[edit] Biography
Erin O'Connor born in 1968 and brought up in Walsall, England and was spotted by a Models 1 scout at The Clothes Show in Birmingham. Her first published pictures were by Juergen Teller for a 1996 issue of i-D, and are credited with launching an ‘alternative concept of beauty’. O’Connor is noted for her angular, highly symmetrical profile and porcelain-pale complexion.
She is synonymous with Charlotte Cotton’s notion of 'imperfect beauty' in 1990s fashion photography, and Karl Lagerfeld has described her as ‘a modern anti-beauty’. O’Connor has been associated with luxury labels from Chanel, Versace, Givenchy, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Armani, and Jean-Paul Gaultier.
She has modelled on the catwalk for John Galliano, Christian Dior, Donna Karan, Prada, Versace, Miu Miu, Giorgio Armani, Julien MacDonald, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Badgley Mischka, Dolce & Gabbana and Ermanno Scervino among many others. She has worked with many leading fashion photographers including Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, Mario Testino, David Sims, and Jonathan de Villiers, and featured in magazines including Vogue, W, ELLE, Nova, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's & Queen, i-D, and Visionaire. She was on the January cover of British Vogue in 2002, along with a host of the UK's top models, and appeared alongside Twiggy in a campaign for Marks and Spencer in 2005 (see Your M&S, Christmas 2005).
In March 2003, she featured in a three-part Channel 4 documentary This Model Life which confirmed her as a household name in the UK.
The Sunday Times considered her to be one of 40 richest people under 30 in the United Kingdom, with an estimated wealth of 10 million pounds.[1]
