Eugenia Kuzmina is a Russian-American, born during the Soviet era in all its hardships, who was discovered as a model on the streets of Moscow, and from that moment, her life changed. Her life has ebbed and it flows from the world of fashion, where she has walked for luxury brands and worked with the most notable of fashion designers from Alexander McQueen, Mugler, Viktor&Rolf, Karl Lagerfeld, Alber Elbaz, and Vivienne Westwood- to name a few. And it has extended now, to the worlds of film and comedy. A good-hearted soul, we all need a Eugenia Kuzmina in our lives.
