About Irina's Style
Lazareanu is known for her quirky, vintage-inspired style - which has arguably contributed to the rise of her modelling career. Michelle McCool (of Cosmopolitan magazine) laments that "(Irina) has a great rock'n'roll vibe. It's all about the hair and her flatness. I love that she has no boobs". Lazareanu if often described as having a distinctive look, as Emmanuelle Alt of Vogue Paris adds; "On the runway, no matter what, she cannot be transformed. She always has her unique look and style". As a result of her striking features and rock'n'roll semblance, Lazareanu has developed the status of 'official muse' to designers Nicolas Ghesquière (of Balenciaga) and Karl Lagerfeld (of Chanel) - with whom she shot the Chanel Cruise campaign.
When asked about her style, Lazareanu says: "I’m very influenced by the whole 1960s–1970s London era, not only in terms of my clothes but also in terms of the music I listen to, the movies I watch, the writers I read. Those influences probably translates into my personal style in an unconscious way."
