UPDATED JANUARY 30th 2012: Apparently the mystery has been solved! The girl who landed the February 2012 cover slot of Vogue Italia is none other than the rising new face that landed the coveted current campaign stint at Balenciaga, Laura Kampman.
Above are her New York Fashion Week Fall Winter 2012 show cards via Models.com, the 17 year old Dutch stunner is represented by New York Model Management.

Who is the girl on the February cover of Vogue Italia photographed by Steven Meisel and styled by Karl Templer in a Blumarine cotton drill dress with raffia trimmings; a Ellen Christine Millinery hat; a Tessa Matthias collar; and LaCrasia gloves…
Daria Strokous is that you? Or Laura Kampman?

UPDATED JANUARY 03rd 2012: The mystery lady in Red has been solved! It was Paula Patrice of Ford Models NYC.
Steven Meisel and Vogue Italia always delivered great January covers for the past two years. Remember Karlie Kloss stumbled on the runway for January 2010? Or Arizona Muse and Freja Beha Erichsen in some kind of Haute Couture fitting for January 2011?
This time they gave us another unique cover featuring Caroline Trentini, an unidentified model that looks like Christy Turlington in a red dress and the current Louis Vuitton campaign girl, Daria Strokous, for a telesales programs/home shopping-like cover and we just can’t wait to see the editorial!
The cover was styled by Karl Templer while the hair and make up was done by Jimmy Paul and Pat McGrath respectively.

24 year old Danish top model, Freja Beha Erichsen, landed her third Vogue Italia covers in less than a year! Right after her front page slot in March and November 2010, she was featured for the first 2011 cover of Vogue Italia along with her now rumored girlfriend, Arizona Muse, photographed by regular photographer for more than 20 years, Steven Meisel.
Freja Beha Erichsen was not the only returning cover girl for this year’s models line up, because catwalk veteran Kristen McMenamy (August 2010) and the possible new Angel of Victoria’s Secret’s, Karlie Kloss (January 2010), are both returning for another snapped once again by Steven Meisel for the 2011′s May and December issues respectively.
South African born Victoria’s Secret Angel, Candice Swanepoel, was a bombshell on the February issue while the similar hairstyle was sported by Raquel Zimmermann on the dull August cover, my least favourite. But, thankfully, Steven Meisel make it up Raquel Zimmermann‘s boring cover with the exceptionally amazing November issue. One of this year’s best cover! Saskia de Brauw‘s March issue and the sultry black and white June cover featuring three plus size models who looked gorgeous and fabulous: Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley, are amongst this year’s best covers too.
Red haired model/musician, Karen Elson returning to the front page of Vogue Italia for the first time since December 2006 with the same grace and elegance for October. The former face of Missoni, Kristina Salinovic landed her first Vogue Italia cover for April as well as one of the current faces of Balenciaga, Juliane Grüner, for July issue. Last but not least, top model Stella Tennant shocked the fashion industry with her 13 inch waist (that’s not her real waist, right?) and appeared on the September cover of the magazine photographed by Steven Meisel.
