Model Sasha Pivovarova, the face of Biotherm, balances work and personal life by painting and practising kung fu.

YOU may not know her name, but anyone who has flipped fashion glossies for the past four years would have seen her face.

She holds the record for six consecutive campaigns for Prada. Last year, at the Chanel Fall/Winter haute couture show in Paris, she wore the veiled wedding dress, the final outfit before Karl Lagerfeld took his bow.

At 24, Russian-born Sasha Pivovarova — not Pivorova, Pivarova or Pivavorova, the spelling mistakes often made with her five-syllable surname — is an established face in the modelling world.

Married to photographer Igor Vishnyakov, she shot to stardom in 2005 after her husband sent photos of her to modelling agency IMG. In the same year, she opened the Fall/ Winter Prada show in Milan.

Since then, she has appeared in fashion spreads in Vogue and W, and has worked with sought-after fashion photographers such as Steven Meisel and Patrick Demarchelier.
