"   Lara Stone at Lincoln Center yesterday. Photo: Getty Images  Lara Stone needs no introduction: that gap-toothed smirk framed by killer cheekbones and a curvy silhouette\u2014not to mention her attitude\u2014sets her apart from a sea of leggy models. Ask any of the designers she&amp;#039;s worked with, from Riccardo Tisci and Karl Lagerfeld to Marc Jacobs and Francisco Costa, you&amp;#039;ll be hard pressed to find one who doesn&amp;#039;t hope to do so again. Stone also happens to be the new face of Mercedes-Benz, the official sponsor of New York Fashion Week, which means we had the chance to chat with the supermodel yesterday afternoon. Stone&amp;#039;s dead-pan, dry sense of humor and genuine disappointment when we reached the end of our interview made us heart her even more than before. Age: 28 Hometown: The Netherlands Zodiac sign: Sagittarius How would your best friend describe you in 5 words? Oh dear... That&amp;#039;s a hard one! She&amp;#039;d probably say I&amp;#039;m easy-going, generous, nice, helpful and hopefully a good friend. Karaoke song of choice: No. I can&amp;#039;t, no. When I still was drinking, I&amp;#039;d maybe sing out loud in public, but now? No way. Current guilty pleasure:  I just got a puppy. What kind? What&amp;#039;s his name?!  Bert. He&amp;#039;s a Border Terrier and he&amp;#039;s going to be my guilty pleasure. I&amp;#039;ve been doing lots of shopping for him on Amazon. All sorts of different collars and different toys. I haven&amp;#039;t got him yet; I&amp;#039;m getting him on Monday. I&amp;#039;m so excited. Secret talent: No. Unfortunately no. Not singing, not dancing either, not anything musical... Knitting! I&amp;#039;m really good at knitting. Whose closet would you like to raid?  It would be Carine Roitfeld. I would take everything. All of her shoes. Who makes you LOL on Twitter?  I like the Queen. Obviously some person has got a Twitter for her and she Tweets really funny stuff. Also my friend David Arnold. He&amp;#039;s a musician; he&amp;#039;s incredibly funny. Worst pick-up line you&amp;#039;ve ever heard: So many. Probably flashing someone is probably the worst of the worst. I&amp;#039;ve never experienced that one!  Well, we live in Paris. Song currently stuck in your head:  The last album I downloaded was the Lana Del Rey album. I love it. If you weren&amp;#039;t a model, you&amp;#039;d be: I&amp;#039;d still be working at McDonald&amp;#039;s. What did you eat for breakfast? A protein shake after my running. Really boring. Biggest model misconception? That we all hate each other and fight. Wait, that&amp;#039;s not true?! I know, it&amp;#039;d be so much more fun. Thanks for answering my questions! That&amp;#039;s it?! Aw! Oh, we&amp;#039;ve got more! What can&amp;#039;t you leave home without? Obviously I can&amp;#039;t live without my iPhone. I just converted. How are your thumbs handling the screen? It&amp;#039;s a bit exhausting, especially when you have to write in Dutch sometimes. You have to change the language and it goes all wrong, so I&amp;#039;m still getting used to it. But I like it better than my Blackberry, for sure. Who are you top three favorite designers?  Calvin, Calvin, Calvin! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
