You might not know the name Anna Ewers, but you'll know the face. If you've picked up a magazine in the last 12 months Anna has been staring right back at you. If models had catwalk pedometers she'd be winning the numbers game.

We'll come to the breadth of her portfolio in a moment, but today's big news is that the 21-year-old Bardot beauty has landed the Alexander Wang Spring Summer 2015 campaign. Hardly a surprising casting, as Mr Wang kicked off her career when he stumbled across her blog and called a meeting.

Ewers tells _V Magazin_e of meeting Wang: "I remember going to the casting for Balenciaga. I was so nervous. I drove to Paris just for him… I was not supposed to do fashion week! Then he picked me up, I don't know where. He was like, "I want this girl." He said: "Immediately I sort of fell in love with her, and the rest is history." She went on to star walk for Balenciaga and Wang, front his campaigns and be the face of his first fragrance for Balenciaga.

Anna is following on from Daria Werbowy, Miranda Kerr, Penélope Cruz, Milla Jovovich and Lizzy Jagger to be a face of Mango. She said of her campaign: "I loved the full denim look and the little black dress. Also I really loved all the sandals. Honestly I want to wear almost everything - it was the perfect collection for me. These are clothes for the girl that I want to be. All very cool, feminine and modern. All I can say now is that I cannot wait to see my new Spanish family again and go the store next season to buy a few more things!'
