Natalia Vodianova

Stats: 87/63/89   Height: 176  DOB: 1982

Natalia is rapidly becoming a favourite of mine, and should have a propitious modeling career in the next few years. She recently gave birth to a son then resumed modeling a month later (motherhood being currently trendy). She's the star of the current Gucci campaign.

She seems more approachable than most of the other Russian models, and a figure that engenders a strong desire in the beholder to reach out an hug her. Very cuddly.

Update: Natalia is the new number 1 model, knocking Karolina Kurkova out of her previously exalted position as the fashion elite's favourite. She's cropping up in magazine editorials everywhere, and she opened and closed a lot of the 2003 SS shows.

 

 

Tetyana Brazhynk  

Stats: 84/61/87   Height: 177 cm  DOB: November 6, 1983

Tetyana belongs to a class of models I term "Russian dolls" - slender, delicate looking girls with youthful features. Zuzana Macasova and Ksenia Maximova are fabricated in a similar mould. Like many Russian models Tetyana launched her career in London (in 2001 I believe). She's currently faring well, with advertising campaigns for La Perla and Sonia Rykiel.

 

Zuzana Macasova  

Stats: 90/60/94   Height: 180 cm  DOB: 17th October, 1981

Zuzana is another excellent addition to the slender but shapely cadre of models; her body a masterpiece of svelte sexiness. She's been modelling since at least 2000, primarily in the shows of minor designers. Several editorials but no prominant advertising work to date.
