MODEL NATALIA KURCHANINA FOR THE MODNY DOM MAGAZINE
Natalia Kurchanina - is the standard beauty of the large-scale competition «Moscow Beauty», who was chosen from thousands of applicants, eager to «try on» such a cherished title. Earlier, the supermodel joined the ranks of one of the leading modeling agencies and the result did not take long to wait. MODNY DOM met with one of the most successful and discussed models of our time to find out the secret of her success.
Natalia, today you are a successful model. How did you get into the modeling business?
Since my childhood I was a very artistic and impressionable child, I always dreamed of singing on stage and flaunting myself in the pages of fashionable glossy publications. My first time in model agency was thanks to my mother. I graduated from the model school at the age of 13, but nothing happened ... At that time I spent a lot of time studying, and decided that I want to connect my life with the jurisprudence. When I was 17 years old, I received a personal message in social networks from a well-known photographer, where he offered me shooting on tfp terms. The process of shooting was very exciting, and the result exceeded all my expectations! I decided to try again myself in the modeling business, because at that time my appearance and parameters corresponded all the requirements of modeling. I sent photos to several modeling agencies, went to interviews, the result - positive answers almost everywhere! So that was the beginning of my modeling career ... castings, shows, shootings.
What do you think determine the success of the model? One should be born, or become?
Success depends only on you and no one else. If you really want something, you need to work hard on this for a long time, until you reach your goal! Learn to accept falls and view them as a new chance to fly, never give up, improve in your business, invest 100% of your potential in your own self-development. The whole point of success, it seems to me, is to find yourself through deals that you really love. What is more, to be and remain a good person! Without this, everything becomes meaningless. And about the modeling, I want to tell the girls who are now taking their first steps in this difficult business: models are not born - they become. You have to be strong, efficient and creative. This model is not just a beautiful picture - it’s charisma in the photo, it’s a whole story, it’s a life, imprinted in one frame, which should inspire and make people feel.
How did your parents react to this choice?
I have full understanding with my parents, they support me in any beginnings, they know that if I have chosen something for myself, I will not give up and will achieve my goal. My family is proud of me and happy to share my success.
Few, even successful models, can afford to participate in beauty contests? What was your motivation to participate in «beauty-competitions»?
As I had already mentioned, I do not set boundaries or limits for development in the fashion industry. One of the sphere that I decided to try were beauty contests. They are quite different from modeling, it is a set of qualities that you need to demonstrate. It is a nice way to check yourself and your abilities for strength.
Which of the last projects have you remembered the most?
One of the last large-scale, and I would even say pompous projects, was shooting on the cover of the wedding magazine. Thanks to the cohesion of the team, work for 8 hours was not noticeable at all, and the result exceeded all our expectations.
The famous contest «Moscow Beauty» - a major event of the capital, which part had become you, too. What was the purpose of participating in this event?
It was, something new, unknown to me. Previously, I watched similar events only on the screen, and now I take part in them by myself. Preparation, the atmosphere of the competition, a little excitement is so exciting and I want to plunge into this environment again. I did not have a goal to become a «Moscow Beauty», but I won another nomination, which gives an opportunity to participate in the next beauty contest. I also want to note that at the contest I met wonderful people with whom I continue to communicate further and, most importantly, to cooperate.
Do you plan further developing in this direction? In which competitions do you want to take part?
Now, already having experience of participation in beauty contests and having formed a «complete list» of my goals and desires, I can afford to choose interesting events for me. The next stage is obvious - participation in the international beauty contest, as well as in large-scale Moscow. But this time, I’m determined only to win.
Do you have certain rules of life, the so-called principles? Are you more of a person of the case, or still a strategist?
I have an important rule: «Live in the real world»! To look at life with sober eyes, - magic genies that fulfill our desires, does not exist! Therefore, all the desires that we have, we achieve ourselves! Coming out of these words, you probably already understood that I treat myself more to the strategist, but the case definitely has some magical power. The case is a word familiar to us, however, not fully clear. The case can, for example, open the long-awaited veil of secrecy. Or maybe it’s cool to change this or that situation, or the person’s views on what is happening. But the strongest influence of the case we can find in changings of fate.
Honestly, you can be easily compared with the Hollywood celebrity, blond, well-groomed curls, trebling in the wind ... Do you often get attention from strangers?
From a quiet young age I travel a lot - «the cost of the profession» (laughs) and have really a lot of attention and I’m used to it. Of course, I’m very pleased to catch the admiring glances of strangers.
Tell us about your future plans?
Live with the flow - this is certainly a good plan, but to be left to the mercy of fate would be too light-mindedly. Therefore, in my head, I definitely plan my future events. And here is a small chain for my next 5 years: to get a diploma (by the way, I’m thinking about the second higher education), to open my business (maybe it will be a restaurant or a clothing line, maybe a beauty studio), meet a future husband, have kids.
SHELBY: BEGINNING OF THE GREAT
Did you see this young girl?
Keep an advice to remember her name, because her first single «Star of the Instagram» will be sound at the all radio stations and video movie will be at the all TV shows of the country. The perspective start singer Shelby is more bright at her activity than at the photoes, and soon you will make sure due to it!
M.D.: Hello, tell us about yourself, what has become such a «grain» for the beginning of your variety career? Who gave you the first steps in this area?
Sh.: Hello, I come from the small town of Slavutich. From the very childhood I visited all possible courses and went to contests and festivals. It is quite possible, because city is small. I danced, drew, studied acting, went to the piano school of arts, went to additional school lessons, organized holidays and even was a deputy of the city youth council. In high school I entered the Lyceum of the Humanities Department. And of course vocals - it became the meaning of life. Over time, I decided that the knowledge of creativity that was given in our city was not enough for me. Every weekend for 2 years I went to Chernigov for vocal classes, acting and to the gym.
M.D.: What about friends? Did your parents support this idea?
Sh.: I missed the birthdays of friends and relatives, various other holidays, chose to go for a walk or better to work out. Then I already knew that I need to make prioritize. My parents always supported me, no matter how hard it was, financially and morally. But they were the biggest critics. Each performance they shot on video, and we came and discussed for 2 hours where something is wrong. I used to be very upset, but now I’m very grateful for that.

M.D.: What was it like to move to Kiev, with what difficulties have you faced?
Sh.: Kiev is a noisy city, a different rhythm of life, long distances, from which it appears that you spend almost half a day on roads. And, of course, the most difficult was to take adult decisions although I was an independent child. A month after the move, I called my mom in tears and said that I just want to hug her. I came across, probably all the difficulties which arrivals have.
M.D.: Your first song is going to be released soon, tell a little about it? What do you expect from its release?
Sh.: The song is called «Star Instagram». The author was Nikita Lomakin, and the sound produces was Vladislav Darwin. Now every girl, no worse than Sherlock, search for the social network of her boyfriend. And sometimes it’s not in vain. Here’s a little teaser for my song. In general, be true, trust each other and love. This song will be the beginning of the artist «Shelby», after it we will understand how people react to my art and me, whether it works or maybe something need to be changed ..
M.D.: Do you think it is relevant for our young people? Do you plan to make a video?
Sh.: The song is relevant with the theme and of course dance music, which is now very much in demand. We do not plan a clip yet. We will do the lyric and prepare another track, and we’ll see then.
M.D.: How are you planning to surprise and what are your goals?
Sh.: I will be myself and I hope people like it. Nowadays, people have seen everything that can be seen and to surprise almost impossible. It seems to me to cause surprise sincerity, and an attempt to be myself. Now my goal is to hit the song to the play lists of the youth of today, and of course it would be nice to get on the radio, but I think with the first song - it will be difficult. I do not expect that everyone will love me at once, I’m sharing what I like, what I adore , what I’m real, and I hope others will like it. I love the scene, this unreal power, drive.
BEATRIS MALAKHOVA. VIOLET, PURPLE, GOLD
Is always, autumn has become unexpectedly. But it’s not time to indulge in the autumn discouragement. The golden tan on the body, still warm with affectionate summer sun, eloquently testifies to the fantastically spent holiday, the memories of all its charms make the heart beat faster and the lips involuntarily blur with a smile ...
Whether it will be in the autumn! The fashionable calendar of September is full of large-scale events, which simply impossible to miss, being devoted to His Majesty the Style with body and soul. The fashionable marathon of the «big four» starts On September 7. As always, with fashion shows in New York. Fashion Week Spring / Summer 2018 will present to the spectators new collections from Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Alexander Wang, Oscar de la Renta, Victoria Beckham, Anna Sui and other fashion legislators. Then the brilliant show of the world of fashion industry will move to the capital of avant-garde fashion Foggy Albion, where displays of Emporio Armani, Burberry and other famous Houses will take place. Incredibly happy Milan: a fashion show from such masters as Missoni, Jil Sander, Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Versace, Marni, Trussardi, surely will impress our imagination and this time. The apotheosis of the fashionable autumn will be the Fashion Week in Paris, where collections from the future will be demonstrated by Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Kenzo, Nina Ricci, Elie Saab ...
Having learned that the future is preparing for us, it is useful to plunge into the past, where contemporary designers are accustomed to draw inspiration. To get acquainted with the 70-year history of the legendary House Dior, once again to admire the power and magnitude of the talent Christian Dior can be in the museum of Queen Victoria in Melbourne, where on August 27, opened a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the anniversary of the French brand. In an invaluable exposition 140 items of Haute Couture are presented by the hand of the master and his successors.
Another famous Fashion House - Balenciaga - this year turned 80 years old.

Until then, we remain in the autumn-winter trend: we dress from head to foot in white, we choose clothes with animalistic prints, we fall in love with expressive «cell», universal glossy vinyl or good old corduroy, we sport in wide trousers of different styles and colors and, of course, we replenish the wardrobe with warm things of autumn colors: scarlet, green, mustard, yellow ... In the rich autumn palette - an amazing choice of colors for the brightest and most non-canvass paintings.

SABINA KUDRYAVTSEVA. 10 YEARS IN BUSINESS
Sabina Kudryavtseva is certainly a talented and successful entrepreneur.
From the age of 14 she was having the idea of her project - a boutique of women’s clothing. And now she is the owner of a luxurious women’s space, where every fashionista can find something that she will like. Exclusively for MODNY DOM Magazine, Sabina told about her boutique where her unique quilts are awaited for their queen, impregnated with elegance, exquisite style and boldness, because according to the girl, clothes are «our second skin, it should be sexy and alluring».

KATYA DISNEY – MEGASTAR!
Her interview is the record for expressive «Ooooooh», «Oh», «Ofiget», «Laughs» and «Super!». The constant guest of our editorial office that we already have thoughts to write her down in the staff of the magazine. It is so bright, spontaneous, extraterrestrial. Such people are very rare. There is SHE, and she is, and ask to love and to pay, because for her it is comfortable to live without a mask! And, dammit, she can afford it! Because she is a star, there is no doubts!
MD: Katya, good afternoon. All summer you worked hard. It’s autumn now, and you still have not a free minute, life «beats the key». Tell us, which project are you working on now?
KD: Hello to all the readers of the MODNY DOM! Hmm... I have a lot of projects, but (!), the most important project for me, to which all my regular time goes, is my own project called Katya Disney. Together with the team, we create a new trend in music. It is clearly expressed in the style of performance and in submission. The process itself is quite laborious, I do not want to «stamp» what exists in the music world, because we try to work out every detail again. And that’s why the terms are sometimes shifted.
MD: As one of the country’s most experienced music experts, the person of the BLACK STAR label, can you predict how bright will be the new project of Timati and Max Fadeev called «Songs» on TNT?
KD: What do you think (laughs)? I do not think it’s necessary to be a professional music expert in order to predict the highest evaluation of this project. Producers who gave the country (and the world) such big names as Linda, «Serebro», Elena Temnikova, Julia Savicheva, Glukoza, Nargiz, Egor Chrid, L -one, Mot, Nathan, known for their cooperation with Pugacheva, Lolita, Leps, Kirkorov ... and, this list can be continued indefinitely. We are creating a new show business! We have already selected the participants of the project and very soon a new music show will start on TNT’s TV channel, the level of which is off scale, so believe me!
MD: Is your main task on the project «Songs» - working with the participants as a musician, or more as a choreographer?
KD: On the «Songs» project, my functions were initially associated with the selection of participants. I am one of the curators of the project and I work in the team of Timati. My main goal is to help an ordinary person become a real artist, and one vocal is not enough here. Acting skills, choreography, voice control, selection of repertoire, style... I help create artists! People always smile next to me and I am already a «talisman» on projects that charges with positive, gives charisma and gives the right setting for working on oneself and development. So please contact if you decide to become a star too (laughs).
MD: You have serious work load on television, that was one of the reasons to shift the shooting of Katya Disney’s debut video. How did you react to this and how do you plan to build a personal work schedule?
KD: To be honest, here it all came to ridiculous ... I’m a perfectionist person, and naturally, both to others and to myself, I’m «Sooo» demanding. That’s why, if I do not like some moment, we necessarily either modify it, or change it, or even remove it altogether. Exactly the same goes for the people I select for my team. Participants in the team for the project Katya Disney, I did not type for the sake of quantity and not in order to do it all in a faster way. After all, these people should not only work, but also live in the style that I need. They must be cosmic, spiritual and «torn off» at the same time ... And in order to reveal a person in this aspect, time is needed. In my project, I do not want any «superfluous passenger». I’m soft for the time being, but when I do not like something, either the person fixes it in himself, or I say goodbye to him. I’m sorry, but these are the rules of show business. As for my debut video, only the script changed three times, hence the timing shift. I’m punctual in life and with this I have no problems. But I do not just want to start my first job ... I want to make sure everyone says Wow! Do you understand? It’s no secret to anyone that I’m working in terminator mode (laughs), but I still have to plan the schedule. Speaking of the near future, it is: the «Songs» TV project, work with my favorite artists from the label Black Star, recording my third song and, of course, for all the long-awaited shooting of my debut video. In breaks are planned to travel to Europe, with a stop at Disneyland (laughs).
MD: In the previous issue, you told us that Katya Disney is equally sincere and direct in life and on the screen, and this is your main secret of success both in career and in your personal life. And is there a certain set of professional skills with which you are currently at the top positions in the media business?
KD: In order to be on top in any field, the set of skills is standard enough. In our case, and personally in my case, I cannot say today that I’m «doing work» ... This is my way of life, style, if you want ... That’s why I do not have days off, there is no clear schedule. I live by music, I live by what I create and what I present to the masses. The main thing for me is sincerity and spontaneity. When you love your job and live it, sooner or later you will achieve heights. It’s only a matter of time. I’ll tell you one more secret: my colleagues call me strange (in a good way), because I’m constantly guided by feelings. I feel like I should write this down, I feel that this person should not work with us, I feel that I will soon get married (laughs), I feel that tomorrow will be a good day for recording a new song, I feel that my album is the success of the last decade!
MD: What is the scale of development you set for yourself? For example, will Katya Disney in ten years collect world stadiums?
KD: Oooh! I was waiting for this question (laughs). Naturally, I plan to conquer this world, and so that my words do not sound too loud, I will reveal to you a little secret. Initially, my project was to be launched in the states, but because of the banal refusal of the visa, everything changed radically, so in order to start the process, of course, I started in Russia, then it will be the countries of the near abroad, Europe, America, Africa, islands (laughs). In fact, no matter where to start your journey, it is important how exactly you start it, because all people on the planet, speak different languages, can understand only one language - the language of music- unconditionally. Stadiums - not an indicator for me and not a goal, because today you can build a stadium, and tomorrow they will forget about you. My main goal is to leave a trace in the history of music. In my opinion, this is better than all the stadiums in the world.
MD: By the way, about personal ... Is there a place, and most importantly, the time in life so strong, daring and strong-willed Katya Orlova for amorous affairs? And the main thing... What is he, a guy worthy of your choice?
KD: The place is vacant (laughs). And if it’s serious, now I’m free again. There is also a desire for the same, but there is absolutely no time to even go to a date. The man now grinded (sad sighs). I have quite high requirements for the applicant for the society, but quite simple for me. I will say only one thing: my chosen one must necessarily be a person of business (and only then words), charismatic, with sense of humor, necessarily self-sufficient, who can earn good money (yes, for me this is an indicator of the mind of a man), be sure to support me, after all, my goals, as you understand, are global, and for nothing in the world (!) not educate. For this, there are children, dogs if you want, BUT NOT me. He must love sports, travel and dogs. He must «smell» of masculinity and wisdom. I dream to meet a man, whom I will look at as God! The truth (by the way, only now understood), I dream to meet a man similar to my daddy, after all, listed all those qualities that he possesses... But in my life there was banal love, a standard marriage and passing passengers. But I know that somewhere on the planet my person walks and we will definitely meet. I feel that soon (laughs).
MD: I know that you are connected with your mother with a particularly trembling relationship. Tell about it.
KD: Ooooh ... My answer is this: I love my mother so much, until trembling, until I cry, to catch my breath. First of all, we are her best friends. With Mom, we always have something to talk about, we joke a lot, she knows everything about my life! We conduct a joint cultural life in the form of campaigns in the theater, at musicals, exhibitions, movies ... Sometimes we travel together ... My mother is familiar with all my close friends and colleagues, and this is cool! In adolescence, I was not a gift, and apparently now, at the subconscious level, I fill this cup ... And you want, so: Mother is my talisman and the main critic. We live in different countries, but we keep in touch and communicate absolutely every day. After all, only when you get older, you begin to understand the real value of family and family relationships.
MD: Your energy is huge! Where is the «mini power station Katya DISNEY buried»?
KD: Do you feel it too? Super! Then I will say so ... My energy comes from love! It’s simple: I’m filled with love for myself first of all, for life, for what I do in music, what I express in my work, in love with people I talk to, animals, nature ... I do not like to «negate» completely devoid of feelings of envy, anger, fear, hatred, and more recently, a sense of jealousy (laughs). After all, this is what destroys people. I think so: we have the right to create our own world, do not like it - do not communicate, do not want - do not do it, it irritates you - do not look. I do not have time to even think about the bad, because the first thoughts of my free moments are thoughts about my favorite dog, sleep and food (laughs). After communicating with me, people are always nice and easy, and it’s a fact! They smile and laugh. Some even leave my life and then they still understand it. With firm confidence I can say about myself that I am a good person and such people as I unfortunately are not enough. Therefore, very often, despite the scope of my activities, I still prefer solitude, or the society of «my» people. And yet, the childhood in which I am still, and which, I hope, will never end. I enjoy the present, because I have understood for a long time that everything in life is timely. I believe in karma, I do not do bad to people and I smile even when the world collapses (laughs). And even my guardian angels are not like everyone else, but with a share of insanity, but that’s another story …
MARIA MIRONOVA ABOUT THE Miss Russian Cyprus
Demanded and popular today, supermodel Maria Mironova woke up famous after her great victory at the Miss Russia Cyprus international competition. In addition to implementation in the modeling business, she was able to open her creative potential in another industry, because soon Maria will present her first collection of evening dresses. The girl shared these on the pages of MODNY DOM MAGAZINE.
M.D.: Maria, what emotions did you feel after winning the Miss Russian Cyprus competition?
M.M.: Of course, I was happy to receive the title Miss Russian Cyprus, to be honest, I was even ready to cry with happiness, especially since this victory was given to me with great difficulty and emotions, because on the final day, my creative number was disrupted. I had to perform an acrobatic performance on the ring, and because of concern for my safety, it was almost canceled, I had a great stress and terribly worried, but thank God everything worked out, we managed to agree with the owner of the casino and I was allowed to make it.
M.D.: Have you become a hostage of your appearance?
M.M.: Unfortunately, yes, and for 21 years now I live with this. Being beautiful is very difficult! I think now many beautiful girls will understand me. In fact, the beauty given by nature is not only a huge gift, but also a great trial! I used to active attention from the side of men, but the hateful glances of women still frighten me. Unfortunately, yes, I became a hostage of my beauty and often notice that it is difficult for people to communicate with me, to talk about some serious things and business, because they are often distracted from the conversation, focusing on my face or figure. Frankly, I’m so pleased with the active attention of others, but I’m a little tired of switching this attention from my appearance to those things that I’m talking about.
M.D.: Maria, is it really true that you run away from your fiance. What was the final stroke for the escape?
M.M.: Any girl or woman wants to see a strong, successful, realized man near her. When my man stopped developing - I felt it and my interest toward him disappeared. But this is only one of the reasons. The second is that at that time I was not ready for a serious relationship and especially for a wedding, for me it’s a huge step - to link my life with another person, my attitude to marriage is very serious, it should be a decent man, and an alliance for life ... I was not sure of the person for whom I was going to get married.
M.D.: Model and designer in one person - you are talented in many spheres. And what do you think you are doing the best?
M.M.: I believe that any case will go well, if you take it seriously, and doing it – giving your soul. Actually, working as a model and creating a collection of evening dresses are not all my interests, now I enjoy these things, later I would probably like to try myself as a TV presenter, maybe work in the sphere of show business.
M.D.: How many victories have been on your way of life?
M.M.: One of my last victories is the title of Miss Russian Cyprus Competition, I already mentioned it above. This is an international format contest, in which more than 25 girls from different cities of Russia and the Peninsula of Cyprus took part.
M.D.: Maria, tell us more about your collection, what is its peculiarity and what price segment do you plan to make?
M.M.: The peculiarity of these outfits is that I put my Soul and a piece of myself into every model I create, trying to make things that are not amenable to changeable fashion, I want my dresses to be relevant at all times. The dresses that we create are made of exclusively high-quality expensive Italian fabrics using luxury processing technology. In addition, the number of dresses of one model is limited, each model will be sewn exclusively in three copies. Such things cannot cost cheap, of course the price will be high, but justified.
M.D.: How do you manage to keep yourself in shape? Do you exercise or prefer a diet?
M.M.: Recently, I try to follow my diet and include in my diet many vegetables, fruits and simple food. Also, I regularly visit the gym, and of course, intensive classes at the dance school help me to be always in shape.
ANNA ZHURINA. THE GOLD BEAUTY
In important matter, such as interior design, better to trust to the real professional, a person who can easily organize coziness and harmony in your home. Modny Dom Magazine in the rating of the MOST BEAUTIFUL AND SUCCESSFUL represents a girl whose expertise in the field of design and decoration of living spaces can and should be trusted - Anna Zhurina. Engineer-architect and designer, fashion designer in combination - she is a professional of the highest standard. Today her name can be heard everywhere, and she did not get fame just like that ... Years of hard work - and the girl was used to work conscientiously, which gave her an impeccable reputation. Let’s ask Anna how she chose profession for herself, which eventually became a favorite work.
M.D.: Why did you choose this profession?
A.Zh.: I always liked painting, drawing, create various interiors, in a word, I wanted to make something new. In the university, I completely immersed myself in the creative process, which gave me space for thoughts, ideas and new knowledge. And from this I received and receive to this day a great pleasure. It’s so important when you do what you love.
M.D.: You are rapidly and successfully developing in the modeling area - confirmation to this your numerous awards and titles from the various beauty contests. Tell us more about this.
A.Zh.: It all started with a hobby, when I decided to diversify my life and try myself in something new. This is quite a creative profession, allowing you to give vent to fantasies in images for shooting. Over time, more projects and proposals began to appear, and I decided to take part in the beauty contest, which in that time became very decisive for me. On my account, participation in competitions: Miss Universitet 2011, Miss Angels 2012, in the project «Top Model in Our. Ryazan 2012», «Image for 5», was a finalist of the All-Russian Beauty Contest «Russian Beauty 2012». Now I’m taking part in the international contest Miss Dukascopy, which has been held in Switzerland for several years, and I plan not only to enter the top 10 in the contest, but also to win, because I believe that I have all the chances. It’s a contest for those who want to show themselves, their abilities, talent and skills of network communication.
NADEZHDA KIRINA. MOST SEXUAL MODEL 2017
If you follow the chronology of the issue of our publication, then you can easily recognize this burning brunette. Recent time Kirina Nadegda appeared in the rank of the sexiest models according to the magazine MODNY DOM. However, this does not prevent, but rather helps a popular model to sign contracts and take part in projects of various kinds. About the life of the model, the secrets of the ideal figure and other things Nadegda told in an exclusive interview.
M.D.: You are a famous fashion model who placed the top ratings of the «sexiest» and the most popular. How did you find yourself in this industry?
N.K.: The best decision to change the life that I was able to accept - the decision to live every moment of my life in its entirety. Once, by chance, I discovered a model sphere for myself, and then I wondered if this is the thing I like to do, and what I can really do for my best.
M.D.: How does publicity and recognizability affect your life?
N.K.: For me, publicity is not at all a way to be steeper and better than others, but on the contrary - a huge incentive to be better than I was «yesterday». Success drives us, and it’s an irreversible process. The point is how you feel about it.
M.D.: In your opinion, is your success only a luck, a gift of fate or still your hard work?
N.K.:I would not have achieved what I have now, if I had not tried again and again. Failures and falls - maybe are not the shortest, but definitely the most reliable way to success. The first shooting did not justify itself: if the photographers took the result, then I realized that I was able for more. Many girls give up a modeling career, without starting it, because it seems that posing in front of the camera is easy. I get rid of this problem, having managed to demonstrate myself «in the best possible way» in front of the cameras. For me, shooting is a whole art. Therefore hard work is the key to my success.
M.D.: They say «we are what we eat». What are your preferences, do you limit yourself to certain products?
N.K.: Sometimes it seems to me that there is blood of the most «hot» nationalities in me. I love Italian cuisine, eating pasta with an exquisite sauce and finishing the dinner with light wine - I imagine myself as an imposing Italian at the fiesta. For breakfast, you can find me in Paris, where I am a refined Frenchwoman with a cup of excellent coffee and a croissant. Well, in the evening I, perhaps, will drink tea and leave you without saying goodbye. In a word, dolce vita is about me.
M.D.: Daily photo-shoots and projects cannot be reflected on your appearance, for the model it is especially important. How are you saved from negative effects of tiredness?
N.K.: The negative side of my profession is that my «tool» is my face. Care for it is absolutely essential for me. Of course, I prefer to trust the most expensive to the specialists in their field. But sometimes even this does not always work out for the time. I am guided by simple rules - I drink a lot of liquid during the day, I wipe the face with ice cubes in the morning, and moisten well before going to bed.
M.D.: The title «the sexiest» speaks for itself! Is your body the result of hard training or is it still good genetics?
N.K.: The features of a good figure were laid in me genetically. But there is no limit to perfection. I am for a healthy lifestyle and sport, no diets exhausting the body. After all, training is not only a pledge of a beautiful figure, it is a wonderful feeling and tone of your body.
M.D.: Is there a place where would you always like to return?
N.K.: You will not believe it, but this is my home. There is nothing more pleasant to return to the place where you are expected, where peace and comfort. The life of the model is sometimes frequent travel, and you need to be ready for this.
M.D.: What principles are stable for you?
N.K.: I’m an adherent of the truth, no matter how harsh it may be. After all, it’s better to burn yourself once than to burn to the ground, as it is said. I’m an open person and expect the same from people.
M.D.: Open the most anticipated mystery and probably one of the most frequently asked questions - is there a place of love in your life now?
N.K.: I will not deny, but perhaps, about personal I prefer not to say anything.
M.D.: Finally, the nearest plans that you are going to implement?
N.K.: To be honest, I certainly aspire to the level of the world’s top photo models, whose name sounds from the broadcasts of fashion channels. I believe that it is very important to set clear goals for yourself, to form them mentally. So that every time you ask yourself why you are doing this, feel free to answer to yourself.
