Aliona Doletskaya, Vogue Russia Editor-in-Chief
Aliona Doletskaya
She's got a British accent but she's Russian. She likes to drive cars! She's human! She's nice! She's real! She's just like us! Got 26 minutes to spare? Check out this full-length feature of Aliona Doletskaya who celeberates 10 years of tenure this year as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Russia. I love Aliona. I really do. Say what you want about the "baby Vogues" but Vogue Russia, like Vogue Paris, to me, is "IT".
Month after month after month, she offers original content, she uses models for her covers and her editorials are very bold, strong and in your face. Just the way I like it. Soo refreshing from the sanitized, repetitive and dull "let's get a blond actress promoting a movie and put her in a white dress" formula by the usuals.
I mean really, any editor who puts Natasha Poly on the cover two months in a row deserves her stripes, yes?

I love Aliona!
The first cover with Natasha Poly is GORGEOUS.. that doesn't even do justice. BEYOND WORDS. It's like she isn't human!!!

Yep! She always gets interviewed at Style.com. She caught my eye during the Lanvin Fall 2008 clip where she said something along the lines of "why dress up at 5PM when you can look beautiful at 10..AM!"
Aliona rocks!!!!

Aliona on two covers in a row? She definitely deserves some international love.
