Inessa Lvova: The Russian Muse on the cover of L'Officiel San Marino

      Russian actress, TV presenter of the Friday channel and professional athlete Inessa Lvova became the face of the March issue of L'Officiel San Marino. Her appearance on the cover of the iconic publication is the natural result of a unique combination of a developing career in three fields: fashion, film and television, and the world of martial arts.

      Lvova captivated the editorial staff with her unconventional story, because she began her career in modeling with professional sports. Her childhood passion for karate turned into serious boxing and MMA classes, which became an integral part of her routine. "The morning doesn't start with the dressing room, but with sparring," says L'Officiel. 

      

      It was the discipline fostered by professional sports that helped her conquer the world of high fashion. Filming for L'Officiel took place in the San Marino creative studio, where images from leading luxury brands were organically complemented with sports accessories such as a ball. The editors emphasized Lvova's philosophy: a balance between physical exertion and creative fulfillment without strict restrictions.

      "Sport teaches you to accept challenges — this quality is indispensable in the acting profession," says Inessa, who combines filming with preparation for sports competitions. 

      For the L'Officiel team, the fact has become fundamental: Lvova is one of the few models who openly talk about the difference between "glamorous fitness" and professional sports. Her call for realism in assessing physical activity is in tune with the new aesthetics of the industry, where naturalness is valued.

      The photo shoot, which was worked on by photographer Dmitry Plyusnin and makeup artist Anna Letova, highlights this contrast. Interestingly, the model Inessa Lvova styled the shoot herself, this is another of her hobbies.

       An elegant evening look in off—the-shoulder silks is juxtaposed with athletic bows, and exquisite jewelry is paired with balls.

      On the cover, Inessa is dressed as a Russian designer — a 12 storeez combination dress and a Lets Dress Boutique cape.

      The appearance of a Russian star in a publication of this level was not only a personal achievement, but also a symbol of the growing interest in athletes in the fashion world and, in general, to influencers from Russia. The cover of L'Officiel San Marino confirms that modern beauty is unthinkable without inner strength.
