Daul Kim was a South Korean model who regularly appeared in high fashion magazines and frequently modelled for Karl Lagerfeld, Vivienne Westwood, Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Christopher Kane. Despite her success, her career was shortlived when she was found dead at her apartment on the morning of 19th November 2009.
Model Daul Kim was found dead in Paris this morning, her agents at Next confirm. "She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next. Please respect her family’s privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much," they said in a statement. The cause of death remains unknown at this time, but a source tells the Cut the 20-year-old committed suicide. She will be missed.- The Cut, NYMag
She really was an inspiration to many. Her blog, iliketoforkmyself radiated her off-the-wall personality, and it really is such a shame she died so young. I guess, despite having so many international friends, and a blossoming career, no one really saw the soul beneath her pictures.
She could have been a real force in the Korean, if not international, fashion and art world.
"If you weren't modelling, where would you like to be?"
"I would like to be in a happy place."
"I would like to be in a happy place."
I hope she found her happy place.
