Natalia Vodianova is a Russian model. Since bursting into the spotlight in 2001, She has campaigned for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Euphoria, Gucci and Miss Sixty. Her Cinderella story of going from poverty into modeling glamour has also created great buzz about her.
Natalia Vodianova was born on February 28, 1982, in Gorky, Russia. She lived with her mother and two half-sisters under meager and tough conditions. The poor lifestyle was a result of Soviet Union’s road to collapse and its aftermath. The political and economic conditions took a harsh toll on Natalia’s family, as she had to start working at the age of eleven. Natalia and her family sustained eachother with a fruit stall business. At age 15, Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy, where she learned ladylike behavior and etiquette. Fortunately, she also went to casting opportunities, and one day, she caught the eye of a scouting agent from Paris. He told her that a great future was in store for her; all she had to do was learn English in three months.
……….
When she was 19 years old, she made much headway in modeling but still had not made it big. For some time, she was distracted however, after falling in love and marrying British real-estate heir Justin Portman. She gave birth to son Lucas before the lavish wedding in St. Petersburg, and for an instant, her career looked bleak. Luckily, these distractions did not sway her: she roamed the runways for several fall collections and flabbergasted so many that she headlined the Yves Saint Laurent show that same year.
………………
Soon, Vodianova’s phone was ringing off the hook. Gucci made her the new face for their perfume line after she had more than 40 runway shows under her belt, and then Calvin Klein called to hire her for their big Spring show. She was formally the hot new face in town and even made a brief appearance in Roman Coppola’s film CQ with Billy Zane and Gerard Depardieu.
