What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
Before I started modeling I went to police school in St. Petersburg, and I loved it. I guess I would have continued my education and worked in government
Favorite modeling experience so far?
I have two amazing moments: 1) walking in Louis Vuitton show S/S ’13 and working with the amazing Michelle Lee, it was incredible, and 2) last season, in Paris, I opened the Yohji Yamamoto show. It all happened so suddenly, 30 minutes before the show, the designer decided to change the line and found that I was the first. Also, was an unbelievable experience! That’s the beauty about this business, you just never know what tomorrow brings.
What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
I love my city, I think this is one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. It was built with the smell of Europe in this city is very sincere. The only negative – it’s cold, and only 3 months of heat, and then rain and snow
Which brand would you really love to model for?
I would love to model for Dior one day.
Place you would love to visit:
I dream to go to Africa, it is the last continent that I have not seen. I want to see with my own eyes how people live there. And maybe someday be able to help them
