How discovered:<\/strong>
\nWhen I was 12 I searched for mother agency in Moscow for myself and scout from one agency invited me for interview. At this time I met very good people who helped me in the future.<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nReading and listening to music because at this time I\u2019m abstracted from the world and I can be my own self.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI fell in love with rock bands like Being as an ocean, Bring Me The Horizon and of course Disturbed (love them so much) etc and if I have special strange mood I can listen some K\u00adPOP bands like BIG BANG,BTS. 4Minute. I know that it looks very strange but it\u2019s truth :)<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nMy favorite movie is full\u00ad length anime film Hotarubi no Mori e. When I watch it I cry like a baby.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI always use fragrance with lemon or verbena. I\u2019m obsessed with these smells. I use L\u2019OREAL Paris beauty product everyday to keep my face skin clean and fresh without it I can\u2019t start the day.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nBefore model career I dreamt about job of English teacher but suddenly everything changed so I decided to become a professional translator.<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nI collect small things which associated with important events from my life. I keep it in small box in my room (but shhhh it\u2019s my secret) <\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nThe most important work for me it was exclusive for Balenciaga. Many people believed in me so I tried to do my best. It was great experience.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nI miss Russian nature, forests, landscapes of birthplace. When I think about these it give me energy and inspiration for work.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nI love fashion world and I want to work with everyone from this world. Because all people have inimitable individuality and I want to take experience from working with everyone of them. Thanks to them I can open so much new things and knowledge for myself.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nI dreamt about Paris for a very long time. And my dream has became truth so know I want to visit New York and I hope this dream will become truth very soon too.<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nIf say truth I\u2019m obsessed about my school. Even if I do my homework while I\u2019m staying in Paris I\u2019m still worrying about teacher\u2019s reaction on my work but I hope that they will understand and support me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
