Russian supermodel files $20 million lawsuit against Ralph Lauren, HBO
Anastassia Khozissova, the ex-girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius, alleged in 2004 that Ralph Lauren himself approached her to be a muse for a number of his collections—including the highly-desired book, “Diary of a Collection,” which features “intimate and breathtaking photographs.”“Ms. Khozissova’s beauty is only matched by her tremendous talent,” said Michel Botbol, Senior Vice-President and Creative Director for Ralph Lauren Corp.’s Womenwear, at the time.In 2014, the model discovered “an elaborate fraud scheme within Ralph Lauren Corp.” which resulted in her ouster at the company.
