Irena is with a Russian delegation to the festival and in her right hand she is holding an "
access all areas" pass.
Her chest is decorated with every kind of accreditation available at the festival – photographer, press, buyer, etc.
"Obviously, I don't need any of them. And I made a real nuisance of myself getting them all," she says cheerily. "Now whenever I go through security I get some funny looks."
Irena says that from now on she may choose to wear just one badge at a time, as long as it is color-coordinated with her dress that day. Taking a look at that shirt and her glasses and you know she means business.
Irena admits to being "a little eccentric."
