I was soooo stoked and excited to see my old friend Natalia Vodianova host the Eurovision song contest tonight. What a surprise!
I just had to post some of my fav pics of hers.
For those of you that come by here and don´t know her (none fashionistas) -here´s a little bio.
Damn , it was hard finding just a few of her best work to post, she ´s been everywhere for so many years.
But I remember when she FIRST popped up on the models.com list-I immediately spotted her out-her innocent look and thick eyebrows and super pout.
Enjoy
Early life
Born in Gorky, USSR (now Nizhny Novgorod, Russia), Natalia Vodianova grew up in a poor district of the city with her mother and two half sisters, one of whom has cerebral palsy. As a teenager, Natalia helped her mother sell fruit on the street and later set up her own fruit stand with a friend to help her family out of poverty.[5]
[edit] Career
At age 15 Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy, was told she would need to learn English to succeed and mastered the language in three months. In 1999 at age 17 Vodianova moved to Paris, France and signed with Viva Model Management Paris.[6]
Vodianova has achieved considerable success as a runway, editorial and advertising campaign model. To date, Vodianova has walked in more 175 runway shows for U.S. and European based designers' ready-to-wear and haute couture collections, has appeared in editorial spreads in fashion magazines worldwide and has completed advertising campaigns for Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, L'Oréal, David Yurman, Marc Jacobs, Miss Sixty, Pepe Jeans, Diane von Fürstenberg, Chanel and others.[7]
Vodianova first appeared on the cover of the September 2005 edition of American Vogue along with eight other models, then appeared as the solo cover subject of the July 2007 edition of American Vogue.[8]During this time period, other covers of American Vogue have all featured non-model celebrities with only two other exceptions, models Linda Evangelista and Liya Kebede.
