Wealthy persons are mostly known for their fortune only. However, despite they make billions, these people possess some personal features that attract people when estimating them. While Warren shovels up money, he has to do with quite conflicting image he created: he is known to be the proved miser and at the same time he privately donates huge amounts for charity purposes.
A couple of years ago, this girl was well known by spiteful paparazzi only. She lived in London, attended social events, studied a little and a little engaged in business. There is nothing special. Well, unless that of her love affair with Marat Safin. But could that be called a "serious" affair? Well, was there anyone that had a serious affair with Marat? And then Dasha took away one very rich man, Roman Abramovich, from his family. Perhaps it is fruitless to criticize Roman Arkadevich's marriage with madam Zhukova. But the portraits of the rival in love were gleamed on all the pages magazines. She is a simple public figure.
Daria Zhukova was born in 1983 in Moscow. Her parents divorced
shortly after her birth and the mother took her daughter to the U.S.
(Elena Zhukova was offered to continue her career as a microbiologist).
First, the mother and daughter settled in Santa Barbara. Shortly after,
Dasha got used to spend her school breaks in ski resorts in Colorado
and went to school in Los Angeles. Here, she met Christina Tang, a
classmate who later became her business partner. In LA Daria adopted
the habit of not eating farinaceous food and dairy products. She also
acquired a special American accent. Zhukova is stylish in the American
way: she wears Chloe Luella in the daytime and wears YSL and Prada in
the evening.
At this time Daria's father developed his own
business. Today Alexander Zhukov (according to information from the
Ukrainian media group "Zavtra", his real name is Alexander
Shayyaborhovich Radkin: he adopted his wife's last name) is a major
player in the field of Russian natural monopoly. The Sintez Holding,
which he organized, was well absorbed in the Russian and Ukrainian
markets, and its founder lived in London and in Sardinia. There was
even a small scandal in 2001: a certain transport of 30 thousand
Kalashnikov automatic rifles, 10 thousand grenade launchers, 11
thousand anti-tank missiles, 400 anti-aircraft missiles and 32 million
cartridges. And as if all these were carried into the zone of military
operations, and such transport was not one ... But it later turned out
that the European prosecutor's office was wrong.
Nevertheless,
Zhukov always loved his daughter apart from active business. Therefore,
in 1993 he invited her to live in London (at that time, he was already
a subject of Her Majest). Dasha became well accustomed with her new
environment, and according to her, she already feels equally
comfortable both in Moscow and in London...The heiress made friends
with other children of rich Russians. In fact, it is not a secret that
the children of oligarchs grow on the fertile ground of the obscure
Albion. In London Dasha lives in a penthouse owned by her father.
Information on Zhukova's education is scant: obvioously, it is not so
interesting as love affairs. However, there is information that she
studies homeopathy at London Institute of Naturopathy. Truly, it is
unclear when she manages to find time for the study because by her
words, "I have been living a high society life since when I was sixteen
years old".
Like many other children of Russian oligarchs,
Daria sooner felt an ineradicable attraction to design and even created
her own clothing brand. It is because of its promotion that she
appeared on the pages of the Russia's Vogue in the Kova & T
clothing (short form for Zhukova and Tang last names). Zhukova's
business partner, Christina Tang, was a daughter of the Hong Kong
billionaire and owner of Shanghai Tang brand. In the last few months,
Daria Zhukova's design business is rising. Her clothing brand is in
high demand among Englishwomen. This is, of course, largely connected
to Dasha's sudden scandalous popularity. Kova & T dresses are sold
in 83 shops worldwide. Drew Barrymore and the Olsen sisters are now hot
fans of this brand. Dasha Skinny jeans are the most popular among
buyers. It costs about 200 dollars.
And finally, about the most
piquant news: the first paparazzi "documented" meeting of Roman
Abramovich and Darya Zhukova: it took place in Barcelona in February
2005 during the Champions League match in which Chelsea football club
lost to the Spanish champions by 1:2. It seems since then, they have
been together.
Lingerie for women was just the plain underwear until the 20th century when it became the mean self-expression, as the subject of esthetic admiration. A piece of lingerie seen in between the women wear looked quite shocking to be shame and no one thought of designing luxury items based on lingerie, leaving alone works of art. Today every woman dreams of having a pair, or even more, of luxury and high quality lingerie to associate with sexuality, sensibility and attraction with male.
Today the knitwear is presented in so many styles and
it is so popular that no single autumn and spring collections can do without
hosiery. Knit
women's coats are offered in classic, sporty, romantic, vintage, casual and
ethnic styles. The demand for knit coats
grows in line with the more increasing range of color and texture of woolen
yarn as merino wool, angora, alpaca, Kashmir. Globally known brands launch knit
coats for women in their latest collections and most celebrities today appear
wearing knitwear for many occasions and that's hard to picture that some time
back it was something different.
First established in 1860, Chopard is one of the reputed watch and jewelry houses producing incredibly beautiful, fascinating jewelry items and watches of dream. The house also launched a number of celebrated fragrances as Casmir, Wish, Madness and Infiniment. Despite the long and solid history of the brand, it appeared only recently in the market of fragrances with the first fragrance Chopard launched only in 1992. Six years later, in 1996, the Chopard House presented its Mira-Bai, the fragrance which is still in favor among women keen on oriental scents. Mira-Bai shows no intentions to compete with such a fashion-setter in the sphere of oriental compositions as Guerlain Shalimar, though the fragrance by Chopard takes its niche among the classic perfumes in the market of oriental perfume.
Perfume launched y the Japanese brands or the one inspired by the Japanese culture is something so special in the international market of perfume. Unlike the other fragrances produced in bulk, such perfume with the traces of Japanese inspiration and life surely exert attention and this is reasonable: it is not only the perfume to market and ear money but the whole philosophy, covert but absolute. So, most perfume launched by the famous Japanese culture followers take their niches in the global market, like Kenzo and Issey Miyake. Issey Miyake launched the genially iconic fragrance of the 90s with such a simple and unpretentious name as Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey.
