Lakshmi's career began at age 20, when she was discovered by a modeling agent in Spain while sitting in a cafĂ©. As she has stated, “I was the first Indian model to have a career in Paris, Milan and New York. I’m the first one to admit that I was a novelty.” Despite Lakshmi's comment about her being a pioneer as a model of Indian descent, her career follows in the footsteps of Persis Khambatta, a former Miss India, who modeled for Revlon.
She has modelled for top designers such as Emanuel Ungaro, Ralph Lauren, and Alberta Ferretti and done ad campaigns for Roberto Cavalli and Versus.She was a favorite model of the photographer Helmut Newton, whose photographs of her often highlighted the large scar on her right arm.
