The famous model Elena Perminova, who is now being invited by global brands to her shows, has gone through a thorny path to fame. However, some of the journalists, on the contrary, believe that she was lucky, like Cinderella.
Where is the truth and where is the lie
Probably, as always, the truth is in the middle. The main bump in the life of Elena Perminova was the story of drugs, the trade of which was put on a large scale in the nightclubs of the city. Perhaps her youth, and perhaps her love for the man with whom she then lived, pushed her to take this step. A seventeen-year-old girl was not only brought to
trial, but was even detained, and then sentenced to six years probation for drug trafficking.
But it was at that time that Elena Perminova met the Russian billionaire. The biography of the beginning model was replenished with the story of Cinderella. Elena’s father sent a letter to State Duma deputy Alexander Lebedev, who was just developing a bill on witness protection. The protection of a high person came in handy, otherwise the girl would hardly have escaped with such an easy sentence.
The confluence of circumstances did not end there. The deputy not only defended the young beauty, but also fell in love with her, moreover, he was also a billionaire. What is not a fairy tale story that had a happy sequel? But first things first.
I dreamed of being a model since childhood.
The two most significant moments in the girl’s life sometimes overshadow the rest of her life, especially the part that took place in the model’s homeland. And yet Elena Perminova does not refuse her. The biography of the catwalk star begins in the small town of Berdsk, which is located in the Novosibirsk region.
Elena was born in 1986 in a middle-income family. She had an older sister. Like all girls, they dreamed of clothes, fame, and wealth.
After school, Elena entered the Kuzbass Institute of Economics and Law, but did not graduate . She preferred a career as a model, which she began at the age of sixteen, becoming a scout of the modeling agency Modus Vivendis. With this agency, the girl even signed a contract, which was interrupted when she was under investigation.
Elena's tenacity should be envied. Already under investigation, she is filming for Playboy magazine. Participates in several shows. Finally, appears in the clip of Stas Piekha.
Success on the catwalks
Probably, this success would not have come if not for Alexander Lebedev, who fell in love with a future star. He helped her to become one.
After a relatively successful end to the judicial history, Elena continued her modeling career. Soon, Playboy magazine elected her the girl of the month. And a little later, starting in 2009, she already takes an active part in fashion shows that take place in European cities, trendsetters - Milan, Rome, Paris. The Russian model brilliantly demonstrates the new collections of Viktor & Rolf, Lanvin, Armani and others.
Elegant and fragile Elena Perminova (height, weight - 174 cm and 50 kg, respectively) with bright facial features won many admirers both in Russia and in Europe.
Model Style - Vanguard
This style does not prevent Elena from remaining romantic and feminine. It would seem that she wears incongruous things at the same time with grace and simplicity. For others, this clothing would look if not funny, then inappropriate, but the model feels great in it. Maybe that's why it provokes so many conflicting opinions. And nevertheless, no matter how the individual personalities slander, they are always the first to strive to see a new image of the model, and photos of Elena Perminova can so often be seen in magazines.
As a model, the girl participates in the shows of many famous Fashion houses, but for herself, in everyday life, she prefers the work of young and little-known designers. Some journalists call this her urban crazy style. Because among her things there are no ordinary T-shirts, blouses, jeans. Elena chooses memorable, conspicuous outfits in which she always remains a stunning beauty.
