At 17, I won a competition that brought me to New York, launching my modeling career under my lucky stars. After a few incredible years working in Paris, I returned to the U.S. and for over two years I became a Guess Girl ( a dream came true).
I starred in several notable commercials — one for Killian Beer, directed by Michael Bay. My career expanded into acting, with appearances in movies such as Lord of War and Zoolander, and television: Law & Order and How to Make It in America (though I never quite fell for Hollywood). Along the way, I welcomed my son, Nikita — my greatest role of all.
I’ve had a blast working with visionaries such as Helmut Newton, Bruce Weber, Ellen Von Unwerth, and Peter Beard, and many other great ones.
Clients, to name a few, have included Burberry, Lancôme, Victoria's Secret, Wella, Maybelline, IT Cosmetics, Ogee, BREIL, L'Oreal...
I have graced the pages and a few covers of magazines such as Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Grazia, Shape, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, and more. On the runway, I’ve walked for icons like Ralph Lauren, Thierry Mugler, Ungaro, Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson, Gianfranco Ferré, Roberto Cavalli, and others.
After taking a break, I returned to modeling — all while nurturing my lifelong passions for drawing and painting. Those passions have since blossomed into interior design and my jewelry line, which has even landed in a few magazines — and on a cover.
