They later moved to Los Angeles, California. By the time Yelena retired, she was a professor of molecular biology at UCLA, as well as an authority on diabetes.
Zhukova attended a Jewish day-school in California. It was a Hebrew college, Dasha's first school in the US, and she attended it for three years. She attended Pacific Hills School, graduating in 1999. She graduated with honors from the University of California, Santa Barbara with degrees in Slavic studies and literature. After becoming involved with Roman Abramovich, she returned to Moscow and later moved to London, where she enrolled at the London's College of Naturopathic Medicine but did not complete the program. In 2006, Zhukova co-founded the fashion label Kova & T. She currently sits on the boards for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Shed. In 2008, Zhukova founded the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture (part-funded by Abramovich ) in Moscow, a nonprofit organization supporting the advancement of contemporary art and culture in Russia and abroad. In 2012, the center launched the first comprehensive art education program and public archive of Russian art in the country. In 2014, the institution changed its name to Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and, the following year, moved to its first permanent home in Gorky Park. The building, designed by Rem Koolhaas, is a preservation project that transformed a 1968 Soviet Modernist restaurant into a radical space for exhibitions, publishing, research, and education. In February 2009, Zhukova was appointed editor-in-chief of the fashion magazine Pop.
Many in the industry saw her as an unlikely replacement for launch editor Katie Grand.
