The woman talking to Natalia Vodianova is Marina Bychokova, an extraordinary doll maker who currently resides in Canada. This is a quote from her blog:
"I met and talked to the beautiful Natalia Vodianova. It was rather surreal meeting her in person since I have known about this model and referenced her face in painting my dolls for a long time. She is just as beautiful in person as she is on magazines covers. I told her that I was going to sculpt her face for my dolls and she thought it was a fabulous idea. Although, I think that she didn’t take it seriously. I saw her husband, Justin Portman there too. It’s funny, we are the same age her and I, yet she felt quite a bit older than me because she is so tall, beautiful and has 3 childern. Very sweet girl. We posed for a picture together but the camera battery died at that very moment. Hopefully I will get another chance for a photo at a future show."
I love how Natalia's exquisite beauty can be seen from a candid shot backstage.
