In an intimate interview, Vodianova opens up about her finding romance and success, from being raised by a single mother in Nizhny Novgorod (then Gorky) and caring for her disabled younger sister to her philanthropic social network app, Elbi. Find a few bits from her interview below, and read the full story HERE.
On being scouted at age 11…
“If I hadn’t become a model I would probably have ended up living on the street…I never feel secure. I’m always prepared for the worst!”
On Elbi, the micro-giving social network app…
“We want to make giving easy, something you can do sitting around at the airport, without a second thought.”
On her first date with Antoine Arnault…
“We had a drink on his terrace with a view of Paris and it was completely ridiculous. We were both super shy. I knew that seeing him in jeans, like a casual, normal guy, I liked him. But he didn’t even try to kiss me! I’m not the kind of girl who worries if a man likes her. I mean, somewhere deep down I’m really fragile, and it would hurt me, but I put on a lot of bravado, even to myself. So I thought, OK, maybe he just wants to be friends?”
Plus! Antoine Arnault weighs in…
“Since almost our first date, it has been a superb roller coaster ride. Natalia doesn’t even remember it. I remember seeing her and my jaw sort of dropping internally. I mean, of course she’s beautiful, but she has something undefinable: her look, her air; there’s an aura around her.” From Fashion week Daily
