“In Paris, 15-year-olds didn’t dress up in Chanel”

Nowadays, the newly minted businesswoman likes to remember how she began her journey into social life.

“Until I was 18-19 years old, I visited restaurants (namely) in France only with my parents and their friends. I remember especially well how, in my teenage years, my mother was ashamed of me, since I had absolutely no understanding of the rules of etiquette. I mightn’t remember all these forks and cases a la from the movie “Pretty Woman”, where Vivienne’s snail flies away, I had enough.

In terms of appearance, I was also raised by life in a boarding school. Transition period, acne and a lot of rags from H&M. Every time I came to Moscow and attended some events, my dad blushed, seeing a ton of cosmetics and absolutely tasteless clothes. 15-year-olds did not dress up in Chanel for parties in Paris. In general, I love the film “Pretty Woman,” because I recognize myself in the main character. Now, of course, that same transformation has happened, but the inner rebellion and habits that are far from aristocratic have survived,” recalls Lisa.
