Here's a nice little article I just read, it's from last year but oh well

I'd rather not start the age debate again, but I think they have Anna's age correct. She looks 20 going on 21 to me.

Anna Selezneva
Birthday: July 29, 1988
Hometown: Moscow, Russia
Agency: Silent

The breakout star of spring 2009 is Anna Selezneva. The 20-year-old Russian walked as an exclusive for Calvin Klein in New York this season, a spot previously occupied by Kate Moss and Natalia Vodianova. “Anna is current and sexy, and I loved working with her,” says Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. “This is clearly just the beginning of a great future ahead for her.” Her momentum continued overseas, where she was both opener and closer for Balmain and Emanuel Ungaro, was the last look at Valentino, and walked runways at Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Lanvin, and Louis Vuitton, among others.

Selezneva was discovered in Russia last year in an unlikely place—McDonald’s. “A boy of my age comes to me and says, ‘Listen, you are so pretty, don’t you want to become a model?’ ” Selezneva recalls in her lightly accented English. “I said, ‘I didn’t think about it, but if you have a real opportunity to send me abroad— ’ He said, ‘Where do you want to go?’ So, in two months I was in Paris.”

After signing with Silent management in Paris, Selezneva debuted on the runways there last October for designers like Dries Van Noten and Celine and was Italian Vogue Gioiello’s November 2007 cover. Her first star turn was this February, when she closed the fall 2008 Yves Saint Laurent show. In March, Mario Testino photographed her for a V magazine editorial, and Terry Richardson shot her for French Vogue. She currently appears in Calvin Klein Jeans ads. Asked what city she lives in, she replies, “It’s more like ‘In what airport do I live now?’ When I’m not traveling, I split my time between Paris, New York City, and Moscow.” Busy, yes; focused, too. Selezneva finished her undergraduate degree in psychology and is considering an advanced degree in the subject—that is, when her modeling career slows. After that Calvin Klein runway exclusive, a Collection campaign might not be far off. Settling down doesn’t look imminent.

They're wrong - but we'll leave it at that

 

[82ndfrag]

^ I guess we'll never know

 

[Flyest]

I don't understand why are you all so desperate if she's 20?? hahaah is that old??????? I don't think so! she's 20 for sure!

 

[82ndfrag]

^ Yeah, I think so too.

Anna can't be any older than 20...or maybe she just ages extremely well.

 

[SirSunday]

She was discovered at McDonald's? Really?! Was she ordering something or working there?

And to already have completed her undergraduate degree at the age of 20, very impressive.

I still her though, and her street style is impeccable!

 

[brollylolly]

She's 23. Rest assured!!

 

[Demelza]

This situation is just funny If anna says she's 18, then she's 18! and i guess we'll never know if that's true or not... but i don't care. She's a gorgeous, young, talented model and that's all that matters.

Is 23 old? No.

People just need to accept that she's 23, as evidence shows, and that 'age-fixing' is very common in the modelling industry.

Selezneva recalls in her lightly accented English. “I said, ‘I didn’t think about it, but if you have a real opportunity to send me abroad— ’ He said, ‘Where do you want to go?’ So, in two months I was in Paris.”

I liked the story better in Vogue Russia when she replied to the scout "I don't want to be in your army of prostitutes!"

in the article from vogue russia she said that she was in the WC at Mcdonald's when a boy of her age asked her whether she wants to be a model that boy really knows where to scout

 

[dancorpse]

That was really a interesting story!
I don't mind what age she really is, as long as I love her.

Thank God for that unnamed boy, we all owe him so much!

Yeah, I was just about to point it out! That was the best
