You know you're an established model when everyone in the fashion industry shortens your last name to just its initial. Meet Anne V.

Freckled stunner Anne Vyalitsyna was born on March 19, 1986, and discovered a decade and a half later by an IMG scout while competing for MTV's Fashionably Loud Europe in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Anne debuted in the Paris Spring 2001 show for Martine Sitbon, also walking for Roland Mouret and Sophia Kokosalaki, and has been on the rise ever since. "I've wanted to be a model ever since I was little, playing with my Barbie doll," she says.

Within six months of her first runway show she became the sole face of Chloé in 2002, signed a contract with Chanel's Chance, and modeled for Anna Molinari and Sportmax Spring ad campaigns.

Anne later starred in Alanis Morissette's music video "Out Is Through" in 2004, and by now has walked the runway for countless designers as well as appeared in many high-profile campaigns. If that weren't enough, there will always be Sports Illustrated. The Russian beauty made her SI debut in the 2005 Swimsuit edition and has been a mainstay for the last five years.

Yes, Anne V's life is certainly a dream come true, and we wouldn't wish anything less for her. We'd like to think that both of our futures are looking bright.
