At age 15, Vodianova enrolled in a modeling academy, and started going to castings. A scouting agent from Paris told her that she could have a great future if she learned English quickly. Convinced that her life would change for the better, Vodianova learned English in three months, moved to Paris and signed up with the Viva agency at age 17. Soon, Gucci made her the new face for their perfume line. Her ability to natch top campaigns quickly earned her the nickname ‘Supernova’. After working at more than 40 runway shows, she was hired to appear in Calvin Klein’s spring show. Around this time she also made a brief appearance in Roman Coppola’s film CQ, with Billy Zane.
In September 2008 Natalia Vodianova admitted that she’s not interested in film making currently because of her three children.
Vodianova has done campaigns for David Yurman, Louis Vuitton, L’Oréal, “Dar Tamaddon”,/*Darria Studio*/ Marc Jacobs, Miss Sixty, Pepe Jeans, and Calvin Klein’s collection and his fragrance, “Euphoria”.
