Yes, my name is Russian and inspired from my dad who is Russian and German. My last name is also German.



PONY RYDER: How did you get into modeling?

NASTASIA OHL:
I got into modeling after I grew a bit in high school. I originally got the idea into my head when I met a model in Whole Foods when I was younger ( about 9), then when I grew I sent my pictures in to some agencies in New York.


PONY RYDER: You are coming from Florida. How do you handle humidity?

NASTASIA OHL:
Well Florida is very humid yes, but I live nearby the beach so the ocean breeze is nice and makes it cooler. Actually this heat stroke in New York is much warmer than the Florida weather I am used to.

PONY RYDER: Have you ever seen an alligator?
NASTASIA OHL: I have never seen an alligator actually! They mostly stay in the everglades.

PONY RYDER: What about Miami Vice, do you know that show?

NASTASIA OHL:
Well I have heard about this show but ever actually watched it, haha. I think it is a bit different than what Miami actually is like.



PONY RYDER: Except your wonderful green eyes, one of your signatures is your hair? It seems wild!

NASTASIA OHL:
Well my hair is crazy curly but I love it.

PONY RYDER: Do you travel light?
NASTASIA OHL:
I actually don’t travel light at all!




I like to bring everything with me so its hard for me to pack for fashion week, being away for all that time.I have to narrow it all down so that I don’t pay overweight fees on the planes though!



PONY RYDER: You are busy doing casting and shows at the moment, so we won’t bother you 2 much. Just tell us, what are your casting essentials!


NASTASIA OHL: Well for me I always bring some type of tote bag for my bag and shoes, right now I am carrying the one from the BCBG casting haha.


I also carry my Marc by Marc purse, my casting shoes from TOPSHOP and a granola bar for snacks in between fittings.



PONY RYDER: You get a chance to snack? Cool. What do you like to “snack”?

PONY RYDER: You definitely stand out in a crowd! You ruled that Benetton ad last season. Do you try to stand out when you pose with a group of models?

NASTASIA OHL:
Oh thanks! Well when we shot Benettton I got to know the other models on set over the course of the shoot, so it was easy to pose with everyone because we all became friends.




I felt this great vibe during Benetton, I loved the team and I think you could see it in the group shots, the way that everyone got along so nicely.




PONY RYDER: You are in the Urban Outfitters lookbook! Do you wear it personally?


NASTASIA OHL: I have a bunch of Urban stuff that I wear actually, so its cool I get to work for a brand that I’m a fan of! When I shot for them I got to see all the new stuff they were coming out with also.

I am a pretty active person so I stay in shape with bikram yoga mostly and also I run occasionally.

Yoga is nice because it helps me to relax and stay peaceful. It also improves my flexibility and helps to maintain focus.

I like eggs, oatmeal or cereal if I am in a rush. Breakfast is an important meal because it gets you going in the morning.
