WE MET HANA JUST AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO FLY TO THE AUTUMN FASHION WEEKS WHERE SHE FINALLY ENTERED THE EXCLUSIVE WORLD OF INTERNATIONAL TOP MODELS. When we met at the end of the spring in Prague, it was just year after she had got her very first opportunity to work for the best designers at their great shows. No doubt. Hana made an impression. From the moment she did her first prestigious fashion editorial, her life changed abruptly several times and the young model made a great jump into the fashion work. Here in the Czech Republic you might not hÃ¡ve seen her face or heard her name, but trust us that shortly this is going to change. In current autumn shows of collections for spring/summer 2004 Hana appeared more frequently than Eva HerzigovÃ¡ and Karolina KurkovÃ¡ together. But how is seventeen-year old Hana coping with this sit-uation? Here is her story... Hana sits in a Prague restaurant and looks relaxed. Year ago she set out from her native Carlsbad into the world and now she had an opportunity to enjoy herself in the way seven-teen year old girls normally enjoy their lives. She went to visit her grandparents in the country, played with her dog, had a chat with her sister and went for summer swimming. After a week of holidays with the family she will again takÃ© the plane to New York, where recently she started to live. It is certainly very interesting but at the samÃ© time quite strange when a seventeen years old girl works from morn-ing till evening and makes huge sums of money. But such is a live of any top model. On the other hand, only a few of them experience this as early as in their seventeen. You could count them on the fingers of your hand. Yes, Hana has had an extraordinary success. So far, she says, she can cope with it. And perhaps it is better that she is that young - the things and events happen around her faster than she is able to realise. True, she works with the best fashion photographers and the best fashion designers. But so what? She still can remain a normÃ¡l, modest seventeen years old girl. Hana's agent, Lenka JochovÃ¡, her closest friend - apart from the family, of course - says Hana was happy to skip quite quickly the period in which the teenagers work on ordinary commission just to get experience. "We sent Hana to Paris quite early, to present her and to find out whether there is some interest in her." The long-legged model went from casting to casting and often heard the simple uniform answer: too young! In spite of the fact everybody around her thought she was just the face that could impress in Paris. These were onÃ© of the toughest weeks in her short career. "I was in Paris month and a half and I did not work at all. Every day about five to seven castings and I could not get any commission. I stayed in a hotel with another model and sometimes we went to swim or had a walk around the Eiffel tower. Week before I was supposed to leave for home, I was commissioned to do some photographs with the photographer Liz Collins for Numero, onÃ© of the most popular fashion magazines in Paris. And this was the break point. Since that time I hÃ¡ve been getting more and more commissions," she says and great reliÃ©f can be heard in her voice. "Yes, I was pretty nervous. I had such great hopes at home and suddenly I had to say to myself: well, just a month and I go home with nothing... But the last week it has all changed and I was so happy..." Before Hana left for the fashion world for good, she started studying at the secondary school of ceramics in Carlsbad but had to quÃt soon: "I wanted to stay because I liked it, the people in the school were just great. And to be honest, I wept while I was leaving..." Oddly enough onÃ© of the most wanted models in today's fashion world first has not really been interested in fashion and she even did not wish to become a model: "Only when there was Fashion TV on our cable TV I dreamed that I would like to be one of them. But I pre-ferred playing basketball - I played for nine years," says long Hana. "Then I stopped, I had no time for it." Hana SoukupovÃ¡ is indeed a girl that makes an impression on first sight. She is hundred and eightytwo centimetres tÃ¡li, has an angel's face and beautiful auburn hair. Although she dresses quite modestly, people around always turn their heads after her. She herself would prefer to be "less conspicuous". I ask whether she still remembers how as a little girl she tried on her mother's shoes in front of a mirror and imagined herself a model. With a smile Hana says that she preferred to pose in her basketball shorts. Well, basketball ... onÃ© can see she remembers Carlsbad...with affection. Most she misses the nÃ¡tuÅ™e around. "If I could I would go camping somewhere in nature. When I am in New York for three months, with all those skyscrap-ers around mÃ©, there is nowhere to go to relax. I miss camp-fires as well as other things I uÅ¡ed to do before. Back hornÃ©, we live right on the edge of the town and my father used to takÃ© mÃ© and my sister for a long walks in the woods." It is only a question of time when young Hana will hÃ¡ve to jump into the complex and difficult celebrity life and will hÃ¡ve a bunch of managers around her all the time. Apart from her Czech agent Lenka JochovÃ¡ she is represented by four different agencies in the four main capitals of the fashion world. After several months in Paris she moved to New York earlier this year. Currently she lives there on her own and as Lenka says she is exceptionally independent and self-sufficient and is not - happily - a riot party girl. In the city that never sleeps she has a small flat, which is yet to be fully furnished. "Currently I hÃ¡ve only a bÄ›d, sofa and a couple of wardrobes," she says showing us a photo of a small room. "I drew some pictures to make it more cosy, I framed photos of my friends and I made a collage out of it. The fiat is very nice. It is on Manhattan, near Soho. China Town is near so it is rather alive. What I like most in New York is going out to the nearby market and just simply shopping for fruits". In New York she is represented by the DNA agency. "They are all OK and I like them. Most of the time I spend probably with my booker Butterfly. She always calls mÃ© and we go for a meal, sometimes shopping oÅ™ to the cinema...." says Hana who is in touch with her closest via phone. At this early age it is definitely not easy. I ask whether she has some friends from school still left. "I hÃ¡ve onÃ© friend and we text one another when I am abroad or I call her. I am in daily contact with my mum oÅ™ sister although I am not extremely fond of text messages." Hana's hectic life has been documented in a film for Czech TV Nova which was shot during the last months and is about Hana and her closest friend from Carlsbad. How does she herself perceive the comparison of two young girls? "I trav-el a lot and I think this will make mÃ© more independent sooner, I know the languages, many interesting people. But on the other hand I am so away from my closest friends and relatives. For instance when I was for the first time in Japan for two months I could not speak to any of my friends because the telephones were so expensive. Then I learned that this profession has also the negative Å¡idÄ›." And the negative Å¡idÄ› is not negligible. Although it may seem that a young girl will make a fortunÄ› just out of her good look, this is not the Äase, nÃ¡mely during the spring and autumn shows, when during onÃ© month she has to trav-el through New York, London, Milan and Paris, get up at fÃve oÅ™ six o'clock every day and walk onÃ© fashion show after another. Every evening she falls tired into the bÄ›d. It gets slightly better during the rest of the year. Hana trav-els to shoot the fashion editorials for prestigious interna-tional magazines and thus has a chance to show what she has to offer. Even during her shooting in Prague everybody praised her for her significant improvement. As in any other field of human activity to work on oneself is the ability that makes the difference. And today, Hana certainly belongs among the best twenty models in the world. Its main advantage is that she is the youngest. Sometimes people would say she could be the new Karolina, but this comparison is far from appropriate. Karolina KÅ¯rkovÃ¡, a self-confident extrovert, is friendly with the stars of international show business. While Karolina gave her cock-tail party in New York this summer, which was attended by P. Diddy and co., Hana swam with her sister in a smÃ¡li sand pond near Carlsbad. The comparison, however, holds true for the career Hana could achieve overseas. This year she worked with the best photographers like Mario Testino, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Thomas Schenk, Solve Sundsbo, Patrick Demarchelier oÅ™ DusÃ¡n Reljin, whose photo-editori-al you can see in this very issue of Hype. Slowly she has started accumulating the cover pages of various fashion magazines in her portfolio and everybody waits for the first big campaign commission from a major client. But com-pared to other models, Hana has plenty of time. She can travel round the world, work, enjoy herself, experience new things oÅ™ try to shoot with a camera. Photography is her biggest hobby. We browse through her new album of photos and it is pre-cisely in this moment that the quiet introvert Hana shows what lies deeply in her. Apart from her beauty and strength will she certainly has some talent. It is very sympathetic that from the whole rough world of modelling she is fasci-nated by the creative Å¡idÄ›: good photographers and design-ers. We go from page to page and Hana comments: "This is South France - this was in fact a city full of naked people. For instance, we went in the car and saw a woman that rode a bike absolutely naked ... oÅ™ v/e saw a completely nudÄ› man entering the drugstore. We did our photos and those naked people just watched," she laughs. OÅ™ she telÃÅ¡ how she did some photos in winter, dressed only in evening robe and how she was frozen, how she always watches the clothes of other girls before the show, that she thinks that most the male models are effeminate. Her albums are kind of diaries. "When I am older and not a model anymore, I will hÃ¡ve something to show to my children. I myself like to browse through the pictures of my mum, how she looked, what she did." It is very nice how seventeen years old Hana, with all her career just before her, thinks about what to show her children in the future. "Sometimes I think that when I am finished with modelling, I could be a photographer. I love black and white pictures for clearly there is something in them. I think they are much about feelings..." she says when we pass through a large photo exhibition in Municipal library. In the Czech street she yet does not create much commotion. What will happen, though, when the tabloid press starts watching her, when she becomes a celebrity without any privacy? Strange though it may seem this is the most likely way for Hana to follow. This does not necessarily mean that she herself has to change but certainly a lot of things in her life will. Thus only onÃ© question remains unanswered. What kind of personality she will grow into? And I ask her what she would write under her picture on the Hype cover page, how she would like people to perceive her. She thinks for a while and then says: "Hana, the new photographer?"Source: Czech Hype Mag, October 2003 Thanks to Royal-Galliano from TFS for translation Celebrities & Models http://www.zorpia.com/tortoisie/journal/1453755 Tue, 27 Dec 2005 08:07 EST The Russians are coming http://www.zorpia.com/tortoisie/journal/1453636 April 1 2003 By Julia RobsonGrumpy Western models are being eclipsed by newcomers with high cheekbones and a solid work ethic. Models from the former Soviet Union - including Georgians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks and Kazakhstanis - are putting their Western counterparts in the shade. Led by Natalia Vodianova, the 20-year-old who was the star of most of the recent designer shows, including Prada and YSL, they dominated the catwalks of the autumn-winter collections. This new model army, blessed with high cheekbones, perfect skin, Bambi blue-green eyes, full lips and tall, near-perfect figures, is a refreshing alternative to the medley of grumpy, androgynous mannequins who have dominated in recent seasons. However, the success of Vodianova - often watched from the front row by her British husband, Justin Portman, the son of Viscount Portman, and her one-year-old son, Lucas - and her catwalk comrades extends beyond the runways. Many of these Russian dolls, whose careers often begin in London, have landed lucrative designer campaigns. Vodianova is the face of Gucci; Ksenia Maximova, 17, is the face of the latest Valentino adverts and the Gucci scent, Rush. Other names to watch out for (even if you can't pronounce them) include Eugenia Volodina, 19; Kristina Chrastekova, 18; Natalia Semanova, 18; and Natasa Vojnovic, 22. But perhaps the brightest of the new Russian stars is Anne Vyalitsyna, who, like Vodianova, comes from Nizhni Novgorod, an industrial city on the Volga. @media print {.nopr {display:none}} Vyalitsyna, a 16-year-old beauty with strawberry-blonde hair and green eyes, has been chosen as the face of Chanel's new fragrance, Chance. The star of the campaign, which was shot by the respected French art director Jean-Paul Goude, she will be seen on posters from April 4, with her arms wrapped around the scent's round glass bottle. Vyalitsyna's modelling career began when, aged 15, she won an MTV modelling competition and a contract with the IMG agency. Within six months, she had appeared for Anna Molinari, Chloe and Sportmax. "I've wanted to be a model ever since I was little, playing with my Barbie doll," she says, in near-perfect English. "It helped (for the catwalk) that I can dance - her favourite pastime is ballroom dancing - but everything is self-taught." Vyalitsyna, who is an only child and whose parents are both doctors, is now based in New York. "I miss Russian food and my parents, but I love my job," she says. "I don't have a boyfriend. Most of my friends in New York are Russian models. "I do feel a bit weird about the money, but I send most of it home to my parents." Backstage, before the Chanel show in Paris, I spotted her talking to a group of other Russians and wearing the usual model uniform - a combination of flea-market finds and designer freebies. However, when the designer Karl Lagerfeld appeared, to wish his models luck, of the 52 girls present, he singled out Anne and shook her by the hand. According to her agent, Duncan Ord, a co-director of IMG, Vyalitsyna's meteoric rise - in the past month, she also appeared at the Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Fendi, Gucci, Versus and McQueen shows - is not simply down to her enviable genes, but also her Russian roots. "Russians have a work ethic like no other nationality," he says. "Photographers and designers love their look, but everyone loves their attitude. They are rarely late. They are totally committed to their work and, no matter how young they are, they understand the nature of the business." Melissa Richardson, a partner of the Take Two agency in London, which represents Vodianova, agrees. "When you bring girls from certain countries into the Western market, they are clueless. Russian girls are extraordinarily mature, as well as charming and beautiful. They are grateful for what this business gives them and never lose sight of reality," she says. "Russia has become a popular scouting ground because it's opened up over the past few years," Ord says. "These girls want out of Russia. They are hungry to work and determined to succeed. Put alongside girls from other countries, they shine." source: lakomka (theage.com.au) from TFS Celebrities & Models http://www.zorpia.com/tortoisie/journal/1453636 Tue, 27 Dec 2005 02:44 EST The europian supermodelâ€™s eye is caught by Kazan http://www.zorpia.com/tortoisie/journal/1451783 The europian supermodelâ€™s eye is caught by Kazan fur coat Eugeniaâ€™s life â€“ a fairytale about snow â€“ white. From Kazan schoolgirl to one of Valentinoâ€™s fav models. Every famous photographer wants to work with Eugenia, but every designer wants her to show his clothes. Eugenia Volodina is known in model business simply as Eugenia. She is constantly away from home, but in her thoughts she is always in Russia. <img alt="" src="http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/134/1641258yb.jpg" border="0" /> ,,I like national clothes and Gucci â€˜â€™ We met Eugenia at presentation of one kazan clothing company fashion show. We were told that Eugenia in her early days had also walked down this runway. With biggest joy she accepted the oppertunity to visit this fashion show. On her stole, as the other guest, she had meat and fish meals, desert and fruits. As to drinks â€“ still water and juice. From stronger drinks â€“ brandy and champaign. But Eugenia eschawed alcoholic drinks. All evening with intrest she looked at the models and the new collection. Most of all she liked national clothes, the way latest tendences were mixed with national motive. And ofcourse, womenâ€™s best friends, fur coats. - Tell us please Eugenia are there any common tendencies in Europe? - A bit, - warmly smiled Eugenia. â€“ At the moment a lot of designers uses Russian motive in their collections. I so liked the national clothing in this fashion show. Itâ€™s truly beatiful. Them (in Europe) dont have that. - What do you prefer yourself to wear? Any favourite brands? - I wear different clothing. Few years ago i liked Gucci. But now i wear a lot of other designers. Even not in one style. - Maybe you have desire to own smth from this collection? - Oh, yes. I extremly loved one fur coat. Silvery one. It was the first or the second in collection. Ð—Ð¾Ñ Ð¡Ð°Ñ„Ð¸Ð½Ð° is the designer. I admire everything she does. I have always liked the clothing she designs. Even in those years when i worked here in Â«Ð˜Ð»ÑŒÐ´Ð°Ð½ÐµÂ». The fur coat was truly beautiful. Soft, furry and â€˜â€™you can wear it on both sidesâ€™â€™. This miracle costed â€“ 80 thousand roubles (<img title=":huh:" alt="" src="http://www.thefashionspot.com/ugala/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif" border="0" /> how many is that prox in $ ?) For a model who has earned 1 million dollars for a year that isnt so expenssive. <img alt="" src="http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/2403/1641263km.jpg" border="0" /> Ð’ ÐšÐ°Ð·Ð°Ð½ÑŒ ÑÐ±ÐµÐ¶Ð°Ð»Ð° Ðº Ð»ÑŽÐ±Ð¸Ð¼Ð¾Ð¼Ñƒ (?) Despite of her fame she still is absolutely simple and opened person. Perhaps thats why she became firends with Valentino. Not even his favourite model, but also face for his new fragrance. - At first, when i cam to casting, it was a bit difficult, but after some time we became good friends, - tells Eugenia about the famous designer. â€“ For him i am like a daughter. I have been to his flat, he invited me. He is superperson indeed. At the moment i live and work in Paris. But i have never forget Russia. Zenya loves Kazan so much that when she has the samellest possibilty she flies home. She escapes from busy cities, just to enjoy the quiet streets of her country, but not only for that. - Here all mine relatives live. And mine biggest love. That why i try to go home every month , admits Eugenia. <img alt="" src="http://img326.imageshack.us/img326/8077/1641278iq.jpg" border="0" /> Dossier Â«ÐšÐŸÂ» (?) Eugenia started to work as a model while she was at school. After she graduated, one of Russian agencies sent her to Paris. Then she didnt think about famous shows and magazines. She simply wanted to work in fashion world. But it turned out 20 years old russian beauty was meant for fashion world. After working in Europe for half a year, without problems she got Gucci campaign. For every designer she is a favourite model. Europian press calls her as Â«Ð¶ÐµÐ½Ñ‰Ð¸Ð½Ð°-Ð²Ð°Ð¼Ð¿Â», Â«Ð°Ð¼Ð°Ð·Ð¾Ð½ÐºÐ°Â» Ð¸ Â«Ð±Ð¾Ð³Ð¸Ð½ÑÂ». I simply work from day to day ,trying to do everything as good as i can, - tells us our supermodel.

Na rozdÃl od nÃ vÅ¡ak Hana SoukupovÃ¡ (19) pÅ¯sobÃ plaÅ¡e. A na prvnÃ pohled takÃ© docela obyÄejnÄ›. Å½e by mohla bÃ½t topmodelkou, prozradÃ jen 182 centimetruuÅ¯ vÃ½Å¡ky, nekoneÄnÃ© nohy a Å¡ÃthlÃ¡ silueta. JemnÃ© rysy jeko z impresionistickÃ©ho obrazu a pomnÄ›nkovÃ© oÄi pÅ™itom HanÄ› SoukupovÃ© vydobyly 5. pÅ™ÃÄku mezi nejÃºspÄ›Å¡nÄ›jÅ¡Ãmi krÃ¡skami. A tekÃ© miliÃ³novÃ© honorÃ¡Å™e, o kterÃ½ch se vÅ¡ak Hanka v rozhovoru pro Blesk MagazÃn bavila velmi nerada. PoprvÃ© jsme se setkaly asi pÅ™ed tÅ™emi lety, kdy vaÅ¡e agentka Lenka JochovÃ¡ vyÄkÃ¡vala, aÅ¾ pÅ™ijde ten sprÃ¡vnÃ½ okamÅ¾ik. Dnes jste tÃ©mÄ›Å™ na vrcholu, co se za ta lÃ©ta zmÄ›nilo? HodnÄ›. UrÄitÄ› jsem si vÃc zvykla na Å¾ivotnÃ styl, na prÃ¡ci, i kdyÅ¾ poÅ™Ã¡d se mi stÃ½skÃ¡ po domovÄ› a po rodiÄÃch. PÅ™ed nÄ›kolika mÄ›sÃci jsem si taky koupila v Americe byt. Z toho mÃ¡m velkou radost. V Americe se ale pohybujete uÅ¾ nÄ›kolik let. ProÄ jste ho koupila aÅ¾ letos, nebyly penÃze? To nebyl hlavnÃ problÃ©m, spÃÅ¡ jsem jeÅ¡tÄ› tak nekoukala do budoucnosti, netuÅ¡ila jsem, jestli s tam chci usadit. Kolik stojÃ takovÃ½ byt na Manhattanu ? To zrovna Å™Ãkat nemusÃm, ne ? Pro ÄeskÃ©ho ÄtenÃ¡Å™e je to docela zajÃmavÃ©...... O tom bych se nevyjadÅ™ovala. Tak jak je ten byt velkÃ½, jak vypadÃ¡ ? Jsou tam dvÄ› loÅ¾nice, obÃ½vÃ¡k, dvÄ› koupelny. PÄ›knÃ¡ kuchyÅˆ. BydlÃte tam sama ? JeÅ¡tÄ› ne, teÄ ho rekonstruujÃ. MÄ›la bych se nastÄ›hovat asi pÅ™ÃÅ¡tÃ rok. ZatÃm budu v podnÃ¡jmu. ProÄ se vy, krÃ¡snÃ©, ÃºspÄ›Å¡nÃ© dÃvky, tak nerady bavÃte o penÄ›zÃch ? ProtoÅ¾e to je, jako bych se zeptala na vaÅ¡i vÃ½platu. Ve svÄ›tÄ› pÅ™ece bÃ½vÃ¡ bÅ¾nÃ© zveÅ™ejÅˆovat pÅ™Ãjmy celebrit a Å¾ebÅ™ÃÄky tÄ›ch nejbohatÅ¡Ãch...... JÃ¡ se o tom prostÄ› nebavÃm. MyslÃm, Å¾e je to kaÅ¾dÃ©ho soukromÃ¡ vÄ›c. Tak jinak - jak a kdy jste vydÄ›lala prvnÃ milion ? PrvnÃ milion ? NevÃm, to uÅ¾ si opravdu nepamatuju. V sedmnÃ¡cti asi. Za co nejvÃc utrÃ¡cÃte - kromÄ› toho bytu ? MoÅ¾nÃ¡ za restaurace, kam rÃ¡da chodÃm. Ty jsou v New Yorku docela drahÃ©. MÃ¡m rÃ¡da rÅ¯znou exotickou kuchyni, japonskou, korejskou, thajskou. MÃ¡te v Americe nÄ›jakÃ© pÅ™Ã¡tele ? MÃ¡m jednu americkou kamarÃ¡dku, opravdu skvÄ›lou, se kterou se vÃdÃ¡m skoro kaÅ¾dÃ½ den. TakÃ© modelka ? Ne, i kdyÅ¾ jsme se poznaly v agentuÅ™e. A pÅ™Ãtele mÃ¡te ? NemÃ¡m. Ale na Äas na soukromÃ si uÅ¾ nestÄ›Å¾uju. V poslednÃ dobÄ› si prÃ¡ci mÅ¯Å¾u vÃc vybÃrat. Agentura za mÄ› pÅ™ijÃmÃ¡ jen ty opravdu nejlepÅ¡Ã zakÃ¡zky, tÅ™eba pro americkou Vogue, prostÄ› pro ty nejlepÅ¡Ã magazÃny. MÃ¡m tedy i vÃc Äasu pro sebe. Zrovna americkou Vogue jste pÅ™ed dvÄ›ma lety oznaÄila za nejvyÅ¡Å¡Ã metu v modelingu a vÃ¡Å¡ nesplnitelnÃ½ sen, protoÅ¾e v poslednÃ dobÄ› mÃvÃ¡ na obÃ¡lce jen filmovÃ© celebrity..... No jo, to mi bylo sedmnÃ¡ct. Byl to mÅ¯j sen. UÅ¾ se vÃ¡m splnil, co si pÅ™ejete dÃ¡l ? TeÄ by se mi lÃbila nÄ›jakÃ¡ ta kosmetickÃ¡ kampaÅˆ. UÅ¾ jsem fotila pro Gucci, Versace, Max Maru, kosmetickou kampaÅˆ pro Dior..... UÅ¾ nÄ›kolik let mÃ¡te poÅ™Ã¡d stejnou barvu i dÃ©lku vlasÅ¯, mÃ¡te to v nÄ›jakÃ© smlouvÄ› ? NÄ›jak striktnÄ› ne, ale podle smlouvy s agenturou bych nemÄ›la projÃt vÃ½raznou zmÄ›nou. NemÄ›la jste nÄ›kdy chuÅ¥ nechat se tÅ™eba ostÅ™Ãhat nakrÃ¡tko ? MÄ›la, ale udÄ›lÃ¡m to, asi aÅ¾ s modelingem skonÄÃm. (smÄ›je se) A uÅ¾ mÃ¡te pÅ™edstavu, kdy skonÄÃte ? RÃ¡da bych pokraÄovala, dokud to pÅ¯jde, hroznÄ› mÄ› to bavÃ. UÅ¾ ale zaÄÃnÃ¡m i pÅ™emÃ½Å¡let, co potom.LÃbilo by se mi otevÅ™Ãt si v New Yorku umÄ›leckou galerii. Jak jste si uÅ¾ila lÃ©to ? SkvÄ›le. PodÃvala jsem se domÅ¯, kam se dostanu tak maximÃ¡lnÄ› jednou za pÅ¯l roku. Celou dobu jsem taky sedÄ›la doma a uÅ¾Ãvala si to. VidÄ›la jste v poslednÃ dobÄ› nÄ›jakÃ½ ÄeskÃ½ film ? Ani nevÃm. NejvÃc koukÃ¡m na zprÃ¡vy, hlavnÄ› veÄer, pÅ™es den jdu radÅ¡i ven se psy. Jak si udrÅ¾ujete vÃ¡hu ? V jÃdle se vÅ¯bec neomezuju, ale tak obden jsem v posilovnÄ› na hodinu, dvÄ›. VaÅ¡e pleÅ¥, to je asi dar pÅ™Ãrody ? To ano. VÅ¡ichni se vÅ¾dycky divÃ, kdyÅ¾ hodnÄ› fotÃm a stÅ™ÃdÃ¡m lÃÄenÃ, Å¾e moje pleÅ¥ zÅ¯stÃ¡vÃ¡ poÅ™Ã¡d ÄistÃ¡. co vÃ¡m v Americe nejvÃc chybÃ, v Äem se liÅ¡Ã od domova ? UrÄitÄ› mi chybÃ pÅ™Ãroa a ÄistÃ© ovzduÅ¡Ã. NÄ›kdy ÄeskÃ¡ mentalita. AmeriÄanÃ© jsou moc upovÃdanÃ a vÅ¡echno proÅ¾ÃvajÃ. Na druhou stranu je tam spousta vÄ›cÃ na vyÅ¡Å¡Ã Ãºrovni, obzvlÃ¡Å¡tÄ› v mÃ³dÄ›. ÄŒeÅ¡i nejsou tak odvÃ¡Å¾nÃ. KdyÅ¾ si tu nÄ›kdo vezme Å¡ÃlenÃ© rÅ¯Å¾ovÃ© triÄko a zelenÃ© kalhoty, vÅ¡ichni se za nÃm otoÄÃ. V Americe je to kaÅ¾dÃ©mu jedno. Jak vypadÃ¡ vÃ¡Å¡ bÄ›Å¾nÃ½ den ? KdyÅ¾ pracuju, vÄ›tÅ¡inou musÃm bÃ½t na place kolem devÃ¡tÃ©. Vstanu v Å¡est, udÄ›lÃ¡m si nÄ›jakÃ© ovesnÃ© vloÄky s oÅ™ÃÅ¡ky a ovocem, nebo vajÃÄka Äi jogurt. NÄ›kdy jeÅ¡tÄ› mezi snÃdanÃ a pracÃ zvlÃ¡dnu posilovnu. Na place mi pak dÄ›lajÃ make-up, vlasy, kolem jedenÃ¡ctÃ© zaÄÃnÃ¡me fotit, kolem druhÃ© je obÄ›d a tak v osm obvykle konÄÃme, nÄ›kdy ovÅ¡em taky ve dvÄ› rÃ¡no. A kdyÅ¾ mÃ¡te volnÄ›ji ? To si jdu nejradÅ¡i nÄ›kam sednout s kamarÃ¡dy. Zajdem na veÄeÅ™i, do kina nebo jen tak do parku pozorovat lidi. V Äem jste se tÅ™eba podle rodiÄÅ¯ za ta lÃ©ta mimo domov zmÄ›nila ? Asi jsem komunikativnÄ›jÅ¡Ã, nejsem uÅ¾ tolik stydlivÃ¡. JakÃ½ jste dostala v Å¾ivotÄ› nejhezÄÃ kompliment? JeÅ¾ÃÅ¡i, to nevÃm, asi Å¾e jsem fajn holka. UrÄitÄ› to nemÄ›lo nic spoleÄnÃ©ho s mÃ½m vzhledem. Asi se nÄ›komu lÃbilo, jakÃ¡ jsem uvnitÅ™. NejvÃc mÄ› potÄ›Å¡Ã, kdyÅ¾ mi nÄ›kdo Å™ekne, Å¾e jsem super, Å¾e nejsem nafoukanÃ¡.

Elle nâ€™a pas lâ€™air russe et, parfois, Ã§a la chiffonne. Avec ses longs cheveux chÃ¢tains, ses yeux bleus vraiment en amande et son nez bien droit, on la prend tantÃ´t pour une italienne, tantÃ´t pour une brÃ©silienne. Â«Pourtant, je suis une vraie russe !Â» Dâ€™ailleurs, elle dit aimer Paris (oÃ¹ elle vit) qui lui fait penser Ã Saint-PÃ©tersbourg (oÃ¹ elle file Ã la moindre occasion). Mais câ€™est vrai quâ€™elle nâ€™a rien dâ€™une poupÃ©e. Les traits conquÃ©rants, aisÃ©ment femme fatale, elle joue catÃ©gorie tempÃ©rament, pimentÃ© au mystÃ¨re. Jamais femme enfant, elle est tout de suite vamp ou altiÃ¨re. Pour son dernier dÃ©filÃ©, Alexander McQueen lâ€™a coiffÃ©e trÃ¨s court, bouclÃ©e comme une statue grecque. La beautÃ© exemplaire, rÃ©guliÃ¨re, celle Ã valeur iconique. Eugenia veut Ãªtre mannequin depuis toujours. NÃ©e Ã Kazan, sur les bords de la Volga, elle est la derniÃ¨re dâ€™une famille de quatre enfants. Elle nâ€™aime pas nager, mais a toujours couru trÃ¨s vite. Adolescente, elle regarde la haute couture en rÃªvant. Â«Cela voulait dire rencontres, voyages, ouvertureâ€¦ tout ce que jâ€™ai la chance dâ€™avoir aujourdâ€™hui.Â» Elle commence en Russie, puis est repÃ©rÃ©e par lâ€™agence Viva, qui la fait venir Ã Paris. 2002 est son annÃ©e magique : la couverture du Vogue Italie signÃ©e Steven Meisel puis la campagne Gucci, oÃ¹ elle est lâ€™alter ego en noir et blanc de sa compatriote Natalia Vodianova, propulsent sa cote. Elle sâ€™installe Ã Paris et commence sa sÃ©rie dâ€™allers-retours avec la Russie pour retrouver sa famille et son petit ami. Elle enchaÃ®ne campagnes et sÃ©ances de mode, mais prÃ©fÃ¨re les dÃ©filÃ©s : Â«Jâ€™aime le cÃ´tÃ© spectaculaire, la musique, la lumiÃ¨re, les flashsâ€¦ je me sens alors trÃ¨s sexy.Â» Question style, elle nâ€™y travaille pas vraiment, mais avoue une passion pour le shopping (juste aprÃ¨s les livres quâ€™elle emporte toujours avec elle). Ses â€“ trÃ¨s â€“ longues jambes ne supportent que les jeans Diesel, Miss Sixty ou les pantalons noirs Gucci classiquissimes. Elle aime les T-shirts dos nu Roland Mouret ou sa derniÃ¨re trouvaille : les imprimÃ©s petits chiens, Dolce & Gabbana. Si elle est de bonne humeur, elle enfile une robe jaune soleil Marni. Sur le visage, elle ne met jamais rien par-dessus sa crÃ¨me hydratante LancÃ´me. Et ne lui parlez pas de maquillage : Â«Je me sens bien comme je suis.Â» English translation by longjumelloise from TFS She doesn't look russian and it sometimes annoys her. With her long brown hair, her very "almond-shaped" blue eyes and her straight nose, she is taken either for an italian girl or a bresilian girl."But i am a real russian!". Besides, she says she likes Paris ( where she is living) which makes her think of St petersbourg (where she goes each time she is able to). But this is true she has nothing of a doll. Conqueror features, easely "fatal woman", she plays in the "temperament" category spiced with mystery. Never childish woman...**Never childishwoman, she is either vamp or proudy. For her last runway, alexander MacQueen has dressed her hair very short and very curly like a greek statue. Exemplar beauty, regular,the iconic beauty. Eugenia has always wanted to be a model. Born in Kazan, on the bords of la Volga,she is the last child of afour children family. She doesn't like swimming but she has always run very fast. As a teen she was watching haute couture, dreaming."It meant meeting people, travelling, â€¦ Everything I have luckily got today". She began in Russia and was scouted by Viva which makes her come to Paris. 2002 is her magic year: cover of Vogue Italie signÃ©e Steven Meisel and then the campagne Gucci, where she is the alter ego in black and white of her compatriot Natalia Vodianova, is risingher to the top. SHe sets her home in Paris and begins the series of forth and back to russia to bewith her family and bf. She does many campaigns and photoshoots but prefers the runway."I love the show,the music,the lights,the flashs..i 'mfeeling very sexy." She doesn't really work on her style but admits her passion for shopping (just behind the books,that she always take with her). Her very-long-legs can only bare diesel jeans,miss sixty or classics black gucci pants. She loves Roland mouret naked back T-shitrs or her last lucky find : littledogs prints D&G . If she is in a good mood ,she will wear a Marni yellow dress. She doesn't wear anything on her face but moisterized cream from LancÃ´me. Don't speak about make-up to her: "i feel good the way I amSource: vogue.fr Celebrities & Models http://www.zorpia.com/tortoisie/journal/1402873 Sat, 15 Oct 2005 21:25 EST
