1. VARYA SHUTOVA

-

Varya started modelling three years ago, aged 23, after being scouted dancing in a band in St Petersburg, Russia. She has walked for Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, but says that her greatest career achievemen­t has been working with Marc Jacobs. Varya calls St Petersburg home but is currently living and working in New York. When she gets a day off, she likes to roam the city seeking inspiratio­n for her art: ‘I love to draw,’ she says. Varya keeps a scented candle and a book by her bed, and her current read is Paulo Coelho’s The Diary Of A Magus. Varya stars in Style Out on page 234.
