How discovered:<\/strong>
\nI was shopping at TSUM department store in Kazan – I had saved up all my money to buy this beautiful dress I had wanted for a long time. As I tried the dress and came out to show my mom, this model scout approached me and asked if I was a professional model. She asked me to come in to her agency and that was the beginning of my journey\u2026<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nFacetime – so I can see my family whenever I want, dancing on the street, vegging out and watching old movies.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve been flying a lot these days so I cannot live without my Spotify. My playlist has a mix of Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Drake but my current mood is Colors by Halsey.<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nI loved the new Mad Max with Charlize Theron. Just started binge watching Game of Thrones. Only on season 2 but it\u2019s hard to keep up with everyone\u2019s names.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nI love Donatella Versace. She\u2019s always been so good to me and she\u2019s amazing with work with. I have the Versace Bright Crystal. Beauty product wise, I really like SK-II Facial Treatment Mask. It\u2019s the best for looking good right after a 12 hour flight.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nHopefully taking over the world with my charm and intellect. Hahaha but I dream about making a vintage shop in my hometown. Not just vintage clothes but furniture, shoes, everything.<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nI have neon pink lipstick that I love but everyone hates.<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nI remember my first big show walking for Prada. They had this really amazing set designed for the show and I was so nervous that I would miss one of the turns. I remember finally calming down during the finale and saying to myself – \u201cWhoah! you just walked the Prada show\u201d! <\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nI miss my mother\u2019s home cooking. No matter where you go, you can\u2019t beat mom\u2019s cooking.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m happy to work everyone. Two years ago, I was shooting lookbooks in Japan and now I\u2019m walking in top shows all over the world. I\u2019m just really lucky that I got this chance to be a model and have everything happen so fast. I\u2019m more about meeting great people, doing a great job, and having an amazing time. <\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nDisney World because I want to see how big the Magic Castle is and either Patagonia or the Grand Canyon. Its hard to pick since you want to see them all. <\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nHow to get the beachy look. There\u2019s about 1000 videos online about how to get that beachy wave but you can never it looking that good when you do it yourself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
