Recently, the fashionable life of Anastasia Znobina which was earlier full of photographers’ flashes become also social. Earlier the model successfully declared herself during Roma Fashion Week and managed to visit this high-profile event in the new season, becoming already an honorary guest of the event. For a record time, the girl signed exclusive contracts with fashion houses, opened and closed fashion shows, became the face of collections of the best couturiers, and also took part in filming for dozens of glossy publications.
Looking inside the four-day fashion show with a rich program, the young top model was not left without attention. Anastasia received a huge number of proposals for demonstrations of clothes images created by both young and established designers. Despite the demand of the top model, the girl did not neglect the invitations from young designers. «It’s not the name of the brand that plays a role, but rather the emotionality of the collection, its artistic design and individual handwriting. And the demonstration of these unique fashion trends, thought over to detail, gave me real pleasure», - said Anastasia.
Leaving a considerable memory in the history of Fashion Week in Rome, Anastasia never ceases to create. The model noted that she was very interested in the unique master class of fashion-guru A. Khilkevich. Where the author summarized the results of all the non-Weekly contests (so far the only ones in the world in terms of the number and geography of the participants). He also gave specific recommendations on what to do in order to achieve outstanding results when creating and presenting collections and design projects.
THE GALIA AKHMATOVA “FENOMEN”
Today we were lucky enough to communicate with the famous Russian designer Galia Akhmatova, whose posh and original outfits have already caused a stir not only in high circles, but also on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. The famous designer opened a curtain of preparation to the most exciting and anticipated event of this spring – fashion show of the new collection. How it was created, what inspired the designer and what should we expect from the show - in our interview.
Galia, good afternoon. You look great, despite the enormous workload. How do you cope with this? Open the secret of your beauty care?
Good afternoon. Thanks for the compliment. My secret is quite simple - like any modern woman I try to take care of myself. Especially because I work with celebrities and often can appear on the photos and videos. Of course it is difficult to find time for yourself when there are urgent orders or fashion show. But I do my best.
Many believe that work of fashion designer – only a pleasure and nice business ... Do you agree with this statement?
Choose a job for your soul and you won’t work a single day in your life. It’s not my idea, Confucius said this many years ago. I once read this statement and decided to implement my hobby into life. But .... Everything is not so easy. I don’t know about other designers, but I work a lot. One can say that I live at work. And it is sometimes very hard.
We are looking forward the most expected event for the Russian high society, as on the 18th March will be presentation of your new collection. Tell us about it.
If only for a moment to think about what a tremendous preparation is implemented for this important day. Everything is done for guests: plunging into atmosphere, they can feel royalty in the new collection. Moreover, there will be presented three collections to the audience- wedding, evening and children. The general concept of the show - the royal chic. There will be plenty of lush dresses, heavy fabrics and royal accessorize.
Where do you get inspiration for the collections?
My Inspiration - in people. Particularly, unusual bright personalities are interesting to me. More often, looking at fabrics, pictures of dresses appear in my mind from time to time. And without no doubt – music.
How much time did you spend on the creation of the «wonderful beauty» at this time? Did you have any difficulties?
At this time, the creation of the collection was stretched for more than a year. The fact is that I began to prepare for the show immediately after last February. But had to postpone it for an indefinite period because of my health. And only now I’m back in the ranks. I hope that my work will be appreciated.
In your understanding, how does the woman, whose chik will be highlighted by your new collection, should look like?
She is unpredictably different. But surely with the feeling of own dignity. I want that every who will wear a dress from the new collection, straight her shoulders, lift her head high and feel like a queen.
Do you have any ideas or developments to create new images?
Of course. There are thousand ideas in my mind. I don’t have enough time and efforts to implement all of them. They come in the most unexpected moments, you just have to grab a piece of paper and reproduce what you have seen. Sometimes it seems strange, but it is the real creativity.
As a great expert in the fashion world, what would you advise our readers to stay fashionable this spring?
It is certainly flattering to me. I still need more practice to be named an «expert». From myself I want to recommend a maxi length. Clothing that covers most of the woman’s body will be more and more in demand and popular. And of course more bright colors in summer.

Alena, you look great! It feels the harmony of body and soul. How do you do this?
Thank you so much. Quite simply, I enjoy my life as much as I can. I am trying to use every day with the benefit and mind. After all, time flies by in a flash, but the memories remain. We all know that youth is not eternal, and therefore we have to squeeze all the juice to make our life as bright as possible. Yoga helps me to keep mind and body in balance.
How would you define the role of woman in today’s society - a successful careerist, or, still, a housewife?
What about me, I cannot call myself a housewife and also do not want to be a careerist. I believe that wisdom women bring paradise, love, warmth and happiness in the house. Of course, you need to find an interesting work for yourself, but first and foremost, one that will bring you pleasure. Favorite activity should always be! But man brings the basic income as a head of the family.
It seems that you have everything - beauty, intelligence, grace... Do you consider yourself perfect?
Of course, every self-respecting and loving herself girl has these qualities! But I believe that there’s no limit to perfection, we have to work both spiritually and physically on ourselves all the life because getting something totally perfect, we do not seek anymore and life becomes dull, gray and useless.
There is no doubt that no matter where you are - always surrounded by attention from men, and we understand them perfectly. How do you react on the courtship of admirers?
In fact, you’re right, I am not deprived of attention from males. I accept it with great pleasure, but only from really decent men. It’s so nice to receive gifts and compliments. Men, you should know, that you are definitely an essential part of our girl’s life - giving us unique emotions, support and understanding.
Tell us about your hobbies, what do you do in your spare time?
In my spare time I like to watch interesting movies, read books about psychology and of course meet with my friends. I am a supporter of outdoor activities, and in general spending time on the fresh air. So often I run in the evening, but in the severe cold have to go to the gym. One of my hobbies - climb the mountains, and more recently to do some crazy
How much do you need to be happy?
Happiness - a topic about which you can talk forever. I do not know is it a lot or a little, but for all people it’s different. One gets true happiness when he loves, when this wonderful feeling reigns in the heart. Happiness is in simple things - when I have someone to drink tea with, sit in an embrace, to laugh. Of course, and you want to live longer. For a loved one you want to do some mad, reckless actions, which in turn add zest to life. So - yes, for me happiness is to love, full of mutual love between two hearts. Nowadays it is very rare.
What is the role of the family in your life?
Family - a shrine. The family - my closest and loved ones who have never betrayed and always helped whatever happened. I madly love them, and grateful for my life and upbringing. Of course the family for me is on the first place.
Share your secrets of beauty and personal care.
Beauty is given to us by nature, and in order to preserve and maintain it you need daily care. Particular attention I give to my hair because there were no problems with the skin of my face. But from time to time, moisturizers for the face will not prevent to each of us. But split ends or a problem with the structure of the hair – what can be worse for the girl. I save my hair using different masks and serums, balms and vitamin oils.
Do you have a secret formula, a kind of «path» to a man’s heart?
Surely you and I have heard that «the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.» So I do not agree with this. Everything is very individual, and each requires a special approach. How many men - so many preferences. As for me, you should be able to be a man’s friend, a person who always can listen, understand and will support in the next case.
Do you have a plan for the future or you prefer to live from day to day?
I prefer to live from day to day. When you build too high mountains - everything can be destroyed, because life has another plan for us. When you do not plan, but you want and believe, then everything goes like it should be. Life smiles at me, I’m probably lucky.
What can you wish to our readers?
Friends, I wish you all great happiness. Maybe not for all happiness is love. Nevertheless, I wish your happiness to find you! Believe in yourself, go after your goal and do not let something to stop you on the way to the desires.

ANTON PERMYAKOV AND "ROSE DESERT"
Anton Permyakov is a designer of clothes and computer embroidery. Designer-constructor. Collector. A pupil of fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev. He graduated the Fashion Laboratory of Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Active member of three Designer Unions: the St. Petersburg Union of Designers, the Union of Designers of Moscow and Russia. The founder of the design studio «Thread of Ariadne», which is specialized in computer embroidery and production of souvenirs. The participant of the Fashion Week «Estet Fashion Week». The founder of the fashion house «Anton Permyakov», working on the creation of women’s and men’s clothing, using the dummy method of tattoos, as the main modeling method, which allows not only to experiment with the design of clothes, to look for new shape solutions, to create unique images, but also to make a suit which will perfectly fit the figure. In addition, we offer accessories made by hand. The creator of the fashion brand «AnPer» is a special style: from aesthetics and elegance, to an avant-garde combination of not combined, complemented by embroidery and accessories, giving elegance and individuality to the suit.
The source of inspiration for the creation of a new collection of clothes models «the Desert Rose» was the interest in mineralogy. The mineral of unusual form drew special attention, the desert rose, which originates in the sand. Looking at it, Anton Permyakov decided to create a bud with «stone petals» entirely of cloth, without the use of frames and other materials. From that moment there was born an idea to create a collection of clothes with the concept of the form evolution.
In the collection all the clothes models are made by the modeling method with a non-standard design solution and were created in the walls of the fashion laboratory of Vyacheslav Zaitsev. As the main material, we used fabrics, which in their qualitative composition are close to a paper cloth. This property allowed to perform elements of clothing on the principle of Japanese art origami. Particular attention was paid to accessories, all of them are also made by the author from the fabric by hand and imitate the form of the mineral amazing beauty.
With the help of color solutions, the designer sends the consciousness of the audience to the endless expanses of the desert, creating a special atmosphere, because the whole collection is in one range: stone gray, dark denim, khaki, sand-beige.
Proud and independent, but in one time so elegant and inviting – looks like a girl from Anton Permyakov.
Creating this collection, first of all, the author emphasized the realization of his idea and the timeless nature of the clothing models. It turned out to be unlike any of the well-known styles, which allows you to refer it to the section of alternative clothing, or, so-called, «out of time» clothing. This means that the dress or skirt, will never go out of fashion and will always emphasize the originality of the character of its happy owner, the individuality of her own style.
The collection was awarded with prizes and leading places in such fashion projects as: «High Fashion Show» in Moscow, «Volga Fashion Week» in Nizhny Novgorod, Povolzhsky seasons of Alexander Vasiliev in Samara, «European Fashion Union» in Budapest. So, as a reward for the victory in one of the competitions, «Rose of the Desert» was invited to the XII autumn season of the fashion week «Estet Fashion Week», held traditionally on the place of the Estet jewelry house in Moscow. Representatives of the «Roma Fashion Week» in Russia also invited me to demonstrate «Rose of the Desert» for the fashion week in Italy in the spring of 2017. By this time I plan to expand the collection, increasing the number of looks, supplement it with female and male models.
«I think I managed to achieve the task and convey the idea of mineral development, its versatility, unusual shape and rare beauty», says Anton Permyakov. «I was so fond of working with Desert Rose, that I’m not ready to just take and say goodbye to this collection. It was only the first stage in the realization of my idea. I plan to make a smooth transition from the story of the birth of the stone, to the next collection, which will tell about the appearance of the first life on earth. From the evolution of form - to the evolution of life».

DR. ZONOVA. THINITY OF AESTHETIC MEDICINE
Trends in recent decades have made women more attentive to their appearance. Health and beauty have always been a reflection of a person’s success. But now it’s not enough to be beautiful, we strive to have an ideal appearance. In fact, these are fully realized dreams that the doctor of aesthetic medicine - Katerina Zonova is ready to fulfill. She knows how with the help of magic to give beauty and youth to women. This is so easy to verify, because the result of happy patients is obvious, or rather on the face!
What can be more beautiful than the smiles and gratitude of the customers who want to come back again and again. In what the girl cannot refuse them and with joy opens the doors of her new clinic, which is located in the heart of the capital. She managed to unite in her team the best professionals who are ready to provide high-quality services of injecting and classical cosmetology. But Katerina just cannot stay away, and besides the management, she pays attention to each visitor and herself «puts her hand» to the process. As a true professional, she knows how important is it to constantly improve her skills. After all, drugs and techniques of the new generation require a qualitatively new approach, their effectiveness depends on the professionalism and skills of the doctor. Therefore, every month Katerina visits international congresses - studies and inspires. After all, when you are doing what you love, there is no limit to perfection!
Katerina, which are the most popular procedures that are required by clients?
I am engaged in infectious procedures, that is why, of course, people come for new puffy lips. Also noticed that recently more and more girls and women want to improve the condition and quality of the skin, this trend cannot but rejoice! We, in turn, make every effort to give the patient the maximum stable result.
What should a girl know when she has decided to enlarge her lips?
The most important advice: you need to choose a doctor that you like and trust. Undoubtedly, I take into account the wishes of the patient, I try to understand as much as possible what result he wants to achieve, so that the expectations coincide with reality. But if the doctor says that you no longer need it, because it will not be aesthetic, or that the desired result cannot be achieved because of the anatomical structure, it is worth of listening. Now every specialist has a website or a page in the social network, where you can see the «portfolio» of the doctor and make the right choice.
Many people are stopped by the risk of contour plastics procedures, does such a thing exist?
There are contraindications and possible complications. Among the contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases and so on, we certainly clarify the patient’s medical history and health before the procedure. A complication can be a lot - ranging from large hematomas to inflammatory reductions, but they are very easy to prevent if you follow the technique of reference, use a high-quality drug, properly prepare the patient for the procedure and inform him about how rehabilitation is going. Therefore, I urge all girls to choose only a qualified specialist, necessarily with a medical background and never try to save on their beauty and health!
