Can
you tell us about how you started your career in the fashion industry and what
inspired you to become a model?
Of course, all girls from
childhood dream of becoming a model, and I am no exception. And somehow it so
happened that the first project in which I took part was called "Pride and
Beauty of Ukraine. Children." I was invited to the cover of the magazine,
it was a photo shoot in the image of an angel, then in the national costumes of
my native Ukraine. And I was so impressed with my first professional shoot that
I did not hesitate to agree to new projects. Producers said that I have a
format appearance and started inviting me to shoot. At first it was Ukrainian
projects, and then you already know.

With
ever-changing fashion trends, how do you maintain your individual style and
stay relevant in this dynamic industry?
You know, to keep
your individual style, you said it right - it's important to keep your
individuality. It doesn't matter how fashion trends change, it's important to
wear what you feel comfortable, what suits you and the clothes that adorn you.
I'm talking about me personally. I will never wear clothes that make me look
ugly or uncomfortable. Yes, I can work on set in such images, but as soon as
the camera goes off, I quickly dive into my favorite and comfortable clothes.
Again, it's very important for me to be comfortable in my clothes, because it's
my life and I care about the quality of my clothes.
Please
tell us more about this photo shoot, which we present to our readers, and what
was the inspiration for this style?
My producer would probably tell us more about
this photo shoot. It's a shoot in the now fashionable old money style. I can
say that I like this style very much and I often choose images in this style
for everyday life and for going out.

In
fashion, collaboration is very important. Could you share an unforgettable
experience of working with a famous designer or photographer?
You know, for me, probably the
most unforgettable experience was working with a famous Ukrainian photographer
- Sonya Plakidyuk. It was a shoot for Makatsaria Jewelry brand, which worked in
collaboration with a Ukrainian brand of wedding dresses. We flew for a few days
to the Italian Alps on Lake Braise. As I remember now it was very cold, I think
-10 degrees. I posed in a wedding dress with bare shoulders, and Sonia in a
snowdrift at the waist worked 8 hours a day. And she didn't stop until she saw
on her camera screen the perfect shot that satisfied her. And it wasn't easy to
see it, because the weather got in the way. A terrible fog had descended and we
couldn't see the mountains or the team. But we waited for good weather
conditions and made a perfect shot for the cover of the advertising campaign.
That's why Sonia was most memorable, for her perseverance and hard work.

You
have been involved in various media projects. Are there any particular areas of
entertainment you would like to pursue, such as acting or TV hosting?
Not that I wanted
to master acting, but I can boast of the experience of shooting in a movie
where I played the lead role. The film directed and produced by Elvira
Gavrilova, "An Incident at the Wall Street Hotel" was presented at
the Cannes Film Festival in the short film program. In this movie, I starred
with the famous Hollywood actor Eric Roberts, an Oscar and Golden Globe nominee
who has appeared in more than 700 films and TV series. It was an unforgettable
experience and most importantly a huge responsibility. Firstly, my first major
role in a movie, and also in a festival movie - the Cannes Film Festival is a
very high level. And secondly, the partnership with such a cool actor as Eric
Roberts. I played his daughter in the movie and he supported me as much as
possible, even behind the scenes tutoring and teaching me and working on the
role in between shoots. I really enjoyed the experience. I am looking forward
to the next invitation to shoot a movie and hope for the lead role.
By the way, the year the movie was presented, I was a guest on the red carpet
of the Cannes Film Festival. It was no less exciting to be part of such a
prestigious event, the oldest and most widely known in the world of cinema.
We
have seen you collaborate with various celebrities in the past. Is there a
celebrity or public figure you would like to work with again, and why?
Yes, I have already had numerous star
shooting partners. It's hard to say with whom I would like to repeat this
experience. Probably all of them. Because on every shoot we get very close, we
become friends, practically family. You know how it is when you fly out for a
few days to shoot. You spend all day and night with the crew, overcome many
obstacles and adventures together, and share both joys and difficulties. It is
impossible to remain strangers after such an experience. That's why it's very
sad to part after filming and I always want to repeat this experience. I hope
that with many of those with whom we worked, like Eric Roberts and my favorite
Sonya Plakidyuk, and the singer Alekseev in whose music video I starred, we
will be able to work in the future.

To preserve your individual style, it is important to preserve your individuality. Regardless of how fashion trends change, it is important to wear what you feel comfortable in, what suits you and clothes that adorn you.
In the
competitive world of fashion, how do you manage to maintain a healthy work-life
balance?
A healthy
work-life balance? Are you kidding? My schedule makes it hard to maintain. So I
don't even try.

Social
media has changed the fashion industry. How do you use these platforms to
connect with your audience and showcase your work?
You know, I can't
call myself a blogger. I know it's not right in today's world, but I promise to
get better. I have several pages on Instagram - one is my private, closed one,
for friends; the other is my official one, which is run by my managers. In
principle, my official page can be called a blogger page, but I don't do it
professionally.
Can
you remember your first encounter with Marie Claire magazine and how this iconic
publication has influenced your career as a model?
Marie ClaireI have known the magazine for a long
time, even before my first shoots. I've always loved your covers, the extremely
stylish shoots, the famous women. And deep down, I always dreamed of decorating
one of your issues. And now my dream has finally come true. Yay, I'm on the
cover. I hope it will be one of the most beautiful in your magazine. Thank you again for this opportunity.
