Sweet Sensation

Dutch beauty Daphne Groenveld continues to cast a spell over the fashion world with her distinct and haunting beauty. Discovered by Bloom Models at the age of fifteen whilst shopping with her mother, Groeneveld is now represented worldwide by Women Model Management. Groeneveld's  exaggerated facial features render her instantly recognisable, due in part to her large, saucer-shaped eyes and her massive, bee stung lips. Groeneveld already exhibits an amazing presence on the runway and in print images and is likely to reach her full potential with age and experience.

Groeneveld is already a firm favourite with Vogue Paris, having appeared on the cover of the December 2010 edition alongside Tom Ford, and has been photographed recently by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia. The 179 cm other-worldly beauty dominated the recent Fall/Winter 2011 collections, racking up a tally of 39 shows and held opening slots for Calvin Klein, Altuzarra, Rick Owens, Herve Leger, Jason Wu, Vera Wang and Versus. Modelling for only a little over a year, this relative newcomer has appeared in campaigns for Miu Miu and Givenchy, and is one of modelling's most exciting new prospects.
