Korshunova has appeared as cover girl on editions of French Elle and Russian Vogue, as well as in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Vera Wang and Christian Dior. It would appear that a love lost was the reason for Korshunova's being despondent. Quoting poetry she'd placed on the Web, it seemed that matters of the heart served as the central theme to all her writing.

"Do not confuse love and desire," she posted May 30. "Love is the sun, desire – only flash. Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life."
