Darla Baker first burst onto the fashion scene back in 2005, when she was handpicked by Karl Lagerfeld to walk in his spring Chanel couture show in Paris. Ad campaigns for Express and Giuseppe Zanotti soon followed, catapulting the Oregon-native with the doll-like face wide-set eyes, pouty lips and porcelain skin into supermodel territory. A funny girlat heart (her childhood dream was to appear on SNL), Baker was born to perform, whether on-stage playing piano or on the runway at Oscar de la Renta. Here, the self-proclaimed dreamer lets StyleCaster in on her most recent obsessions from David Bowies one-time back-up singer, Klaus Nomi, to bed head hair.
