Lindsey Wixson has one of those faces. That ‘perfect’ for modelling face, it was her beautiful idiosyncrasies which first caught the keen eye of Steven Meisel at 15, and which were celebrated by the bastions of fashion (and some eager fangirls, of course) for years to come. Two of which made for a particularly striking guise; a rosebud pout – in bloom in Spring, of course – and that gap-toothed grin, Wixon’s beguiling facial topography is one which has captivated the world’s best designers and photographers for a good part of her 23 years.
But, even in the ephemeral world of modelling, where model shelf life is less than that of a cartoon of eggs, Wixson has bid adieu to a life of catwalk and castings at the tender age of 23, for “an artistic side that wants to shine through.”Abandoning a highly successful modelling career in pursuit of an artistic passion, namely pottery and design, wasn’t so much about a disillusionment with the industry, but a foot injury, which has compelled her to retire from “this high heel business.” With that, we reminisce upon her most salient beauty moments, from being the perfectly-proportioned face of Dior to travelling to the Milky Way with Karl and Co. and fronting campaigns for Chanel, Fendi and Versace – hers is a beauty we’ll forever admire.
So long rosebud pout, we’ll miss you.
