Equal parts dreamy and somnolent, Lia Pavlova<\/a>\u2019s haunting Von-Trier-esque gaze, hollow-cheeked visage and willowy, honey locks earned her the attention of Gucci before putting her in their Glen Luchford-shot FW campaign<\/a> set on the streets of Los Angeles. \u201cGlen is an amazing photographer and he made the shoot such a fun and enjoyable experience,\u201d says Lia, continuing, \u201cThe moment\u00a0I got the message that I was going to LA I was so happy. Going to LA was always my dream as a child.\u201d Certainly, there’s more travel in her future if things keep up. Besides being an understated stand-out, she\u2019s one half of twin\u00a0model duo<\/a>\u00a0with her sister\u00a0Odette<\/a>. Lia tells us, \u201cI feel very privileged and blessed to be a model. I find many of the sets and shows I have worked on very inspiring. It\u2019s hard to be away from my family but I almost always have amazing friends with me.\u201d While her career is still on its first leg, this Russian model is worth keeping a watchful eye on and with the next round of fashion weeks already around the corner Lia is looking forward to the buzz. With her lithe, runway-ready frame and the right amount of editorial juju she\u2019s positioned to continue winning over casting directors.<\/p>\n If you weren\u2019t modeling, what would you be doing?<\/strong><\/p>\n When I was at school I wanted to be an economist but now I really love psychology and drawing.<\/p>\n What would be your three dream magazines to be in?<\/strong><\/p>\n Vogue, i-D and Dazed and Confused.<\/p>\n What\u2019s your favorite mood on set?<\/strong><\/p>\n It depends on the shoot.
