Marina was born in Russia, lived in Amsterdam and Paris for a few years and now in the UK. When living in Holland she extendedly worked for Dutch couture designers as Frans Molenaar, Frank Govers, Edgar Vos, and Mart Visser. When she was living in Paris she walked the runway for major designers including YSL and Dior. She did beauty campaigns for L’Oréal and Caudalie and also worked with Eddy Kohli for French Elle magazine in the '90s, and fronted numerous TV commercials.

Marina had a break from modeling in her thirties and set up her own fashion brand as she is educated in Fashion design and photography. The brand was exclusive to a handful of nice boutiques and got some lovely publicity by American Elle. However, after the birth of her second child, motherhood had to take over. She closed her company and joined a newly formed classic division at an agency in London. Since then she has earned respect from a number of fashion brands around the world and collaborate with them on a regular basis.

She is known for her strong work ethic, professionalism and considers herself a good team player!
