  • Celebrating the Golden Age of Fashion with Irina Lazareanu

    Celebrating the Golden Age of Fashion with Irina Lazareanu
    May 23 2022

    In the early 2000s, Canadian model and folk singer Irina Lazareanu was a compelling fixture on countless international catwalks—becoming a muse to such greats as Karl Lagerfeld. On this episode, Irina talks with Jeanne about fleeing Romania with her parents as a young girl, immigrating to Canada and then moving to London as a teen to study dance. After a knee injury, Irina pivoted to modelling and music, hanging out with a super cool crowd, which included the likes of Kate Moss, Pete Doherty, Amy Winehouse, and Sean Lennon. Now living in Montreal, Irina has authored her first book entitled "Runway Bird"—a celebration of fashion’s Golden Age and some of the magical people she met along way.
