About the cover model:
Natalia Vodianova, born on February 28, 1982, in Gorky (now Nizhny Novgorod), Russia, is a renowned supermodel and philanthropist. She grew up in a poor district of the city with her mother and two half-sisters, one of whom has cerebral palsy. Her life before fame was challenging, as her family struggled financially, and she helped her mother sell fruit on the street and later set up her own fruit stand to assist her family.
Vodianova's modeling career took off when she was discovered in Nizhny Novgorod by a scout for a Parisian agency. At 17, she moved to Paris and quickly started appearing on runways and magazine covers, rising to international fame in the early 2000s. Known for her rags-to-riches life story, she has worked for major fashion houses including Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, L'Oréal, and Marc Jacobs.
In addition to her modeling career, Vodianova is well-known for her philanthropic work. She established the Naked Heart Foundation in 2004, a charity focused on providing safe and inspiring play facilities for Russian children, particularly those living in poverty. The organization has since expanded its mission to include support for families with children with special needs and the promotion of inclusive play.
Vodianova has also been a public speaker and advocate for several causes, including children's rights and the destigmatization of disabilities. She has been recognized for her philanthropic efforts and is often cited as an example of someone who has used her fame and resources to make a significant positive impact.
Natalia has been featured in various international publications and has received numerous accolades for both her modeling career and her philanthropic work. Her personal life, including her relationships and family, has also been a subject of public interest
