Alla Kostromicheva

[71000]

An extremely talented model. She has a really powerful, masculine look that translates well for a variety of editorials. Her one flaw is that her face is so strong that sometimes she looks drag. I'm actually not a fan of her face, but her skill as a model won me over. She reminds me of Raquel because she is incredibly versatile, is an expert poser, and has a long face and a very distinct look. The sad part is, despite all her talent as a model, she has no Vogue covers, while trash like Cara, Lindsey, Kate Upton, etc. have too many. Hopefully she gets a cover for Vogue Ukraine soon.

This is my favorite polaroid of all time

And this is one of my favorite editorials of all time. Just in awe of how much control she has over her face and body, even when underwater.

I AGREE! I felt so sorry for her in the Dior S/S 2009 show when she had her little stumble...she looked SO mad

It's weird. Objectively, I don't really like her face, but she takes such great pictures!

Can't say I'm a huge fan of her face or her body, but damn, she's a great model who knows how to use her whole body for expression.
