From an early age, he was close to the fashion world, but he did not consider a career on the runway.
Natalia Vodianova's eldest son from her marriage to Justin Portman, Lucas Portman, celebrated his 24th birthday. To mark the occasion, the supermodel's firstborn shared rare new and archival photos on social media.
"I’m 24!" Lucas captioned the pictures, in which he poses with his brother Victor, sister Neva, and girlfriend Erin.
Lucas Portman was born in 2001 to Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova and British aristocrat Justin Portman.
He has a younger brother, Victor, and a sister, Neva. In 2011, Vodianova and Portman divorced, and three years later, the model gave birth to a son, Maxim, from billionaire heir Bernard Arnault's son, Antoine. In 2016, the couple welcomed another son, Roman. In 2020, the couple married in Paris. Lucas Portman was previously a model but is now focused on photography. He is dating a girl named Erin.
In an interview, Portman noted that he considers his mother a determined person and is grateful for everything she has taught him. His father, on the other hand, consistently inspired admiration in him with his encyclopedic knowledge. He taught his son to love nature and see beauty in everything.
Despite being close to the fashion world from an early age, Lucas did not consider a career on the runway. However, many photographers and designers wanted to collaborate with the son of a famous model. In 2019, 17-year-old Portman appeared at the Balmain show during Paris Men's Fashion Week.
The young man showcased a contrasting look, combining a silver leather jacket with a black base, complemented by white sneakers and a trendy haircut. This was the first job for which Lucas received a fee. He experienced intense emotions when he felt he was in the spotlight for a few seconds and had no room for error.
In 2020, the young man participated again in the Balmain show, but he was in no hurry to develop a modeling career. During quarantine, Natalia Vodianova's son decided to make good use of his time and started writing a book, but the attempt ended in failure.
