>> THE MODELIZER -Naomi Campbell is still with that billionaire boyfriend of hers, real estate entrepreneur Vladislav Doronin, and they made a stop off in Moscow last Thursday for Russian Vogue's 10th anniversary party. While there, Vladislav dropped 33,000 euros ($43,000) on a matryoshka designed by Stefano Pilati for the occasion, a present for Naomi, who is the Fall 2008 Yves Saint Laurent face. [WWD, Style.com]

>> That Fabien Baron training has done Julia Restoin-Roitfeld well: She now not only art directs ad campaigns behind the scenes, but she also stars in them as well. First Gap for Fall 2008, and now British fashion accessories chain Accessorize: The latter campaign may have been styled by Russian Vogue's Simon Robbins and shot in Greenwich Village, but I never really took Julia for a catalogue girl.

Does Anna Wintour Need to Worry About Aliona Doletskaya?

fashionologie — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:50:15 PDT

>> Founded or unfounded, the buzz about Russian Vogue editor Aliona Doletskaya as Anna Wintour's successor continues to grow, especially since The New York Times brought the possibility up earlier this month while Aliona was in town attending New York Fashion Week.

Page Six is reporting today that Elle has finally surpassed Vogue by 66 ad pages in the October issues - not good for Anna, especially when earlier this week in Moscow, Aliona was introduced as "The next editor of American Vogue." It all seems a little suspect to me - Freudian slip, maybe? -but here's a May profile video of Aliona in case you want to get to know her and her smoker's voice a little better. She and Anna have at least one thing in common - they both love their fur.

Anna, meanwhile, is carrying on with her duties in Milan, where last night, she (randomly) dined alongside Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend.

>> INSIDER WIRE -Could Anna Wintour's successor at Vogue be Russian? The New York Times seems to think it's possible: Russian Vogue's Aliona Doletskaya's "somewhat austere presence has fueled blog twittering that she is on a short list of likely successors," but Aliona dismisses the rumors as "pure fantasy, just that - someone else’s romantic notion."

Aliona Doletskaya Has a New Gig

fashionologie — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:26:50 PDT

>> Aliona Doletskaya, who resigned from editing Vogue Russia last year (and was once rumored to be in the running for Anna Wintour's position), has a new gig. She has teamed with Vladislav Doronin (Naomi Campbell's billionaire boyfriend) and Bernard Runge, CEO of Phillips de Pury & Company, to launch Russian and German editions of Interview magazine.

Doletskaya will edit both of the magazines (Interview Russia hits newsstands at the end of the year, followed by Interview Germany in early 2012), and Jo-Ann Furniss, who resigned as editor of Arena Homme Plus earlier this year, will act as international fashion director.

In a press release, Doletskaya said she was excited to work on magazines for two different countries: “Moscow and Berlin are cultural capitals of the modern world. The progressive, open-minded communities in those cities are booming. They have the drive and desire to grow, to discover, to move forward. Interview has always been a creative platform for talented individuals unafraid to break taboos and freely express their artistic vision. Now is the time to do so on this side of the ocean.”

Rumor - Aliona Doletskaya In Pursuit of POP Editor Position?

fashionologie — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 09:29:07 PST

>> Founding Vogue Russia editor Aliona Doletskaya resigned from her position at the end of July - with her final issue of the magazine hitting stands for September 2010 - without delineating any future plans other than notifying Condé Nast International president Jonathan Newhouse that, in his words, she would like to "start a new life, probably to write a book or try her hand in a new field." Not much has been heard from Doletskaya since - save for a recent byline in the New York Times on luxury in Russia - but late last week, Derek Blasberg Tweeted, "In today's completely unsubstantiated rumors: Aliona Doletskaya, former editor-in-chief of Russian Vogue, is vying for the top gig at POP." Dasha Zhukova resigned from the POP position earlier this month. [@derekblasberg]

A Naomi Campbell-Vladislav Doronin Wedding Could Very Well Happen in 2011 - Although Not at Egypt's Luxor Temple

fashionologie — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:33:06 PST

>> Are Naomi Campbell and Vladislav Doronin getting married, as rumors have been purporting? Vogue thinks so - in a list of things 2011 will bring, the magazine included: "One can only imagine the stops Naomi Campbell will pull out for her upcoming wedding to Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin. Whether in Moscow or Marrakech, all we know for certain is that this is the one invitation that even the A-list will be angling for."

Originally, rumors had Campbell and Doronin marrying at the ancient Egyptian temple Luxor, which overlooks the Nile, over Dec. 7 and 8, but a representative of Egypt's Supreme Council for Antiquities, which overlooks the protection of archeological sites, said it had not been notified by Campbell of her desire to hold a wedding there. “Even if she asked for that, we would definitely refuse,” the representative said. “Our temples are not wedding halls. This is an insult."

Rumors have also pointed to Venice as a possible location for the wedding, with February 2011 as the reputed new time frame. Regardless, it would be a first marriage for Campbell.
