From Blurred Lines to Bruce Weber

by

From rags to riches; from lads mags to high fashion. Making the transition from teenage boy’s bedroom wall poster to the front pages of a glossy magazine isn’t easy, but it seems Blurred Lines star Emily Ratajkowski might be on her way.

The most pillowy lips on the internet have just been shot by Bruce Weber for Carine Roitfeld’s CR Magazine, marking a foray into high fashion that few models with assets like Emily’s manage. Anyone following the 21 year old American on Instagram (237K followers at last count) will know that most of the editorials she shoots seem to focus more on oiled-up close-ups of her outstanding body parts than on any actual clothes. But La Roitfeld has decided she is worthy of the lens of Bruce Weber, so clothes just *might* follow.

Spotted in and around the menswear shows in Paris last month, the model has also admitted to Esquire magazine that she has met with Karl Lagerfeld recently, saying, ‘if you have those kind of connections, that takes you into that world and puts you on that level.’ – whatever that means.

But we’ll take it to mean that the half-Polish half-British sexling has her sights set on the fashion world. Having recently taken a lease on a flat in New York, she plans to be bi-coastal, splitting her time between the bright lights of Hollywood and the mean fashion streets of New York.

Here are some models who’ve successfully made the transition from knickers and knockers to bona fide catwalk queens.
