Who is Mila and what the film is about?
The Last Empress of Fashion is a feature about one of the most unique and amazing women on Earth - MILA ANUFRIEVA, who was born into a poor family but built a $250M luxury fashion empire, defeated stage III cancer, evaded the KGB plans to jail her via fake accusations and get rid of her, fled her homeland for Italy where she became the first Russian woman in history elected as the official ambassador of Made In Italy. Now Mila spends all her time and money raising over 800 orphaned children in Guinea-Bissau (Africa): builds them a home, a school, provides all the supplies and gives them the love they need to have a brilliant future.
