Fashion
Written By Desiré Greene

The girl is gorgeous. And now, Joan Smalls can add "W Magazine cover girl" to her impressive list of modeling accomplishments. Next month, she shares the cover story with fellow model Karlie Kloss. Both girls dazzle but Joan steals the show in designs by Balenciaga, ODLR, DVF and others. She was definitely born to do this! Perhaps, the next Tyra or Naomi - I think our Joanie is just getting started.
