Etro’s Glam Fall—Hitting the streets at night, the fall-winter 2014 campaign from Etro taps Suvi Koponen and Karmen Pedaru for a high gloss shoot. The girls pose alongside male model Ton Heukels in the new advertisements. The Italian label’s colorful prints and loose-tailoring takes the spotlight for the autumn season.
EN Fashion - Karmen Pedaru wore a dirty suit on her wedding day, because the dress given to her was too revealing.
The 24-year-old model tied the knot with influential art director Riccardo Ruini in 2012 after they met the year before while shooting a Gucci campaign. His proposal was a humorous one, placing the ring box in the fridge during a vacation in Ibiza only for Karmen to completely miss it so he had to point it out - a moment which she recalls was "embarrassing".
However, things only got more comical on the big day. “I had asked Michael Kors at the last minute if I could get a dress. [The press office] sent one to me and it was beautiful, but it was see-through!” she recalled to The Edit.
“My ass was out! In the morning we were running around and I was like, ‘I can’t wear it! What am I going to wear?’ I went to my closet and saw the Yves Saint Laurent suit, but it was dirty from the last event I wore it to. I just rolled up the sleeves and went with it.”
Karmen was 15 when she was scouted in her home country of Estonia, where she had been offered the role of goalkeeper on Estonia’s women’s soccer team. Although she was passionate about the sport, the blonde beauty made the decision to get into the fashion world and is astonished by how it has changed her reputation.
“I chose modelling, but I just wanted to get out of Estonia. I would have got out if I’d joined the national team, but only to Baltic countries, not far away. And I wanted to get really far away from Estonia. I was just sick of it," Karmen sighed.
“My self-esteem was very low as a young girl. I wasn’t confident. Boys found me ugly. Then suddenly I was in fashion and people were looking at me, telling me how great I looked... It was really uncomfortable for me for a couple of years. But now I have a husband. Someone loves me!”

Fabulous Fact: Did you know that before modelling, Karmen was one of Estonia's top goalkeepers in soccer and played for Estonia's national team?
She’s classic, she’s elegant, and she’s high flying; Estonian beauty Karmen Pedaru is a fashion favorite with her gorgeous green eyes, million dollar smile (and ahem, super sexy husband). And this season she’s been chosen as the face (and body) of Spanish fashion brand Oysho for its summer 2014 campaign.
Karmen’s model journey began in 2005, when she was discovered at drama school and later began her full-time modelling career at the age of 18. Her first modelling job was for Teen Vogue for which she was flown to India having never before left the country! And Karmen has never looked back. She quickly became an industry favorite and has starred in advertising campaigns for Victoria’s Secret, Gucci, Derek Lam, Elie Saab and many more.
She describes her style as “relaxed, clean, comfortable, and timeless” and hails Audrey Hepburn and Jane Birkin among her style pinups.

See what I mean? Isn't this just delightful? Everything from Karmen's smile to the font of 'beauté' works. My sentiments were shared by Rigida who wrote, "That Elle France cover with Karmen is perfect!"
It's a rare occasion that I purchase Elle France, however, I couldn't resist making an order online and my copy arrived this morning. The issue has two fashion stories with Karmen Pedaru, both photographed by Miguel Reveriego. One of the editorials accompanies the cover shot and is very beauty orientated and the other is more fashion with Karmen wearing a range of looks from Saint Laurent, Gucci, Fendi, Balmain and Balenciaga.

Flanked by a bevy of supermodels, Sophia Loren and leotard-clad dancers on stage, host Kevin Spacey ramped up the drama at Pirelli's 50th anniversary calendar gala in Milan last night.
"Is everyone happy – how could you not be after seeing all those boobs?" Spacey asked the 800 guests after they watched a film on the making of the iconic Italian calendar, first published in 1964. Looking sharp in a blue velvet-trimmed Burberry tuxedo, an upbeat Spacey later joined contemporary Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo on stage after the singer's energetic pop-tinged operatic performance for a few notes of "O Sole Mio."
"I jumped at the chance to come here, because the Pirelli calendar is a cultural icon, an amazing representation of artistic collaboration," Spacey told The Hollywood Reporter. "The calendar works with brilliant photographers and some of these are photographers I've worked with too and respect immensely -- and frankly, any excuse to come to Italy."
