It's a little-known fact that many of the world's most exquisite supermodels were scouted in the most curious of locations. Brazilian bombshell Gisele, for example, was discovered while devouring a large hamburger at a perfectly ordinary outpost of McDonald's during a school excursion to São Paulo – a scene which belies both her luminous complexion and glamorous demeanour. While the extraordinary Natalia Vodianova was going about her daily routine, selling fruit at a market stall in her native town of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia when she was spotted by a reputable casting agent. Lest we forget about Cindy Crawford, who was working up a sweat by shucking corn in Illinois during her school holiday, when a local photographer took a candid photograph that ended up gracing the town paper. So, it seems only felicitous for tradition to continue with German-born cover-girl Lena Hardt, who, in the third and final edition of François Pragnère's film series, reveals how the course of her life changed dramatically after she was stopped while storming through a busy train station.
