Karen Kruger popped out of nowhere for me. Especially since she walked in the Elie Saab Spring Couture and I didn’t recognise her. But now that I have discovered this South African beauty I can’t get over her!

She hasn’t even been international for a year and she headlined Valentino Haute Couture. In 2010 she was still in High School Pageants! Her rise is just incredible. She’s worked for Prada, Givenchy, Elie Saab and Calvin Klein. It’s really great to see so many South African beauties making headlines!
