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.

Menon was featured in French

In December 2008, in "What's Hot For 2009", Lucie Greene of the
Daily Mail included Menon as "Hot" and predicted that she would attain
supermodel status.
Indian photographer Prabuddha Dasgupta says of Menon that “She’s dusky, flawless and the true face of beauty. She’s worked with Jean Paul Gaultier, Hermes, Chanel -- and is the face of the future.”
Vogue said in 2008 that she was "quite the embodiment of Givenchy's new-season style".
