Nataliya Gotsiy Facts
She has frequently walked for the fashion legend Diane von Furstenburg.
She has graced the covers of top magazines including the French Elle and Italian Marie Claire.
Nataliya was famously criticized during the 2007 Guy Laroche show where she was seen on the runway in a top that revealed her rib cage and skeletal frame. The media labeled her as one of the models promoting the anorexic image that was made popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s. However, Nataliya dismissed claims of her suffering from an eating disorder and complained that her pictures had been photoshopped.
She had taken a long break from her modeling work when she had given birth to her 1st child.
