Natalia Vodianova (February 2003 - January 2009)

She`s the most beatifull woman in the world... Or not?

i think after her chanel contract is done, she will stop modelling. she has said in her interview how tough modeling is, and how they scrutinize every little detail in weight. i don't think she wants to go back.

I was hoping for her to return to catwalk but if this is not what she wants thats too bad
then again imagine seeing Natalia on a silver screen! She shouldnt take a stage name I think she's got a nice name!!!!!!!

I think it would be such a loss for the industry if Natalia decided to quit modelling completly.

She was my first ever favourite model, when I was fifteen and started reading fashion magazines she was everywhere and I feel very emotionally attached to her. She was the start of a new era in modelling and is even more special in editorials than she is on the runway.

I think shes been doing some wonderful things in the fashion world, speaking about current issues and concerns etc. I think it would be a shame for her to bow out when her profile is expanding and she can really make a difference.

She would be sorely missed if she stopped modelling but I doubt she would vanish altogether, I´m sure she´d have an acting career or something like that.

Yeah, she said she wants to be an actress and I think she will still make a difference and speak about the current issues... I doubt she will return to the catwalks, models rarely do after such a long time away. Besides, it doesn't look like she's enjoying modeling all that much...

I will obviously miss Natalia as well, she's my fav model, but I think she's too over exposed and it looks like she has already done everything she could've possibly done as a model, so if she wants to move on... There's really not too many fields left in the industry for a model of her caliber...

Beauty contracts, however, is a whole different thing. She doesn't even have to be a model to do them. Many actresses have beauty contracts, take Sharliz Theron for example... So, Chanel may not be really interfering with her possible plans to leave modeling...

So looks soooo good as a brunette !!! I've been longing to find pictures of her like that since I remember there once was a pic of her with dark hair, though it was probably a wig... Do you by any chance know when that pic was taken (what show/season) ? It looks like a early one...

Anyways, thanks and karma to you !

^I think that wig was for Marc Jacobs. probably around 2003 or something

Edit: I checked it, it was fall 2003!

^ Thanks, but I wasn't talking about that particular picture. It's just that when she wasn't really famous, there was this picture of her with short dark brown hair that came up in most of her profiles at different sites... It was much earlier - around 2001 or so... I've been trying to find it, but no such luck.

I think it's the one at her wedding in the car? It looks really brown there.

[fashionkitten7]

^ No, it's a earlier one... And her hair is much shorter in it.

[OriginalSin]

Was Spring 2003 when Natalia first started appearing in Calvin Klein ads or was it earlier than that? Like Fall 2002 maybe?

[catty]

I think I know it. Really short hair like snow white? I will look. Here is a color pulse ad from my archives, got it from the loreal site.
