I thought I might do a little look-back upon the past and post this one, coz I did not have the time and space to post this one in 2009 when the magazine came out. Lakshmi Menon looked so dashing here, portraying the springtime with all her lush and beautiful look. Its the time to enjoy the spring time these days, and I believe it won't hurt to have a look at these pictures again even if they came from two years back when jumpsuit was so much in vogue.
Supermodel Lakshmi Menon was photographed for cover and editorial of her homeland Vogue edition by fashion photographer Jean-Francois Campos, in accompanying editorial Saffron Days, Menon was joined by newcomers Preeti Dhata and Miriam Ilorah.

Daily Mail included Menon as "Hot" and predicted that she would attain
supermodel status.
