She gives her strength not only to the shooting sets and big stages where she got the honor to become the owner of titles: ll Vice Miss Ukrainian beauty, Beauty of Russia, Super model world beauty, Russia’s best talent, as well as work in the production center. At the same time remaining a professional in all areas. Reinforcing every phrase with an energetic gesture, she convinces: «You and only you control your own life!» And everyone wants to listen her. Specially for MODNY DOM sincere interview with the heroine.
M.D.: Intelligent family and upbringing has definitely played its role, because getting education was a key factor for your parents, wasn’t it? How did they react to your choice in favor of the fashion industry?
Y.B.: I did not think it would turn out that way (laughs). The family had a different opinion on this matter. I did not quit my studies, but combined the model business and wanted to get a decent education at any price. But there were so many successful shootings, titles, awards, important acquaintances and business proposals, in a word, the wheel of Fortune was launched.
M.D.: But still there was a certain image of the «girl-in-the-pile» - good studying, excellent attendance of various sections. How do these influence on your life now? Are you all the same exemplary?
Y.B.: I can say that this made me a disciplined person, and helped me further in life to be more focused on important things. For example, ballroom dances, which I studied for many years, were useful to me in my current professional work and much more. I believe that my parents laid the right features for me in the future.
M.D.: You are the director of the producer center, the participant of various fashion shows, the owner of titles of beauty contests, the choreographer and even the fitness instructor - that’s what means to catch everything. And what is success for you?
Y.B.: It seems to me that the indicator of success is a feedback, people’s opinion of what you are doing. This can be even a small compliment from colleagues. It is not necessary to receive awards and prizes in order to feel recognition, although they are also pleasant.
M.D.: You have been in the modeling business for a long time and this cannot be reflected on your style - the latest trends and must-have seasons just flash in your images one by one. What can you say about your style?
Y.B.: Clothing should help to open up and express emotions, this is what the designers and models that advertise brands are telling us. You can by heart know all the trends and follow them with pleasure, without any fanaticism. Individual style and own preferences - this is what comes first. You need to adapt things not only to the body, but also to the mood.
M.D.: The best fashion advice that you have ever received?
Y.B.: As a child, my mother said that I did not leave the house until I was properly dressed. When you look presentable, you feel much more confident. I still adhere to this rule, because it’s part of my job.
M.D.: In career you have big ambitions, judging by the achievement at such an early age. Where does such strength of your character come from?
Y.B.: I have a very personal idea of ambitions, and it’s not about money or about a career. I need much more! I want to be the best version of what I can be in principle. For me this is the highest aspiration. Every day I sit down and remember that I managed and worked through it. Then I ask myself which direction I want to move on, and there is not much that can knock me out of the way. I believe in the power of the will and that everyone can become what he wants to be.
M.D.: Do you believe in meaningful encounters? Have you ever had any?
Y.B.: I am a quite faithful person and I believe that people are not accidental for each other. I am lucky with good people and I am very grateful to them for their presence in my life, for its new meaning. A gift from God I consider an acquaintance with the amazing and extraordinary Beatrice Malakhova - a person with a kind heart and a broad soul who will always support and give good advice. After all, in life there are not so many disinterested people who believe in you even more than you yourself. It is worth to appreciate this.
M.D.: What is the image of modern girl, according to you?
Y.B.: She copes with everything. She manages to build a career, raise children and be happy in marriage - and this is easy for her.
M.D.: Imagine yourself in five years. What will you change in your life?
Y.B.: I want to believe that I will build strong family relations at that time, and my career will grow into something more. I hope I will open my business.
