Elvira Khisaeva is one of the standout new faces you saw again and again at last month’s haute couture extravaganza. This 17 year old from Ufa in the Western Urals region of Russia (go Wiki!) racked up seven shows. Count ‘em!
Felipe Oliveira Baptista,
Christophe Joss,
Mastermind,
Yumi Katsura,
Hana Touma,
Danny Attrache and
Josep Font. So why the successful outing? First of all, at 178cm, she’s poised and elegant which of course are requirements for showcasing the pricey, arty garments. Second of all, look at her! What a face. It’s darling and adorable, sure, but Elvira also has that mysterious, heart-wrenching attractive quality. Sort of like the daring, independent daughter of a James Bond colleague. I’ll bet she knows how to wield a crossbow.
Natalia Dadiani, from
President’s international department, calls her a “sweetheart” and after watching her casting video and appearances at the HC shows, we agree.
Elvira’s been busy. She shot a story for
Madame Figaro and last week worked with the very talented photographer
Elina Kechicheva. Yep, those scorching pics right here at the top! Her stats are 83cm-58cm-88cm and she was discovered when she was 16 by one of the President scouts. Elvira signed with the fine folks at
Major Model Management Paris. We should be seeing her in a few weeks in Milan and Paris for the ready to wear collections.
Thanks to Natalia at
President Model Management!
