The appeal of Abbey Lee Kershaw

Abbey Lee Kershaw, the Australian model, seems to be on fashion's mind right now. As well as featuring on the cover of the current issue of Pop (photographed by Richard Prince, and where she looks about 15 - her real age is 22), she's the face of Gucci Flora perfume and has done editorials for Russian and American Vogues, among others.

What's interesting is that it seems to be her own personal style - a mixture of Janis Jopling and Lenny Kravitz-era Vanessa Paradis - that is inspiring fashion, rather than just her looks (she's also the first successful model to sport a nose ring since Stella Tennant). In this way, she follows in the footsteps of the likes of Erin Wasson and Kate Moss. She's captured a moment.
