Model of the Moment: Sasha Pivovarova

Photobucket

Russian model Sasha Pivovarova made her splash onto the scene in 2005. Then a fresh-face 20 year old, major fashion house Prada booked her to walk exclusively in both the Prada and Miu Miu F/W 05 shows. Sasha also landed a spot in the much hyped Prada campaign of that season, shot by Steven Meisel. Since then Pivovarova and her striking cheek bones, prominent jaw line, and piercing eyes have become a staple on the most coveted catwalks, magazine covers, campaigns, and editorials in the industry. Being replaced by legendary supermodel Linda Evangelista as the face of Prada this past season, a title she's held for the past couple of years, many thought this beauties career would slow down. But to the contrary she has picked up deals with Armani beauty, Tiffany & Co., and Pringle of Scotland to name a few. She has also been on five international Vogue covers in 2008 alone! Besides supermodel stardom Sasha doubles as a wife and artist. Some of her work has been published in French Vogue. It's not only Sasha's feline-like features, but her love for what she does that gives her staying power within this fickle industry, and makes her my Model of the Moment!
