[edit] The Entrepreneur

a business professional and top fashion model originally born in Russia and currently the owner of fashion production company Polina Fashion. Polina started the company in April of 2006 and has been running it full force since. She has produced countless fashion shows all over the United States and plans to expand internationally.

As of 2008, she chose to start a new company centered around experiential marketing called EventVolution, which focuses is to create campaigns which play on the human senses of touch, smell, taste, sight and sound and create environments which stimulate those senses in a positive way while associating the experience with a certain brand. Needless to say, EventVolution focuses on live event marketing but also on nightlife.

Having attended Babson College, she follows in the footsteps of their entrepreneurial tradition. Nevertheless, she certainly blazes her own path and has often been cited as a role model for empowering future generations of female entrepreneurs.

[edit] National Press

Recently recognized in BusinessWeek's "America's Best Young Entrepreneurs 2007", Polina's business prowess as well as her mark on the fashion industry are gaining increasing recognition. As was leaked in BusinessWeek, Polina is "planning a major event that she claims could shake up the fashion industry". Unfortunately, no further details exist as of yet as to what this event will entail, though obviously this seems to be more than 'just a rumor'.
