Natalia Vodianova took part in a photo shoot for the Russian brand 12 Storeez in Paris. Particular attention was drawn to the participation in the shoot of 19-year-old Sergey Kuzmin from Tver, a model with autism, whose dream of collaborating with the brand came true thanks to viral support on social networks.
The brand, inspired by Sergey’s dream, first organized an individual photo shoot for him, and then invited him to Paris, where he worked together with Vodianova. This collaboration became part of 12 Storeez’s partnership with the Naked Heart Foundation, founded by Vodianova. Sergey’s mother noted that this experience brought them closer to their dream of their son’s independence.
We didn’t believe that we were flying to Paris, even when we listened to the pilot on the plane, – said Sergey’s mother.
The photo session was conducted by the famous photographer Craig McDean, known for his work with world stars, and the stylist was Marie-Amelie Sauvé from French Vogue. Vodianova showed off items from the new collection, including trench coats and macintoshes.
Vodianova’s collaboration with 12 Storeez continues; she previously presented a capsule collection for the brand, part of the proceeds from which went to her foundation.
