“These are my new shoes. They’re good shoes. They won’t make you rich like me, they won’t make you rebound like me, they definitely won’t make you handsome like me. They’ll only make you have shoes like me. That’s it.”

As an art history student at the Russian State University for the Humanities, Pivovarova never dreamed of becoming a model until her friend and future husband, photographer Igor Vishnyakov, took photos of her in 2005 and gave them to international modeling agency IMG, thus beginning her career.
Her agencies are: IMG Models in New York City, and Donna Models in Tokyo. Took her own self-portrait for the new Rag & Bone Do-It-Yourself ad campaign spring 2011 along with models Abbey Lee Kershaw and Lily Aldridge.
Pivovarova made her acting debut in the science-fiction thriller In Time, opposite Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. Pivovarova played Clara, the 130 year old mother-in-law of Vincent Kartheiser’s character, Philip Weis, who is 90 years old.

BELLA FREUD: 1970
Fashion designer Bella Freud (daughter of painter Lucian Freud and great-granddaughter of Sigmund Freud) has teamed up with perfumer Azzi Glasser and launched her first fragrance line under the name of Bella Freud Parfum. Her perfumes are named by the slogans that adorn her fashion collection, which consists of a variety of references to the past, films and poetry. The line consists of three scents: Ginsberg is God, Je t’aime Jane and 1970.
1970 is a feminine fragrance freedom and style made of May rose, saffron, incense, myrrh, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, moss, musk and benzoin. “Bella Freud’s 1970 is the hedonist, the girl dancing until dawn on the beach of Formentera, the smell of incense in the warm night air. An alchemy of rich and tenacious accords celebrate the essence of cultural style and freedom.”
The face of the perfume is model Gala Gordon. The fragrances are available as 50 ml Eau de Parfum.
