Art megacollector Dasha Zhukova is customarily also referred to as Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s “domestic partner,” “girlfriend” or “baby-mama.”
But a new interview reveals she’s actually Abramovich’s wife.
A WSJ. Magazine cover story on Zhukova confirms that the couple “met in
2005 and were married a few years later; they have two children.”
Zhukova — who’s commissioned Rem Koolhaas to design her museum of contemporary art in Moscow — was fêted by the magazine at a private reception during Paris haute couture fashion week on Tuesday night at the home of Lauren Santo Domingo.
Guests included Karl Lagerfeld, Anna Wintour, Naomi Campbell, Mark Ronson, Carine Roitfeld, Riccardo Tisci, Joan Smalls, Alber Elbaz, Giambattista Valli, Diego Della Valle and Natalia Vodianova and Antoine Arnault.
We hear the crowd — including fashion fixtures Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, Bianca Brandolini and Tatiana Santo Domingo — partied at the bash co-hosted by Kristina O’Neill and Derek Blasberg two hours past its scheduled finish, even after a technical glitch that cut the music.
