Do miracles happen in the career business? It happens, although very rarely. 46-year-old model Kirsten McMenami is a clear example of this. She started her career in the 80s, became more or less popular in the 90s, and now she's in great demand.

Kirsten has been named the face of the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall / Winter 2011/12 collection campaign. In the pictures that have already appeared on the blogs of fashion observers, Madame McMenamy appears in a blouse with prints, a leather skirt and a cropped jacket.

I must say that this is not Kirsten's first major offer this season. In May, the model defiled in a swimsuit at the Chanel cruise collection show in Cannes (some journalists even compared her to Marlene Dietrich), and a little earlier posed for the cover of Italian Vogue in a bikini.

Last year, Kirsten's appearance at the Calvin Klein show made fashion reviewers talk about the new trend. The fact is that the model basically does not dye her hair and poses with silver-gray hair. Then the majority of critics agreed that naturalness triumphed and almost the last fashionable taboo simply disappeared.

I must say that in the 90s McMenami actually trailed in the "tail" of the legendary five models, which included Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington. However, some fashion gurus believe that it is high time to turn the top five into the top ten, and Kirsten will certainly be on the list.

“The fashion industry and the media dictate to girls the idea that if you don't look like Cindy Crawford at least 99, 999 percent, then you are not perfect. I represent those who are happy with how they look and remain themselves,”McMenami used to say then.

But now the fashion model with nostalgia recalls the past: “I liked the 90s”.
