Reuter сообщает: NEW YORK — A European Vogue cover model fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment building Saturday in an apparent suicide, published reports said.

Ruslana Korshunova, 20, died around 2:30 p.m. in a fall from a building on Water Street, in Manhattan’s Financial District, The New York Post, the Daily News and Newsday reported. The newspapers cited unnamed officials and police.

Originally from the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, the almond-eyed, flowing-haired Korshunova appeared in advertisements and on runways for such designers as Marc Jacobs, Nina Ricci and DKNY. British Vogue hailed her as «a face to be excited about» in 2005.

Her break came when modeling booker Debbie Jones noticed her while perusing an in-flight magazine article about Korushnova’s hometown of Almaty, according to the Vogue report.

«She looked like something out of a fairytale!» Jones told the magazine. «We had to find her and we searched high and low until we did!»

Руслана родилась в Алма-Ате, 2 июля 1987 года. В модельном бизнесе начала работатьв 2003 году. В 2005 ее назвали одним из главных открытий Нью-йоркской недели моды. К 2008 году Коршунова приняла участие в рекламных компаниях DKNY, Christian Dior и Nina Ricci, а также появилась на обложках французского выпуска журнала Elle и российского Vogue.
