She has worked with photographers like Bruce Webber and Patrick Demarchelier and has graced the cover of Vogue, Glamor, In Style, GQ, Elle, Vanity fair, Cosmopolitan, Noise, Marie Claire, FHM and Maxim.

She was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein and is currently working with Alina Kabaeva, Vladimir Putin’s long time partner to raise the legal sex age for girls in Russia.
On this episode of Ritch in Life, Kira shares a different point of view on late friend, Jeffrey Epstein, without justifying what he did. They discuss the new rules for gymnasts at the Olympics, the fashion industry, her time on Oxygen Network's show, The Face with Naomi Campbell and her modelling career. They dive deep into her work with Alina Kabaeva to protect young girls from having sex at a young age and joke -but not really- on how Kira knows what men want and how her path intersects with everyone important there is to know.
