>> Carine Roitfeld wanted to make Lara Stone a star with her dedicated February 2009 issue of Vogue Paris — so is it working?  Peter Lindbergh coaxed the man in the suit out of her, a la Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, and Linda Evangelista in 1991; Nan Goldin gave her the grunge treatment; Hedi Slimane captured her glamour — and that's just the beginning.  Some are disappointed with the issue, but one thing's for sure — people are talking, and it's not just the usual Lara too-much-nudity fodder.  Pretty good for "a girl who under any other circumstance would have been found to be 'too big' or 'too . . . umm mature' to fit into the [modeling] standard."
