The look of confidence when true love prevails
She stills herself, hearing the faint canter of a horse in the distance; a sound that appears to grow louder with her own rhythmic heart beat, now thundering away in her chest. She’s confident her heroic (and trust me Matryoshka’s in this tale the hero’s dashingly handsome) Bogatyr has come to save her from a life with a brutish Slavic rogue.
This folkloric beauty is actually the Russian model Irna Vodolazova disguised by modern Russian folk dress, comprised of Sarafan’s, Shapka-Ushanka’s, and Kokoshnik’s. The Russian folk inspired spread was for Elle Russia’s November 2012 issue.
