Sasha Pivovarova is Collage Girl in Vogue UK

Russian model Sasha Pivovarova is featured inside the new August 2008 issue of Vogue UK in a beautiful editorial entitled, “Collage Girl.” The artistic photographs by Paolo Roversi explore the relation between fashion, modeling and art. The results are simply breathtaking.

Fashion designers have recently been obsessed by the correlation between fashion and art, incorporating painting and art into their new collections and ad campaigns.

Pivovarova is well known as a Prada darling. She made fashion history by being the face of Prada in six consecutive seasons. In total, she has appeared in nine Prada ad campaigns, however, Pivovarova does not appear in Prada’s latest Fall 08 campaign, which features model Linda Evangelista instead.
