Ondria Hardin lands on her first Vogue cover

The dream of every young model is to appear on the cover of Vogue for the first time, and American teenage model Ondria Hardin just achieved it. The 17 year-old brings flowers as she debuts on her first ever cover of the fashion bible on its Japanese edition for the March 2014 issue.

The North Carolina-raised beauty, who has fronted major fashion campaigns for Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Prada, was photographed by Italian photographer Giampaolo Sgura. Styled by Anna Dello Russo, the cover of the magazine showcases Hardin in a belted floral getup by Dolce & Gabbana from the label’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection, perfectly suited to kick start the springtime season.
