For more than a decade, the 32-year-old has been a distinct presence on runways and magazines with her vampy, androgynous look, an alluring mix of Greta Garbo, Annie Lennox and Robocop. That face, paired with the body of an unusually shapely athlete (Knuts has breasts), made her a favorite of fashion’s biggest names, including Jean Paul Gaultier and Steven Meisel, who booked her for three consecutive Italian Vogue covers in 2000.
