Biography

Skova was born in Saratov on July 13, 1991. She had a difficult childhood and was orphaned young. She was discovered as an actress at age 12 and for the next three years, starred in several television series.[3][4]

At 15, Skova won the modeling contest "The Beauty of the Volga", which launched her professional modeling career. She was a teen supermodel in Moscow by age 16, winning many awards such as Ms. Saratov, Ms. FHM, Ms. Fashion Style and Ms. Great Volga. The Italian modeling agency Modus signed her and Skova worked in several large projects in Italy, France, Spain, and a number of Asian countries.[5] Still in her teens, Skova also starred in several plays in Moscow, winning acting awards such as Best Theatrical Actress of Saratov, and 2009's Best Actress of Moscow Theater.

In 2011, Skova presented the photo galleries of All-Time Bar located in the center of the Russian capital with her photo shoot by photographer Ash Gupta in Spain.[5] She has since been a cover girl or been featured in Vogue, InStyle, Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ and Cosmopolitan, among others.

In 2012, she moved to the United States to continue her career as a model and actress.[3]

I did not finish neither a theatrical institute nor any other specialized institution in Russia. I started to learn here in America. It is rather hard to do this in Russia. When you don't have any education no one will even look at you.
