We have been hip to Lara Mullen since Alexander Wang and Thursday the Northamptonshire, England native got her due on The Cut. The Cut‘s James Lim had a chance to speak with Lara for the “Meet the New Girl” series about how Gisele Bündchen made a last minute rescue at Givenchy when the young model’s heel broke, her Prada exclusive, and Cadbury Crunchy Bars amongst others.
