Thana Kuhnen: Queen of Couture

Thana Kuhnen opening the Dior Fall 2009 couture show

Thana Kuhnen, signed with Marilyn NY and Natalie Paris is probably one of the most underrated models out there. Just look at her piercing eyes, legs for days and those serious cheekbones that could cut glass! Her face has the most amazing bone structure...it's very classic yet edgy at the same time, making her look very versatile.

She's only 18 years old but when you see her attitude and poise on the runway it's like she's been strutting down the catwalk for years. The proof is on the internet, just watch this Youtube video of her opening the Dior fall 2009 couture show, which was actually more like a performance than a simple walk down the runway.


Thana is starting to get recognized for her dramatic presence on the runway and as a result, she walked some major shows this season such as John Paul Gautlier, Hermes, John Galliano and of course, Christian Dior.Thana at John Paul Gautlier

When you look at photographs in Thana's portfolio, they just scream drama. Take a look at the intensity in these shots.
Stunning!

Anyways, all I'm asking is that this girl book more editorial work so she can become more well known. She's slowly picking up steam in the show seasons, but I want to see this girl's career take off in all areas of her work.

I'm so jealous of girls who pull off the bright red lips like Thana (and you!), but I'm afraid my complexion will only ever allow me to wear pink lips :( Damn you pasty-ness, damn you!
