She may only be a mere 19 years old, but the beautifully gamine Cara Delevingne is most definitely this season’s most wanted model having impressed us with her show presence this autumn/winter 2012-13 season.

Over recent weeks, the comparably short Delevingne – who’s 5′ 9.5″ – has walked in some of fashion’s leading shows – from Oscar de la Renta to, of course, Burberry, the fashion house that originally boosted her modelling profile.

But what is it about this British teen model that gets her booking after booking? Is it her sense of style? Her lusciously bushy brows? Or maybe her incredibly versatile look? Well, according to Vogue fashion bookings editor Rosie Vogel, it’s all those things and more – but in particular it’s her confidence and dynamic personality that set her apart. “She’s not your typical model in that she’s not the standard 5″11 – but then neither’s Kate Moss. But, what she lacks in inches, she makes up for in confidence,” she said.

“She’s unique – she has a wonderful versatility to her and a great personality, which is crucial. She’s really lively and dynamic and still feels very modern. I like that she has those heavy brows – it adds something very different.

“She wears clothes really well. She makes clothes look cool. I see a bit of Agyness Deyn in her. She’s really into fashion and that really shows. Cara’s a great British girl – she’s had a good season so far in Milan and New York and I’m sure she’ll do well in Paris. We’ll be seeing much more of her in the future,” she added.

As equally big fans, the team at Talent Management hopes Vogel is right and that this young Londoner will continue to dominate the international modelling scene.
