Lera Levinski is a famous American supermodel of Russian origin. Her look and walk never stay unnoticed, and when it seems that Lera has already taken all the awards of this world, she again wins another one. Even during the lockdown, Levinski has appeared on the covers of 10 world publications over the past six months, such as: HOLL-

LERA, PLEASE TELL US HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO REACH NEW HEIGHTS DESPITE ALL THE RESTRICTIONS AND QUARANTINE MEASURES? DID NOT QUARANTINE BECOME A DRAWBACK IN YOUR WORK? Well, you know, quarantine has definitely left its mark on my work, by the way, I had to give up working with some major European brands due to the inability to fly to the shooting of their campaign. However, due to the fact that many people have started ordering

We made a shooting for Farinaz Fz of her first collection of dresses, which she presented at the Los Angeles Fashion Week, where Mimi and I actually met. And for the designer El Baleh in his chic jackets, for him I was on a runway at New York Fashion Week in February, by the way, they have a seasonal sale on their website now and you can buy pieces from the show with a huge discount! Also, in honor of my birthday, I gave away several designer items on my Instagram, so follow my stories.
LERA, PLEASE TELL US HOW YOU ARE GOING TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY? I have a tradition: every year I rent a villa in one of the most picturesque corners of the world and invite all my family and friends there. Unfortunately, this year my family will not be able to come due to quarantine, so we will be in a narrow circle of friends and go to St. Catalina Island near LA. It is a historic place, and it is said that all the most dashing smugglers gathered there during the gold rush. The island itself is in the top 10 picturesque islands in the world. I have already booked us a
