Eugenia Mandzhieva backstage
Eugenia Mandzhieva is a Russian fashion model of Kalmyk descent. She is soooo tall! I thought maybe 6′ 1″ but apparently she is only 5’11”. She has appeared on the cover of Russian and China Vogue and modeled for Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger and Marc Jacobs. I love taking pictures of models because they LOVE having their picture taken! Here is Eugenia backstage at Ports 1961. There were four Asian models in the Ports show; Eugenia, Lakshmi Menon, Hyun Yi Lee and Razia (new).
