Natalia Vodianova named 'Look of the Moment'

Famous for her lips and eyes, it comes as no surprise that The New York Times just matched Russian model Natalia Vodianova with the latest "Look of the Moment." The look is known as Coquette Visage — a red lip and shoe combination with a solid, full-length dress and very little design aside from a crochet collar and hemline.

Natalia was seen wearing this look as she exited the Ritz Hotel in Paris. She looked flawless in her Ulyana Sergeenko pioneeress dress, Burak Uyan shoes, and a corresponding Chanel handbag. With her hair tied back and her waistline slightly accentuated, you would never assume that this cover girl is a mother of three.

With an ageless complexion and a heart of gold, Natalia is not just a beautiful fashion model — she is also an activist who helps Russian orphans and an actress, having starred in To Russia with Love in 2004. Not bad for an established good girl! The Times' "Look of the Moment" is not only a blessing in the fashion world; it is also for the good of society — and we approve.

Model Watch Monday: Hello, Sunshine.

Meet Anastasia Krivosheeva, 19 from Russia. There isn't really any story here, she wasn't discovered while walking with some friends to school, shopping or tanning on the beach. Anastasia just walked into a modeling agency in Moscow and said, "Hello" ... and lucky for us she did.  She is now represented by Women Direct NY, Women Milan, Silent, Uno, Place Models, Premier Models Management, and her mother agency World Fashion. Can't wait to see this one evolve, someone shoot her for the cover of CHAOS stat ... with a stare like that, watch out, must contact Women Direct. ;)

Model Watch Monday: Ksenia, from Russia to NYC...

via Direct Women. This Russian stunner comes to us from Nizhny Novgorod (yes, have a moment with that one), Russia. Her name is Ksenia Golubeva, a Leo, born August 16th, and standing 5'11 she has already staked her claim on the catwalk. Ksenia has truly made her walk her money maker having walked for Dries van Noten, Jil Sanders, Issey Miyake, and others. Her jump to NYC was thanks to Women Direct. They snatched her up (not surprised why) and are giving her the momentum she needs to have some serious staying power in our lovely, fickle industry. I'm sure she'll be dominating editorials left and right soon enough.

Not too sure of her mother agency back in Russia, but who really cares when you've gone straight to the major leagues and got your New York City agency. Do you really need anyone else?

Model Monday: Egor Zakiryaev, boom boom pow!

Many beautiful things come from Russia, great vodka and beautiful men! I'd say that's enough to love that country, wouldn't you? The strong features, statuesque physiques, the strong attitude who wouldn't love a Russian boy?

I'm pleased to open your eyes to this beau, Egor Zakiryaev, hailing from St. Petersburg Russia. Love his persona in his images, the whole "nonchalant" vibe works for this one. He is definitely mature beyond his years, careful though ladies, he's only 16! Yes, SIXTEEN, shocking isn't it?

Standing 6'1, black hair and brown eyes he was discovered while tagging along to a friends casting. Egor caught someones eye and was signed to Select Deluxe Model Management in Russia and has already been swooped up by VNY Model Management in NYC. Nice work Egor, hope we'll be seeing you soon over here on this side of the pond.

Until next week, kisses!
