met ‘Kususha’ backstage at Stradivarius South-East Asia debut and while shopping at Uniqlo. She was kind to stop for a photo and I chatted with her; she was shy when we discussed her walking for Nina Ricci and Chanel. I really like her, I thought she had an unconventional ‘Tilda’ features and her proportions are simply model perfect. She'll be here for ahwile to do her ports, we'll definitely see more of her.
