Kirsten Owen (born November 22, 1970) is a Canadian-born English fashion model.
After being scouted in Toronto, Owen began modelling at the age of 16. In 1987 she appeared on the cover of Elle in three different countries (Spain,France and Italy). After this amazing breakthrough, however, Owen did not immediately launch herself into modelling. In fact, it was two more years before she got another big break, appearing on the cover of the French version of Marie Claire magazine in July and October 1989 and on the cover of i-D magazine in 1990. Later that year she also got work walking in a show in Milan for Jill Sander while in early 1991 she was once again featured in Elle, this time in an editorial. After this it would be another five years before Owen would work again.
When Owen once again began working it was in a show in Milan for Prada in February 1996. After this, things began to pick up as she became the face of Helmut Lang and was again featured in an Elle editorial in January 1997. A month later Kirsten found herself in demand as she walked in shows in Paris and New York for Chloe, Dries van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein, and Helmut Lang. That same year Owen was featured in an editorial of Vogue Italia and appears on the cover of the same magazine two months later. In 1999 she continued this success by becoming the face of Fendi. Kirsten Owen was also on the catwalk in Milan and Paris of September that year for Dolce & Gabbana, Lanvin, Yves Saint Laurent, and Louis Vuitton.
