 It is well known that Natalia Vodianova was born to the poor
family when she had to survive to live and there was no time for her to think
of fashion tendencies at all. She got introduced to the model business and show
business world only when she had the proposal to work as a model and was given
the chance, the lucky chance, to improve. And we saw as the ordinary woman from
the province that turned into the real trendsetter.
This is the real history about the poor Cinderella who was really
kind and beautiful girl worth happiness and wealth, and she gained it
eventually with the happy end of the story. Currently Natalia is confident in
her opinion that a person gains what they want to have and also she is strong
to think that a stylish person is the one who is different from others in
manners and look.
Yet, Natalia Vodianova likes wearing ensembles that are rare
to see wherever else and whoever else. She does her shopping in unusual places,
like the flea markets somewhere in Europe or show-rooms held by unknown young
designers in New York. However, she tries to neglect haute couturiers and she
pays tributes to the classic works by Chanel or party dresses by Valentino.
Natalia has the different vision of fashion though she follows tendencies of
reputed designers when she had to appear in public.
She easily matches modern garments with vintage elements and
accessories, she can put on a tender and womanly dress with manly boots, she is
not afraid to experiment with motley patterns and flowery prints. Fashion analysts
adore that Natalia can look natural at every function and in every different
image.
The point is that Natalia is not overwhelmed with
stereotypes the beauties of the present adhere to and she is not afraid to look
outlandish and funny. She even can appear in public in the same attire for
several times.
So, leather leggings were her favorite garments for the long
period and she matched them with dresses and skirts experimenting. Lately she is
found to be keen on vintage things and she has a good collection of dresses and
accessories from the previous epochs. Every single appearance of Natalia on the
red carpet is an event. She likes to show in unusual things of vivid colors or
unique style. Differently, she prefers simplicity and comfort in her everyday
wear and she often appears in tight jeans, comfortable cardigans and simple
T-shirts.
The images that Natalia creates are laconic and she is far
away from diamonds and fur coats to be must-have for to the «Russian chic».
Natalia hates luxuries. In most cases she prefers a simple bracelet, watches or
an elegant pendant to a real jewelry shop for everyday use nonetheless she can
afford everything. She can wear a solid and massive necklace if the style or
fashion requires, though it is a rare case. She has a weakness for the elegant Chanel
2.55 handbags but she prefers roomy bags for every day. She likes scarves as no
one else in the world and can boast with long shawls, knitted scarves and
motley bohemian-styled kerchiefs.
And again, like any fashionmonger, Natalia has a wide
variety of shoes for every occasion. She has ethnic-styled sandals and classic ballet
shoes, high boots and military boots, and jockey boots stand along with light
summer heel-straps. Though, the shoe collection does without extravagant
stilettos or futuristic shoes from some plexiglass since she finds them too
exaggerated.
Natalia has a charming feature to keep her beauty and youth
that do not fade with years. Moreover, she looks fine even if she does not use
makeup.
For the public functions and red carpet events Natalia
prefers natural makeup and she neglects it in her everyday life reasonably
supposing that her face and hair should have a rest either.
The same is with her hairdo. In most pictures we see Natalia
with loose and somewhat shaggy hairdo. She never experimented with haircuts and
the only extreme hair style she afforded is the long bob style. She rejects any
advice on changing the color of her hair. «Everyone seeks for their individual look,
the image that perfectly suits them. I’ve found it and why should I change it?»,
- asks Natalia Vodianova and replies to herself that she does not want to change
anything in her image. She is now what she always wanted to be.
