Plucked from a classroom in Kazakhstan at just fifteen, Ruslana Korshunova became one of the most sought after faces in the world, walking for Dior and Vera Wang and starring in the Nina Ricci campaign that made her famous everywhere. It looked like a fairy tale come true. But behind the flawless image was a young woman far from home, carrying a weight almost no one around her understood. This is the story of Ruslana Korshunova. A gifted, sheltered girl who spoke four languages and wrote poetry, whose dream was never the runway. The dizzying rise, the crushing pressures of the modeling industry, the heartbreak, the shadowy group she became entangled with, and the questions surrounding her death at just twenty years old that her own mother refused to accept. This is the real story behind the fairy tale, and the price this young woman paid for it. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to someone you trust, or a support line in your country. No one should carry that kind of weight alone. New story every other day. Turn off the lights, and step inside the house. #RuslanaKorshunova #Supermodel #RussianRapunzel #DarkStory #TrueStory #Documentary #FashionIndustry
