      Alena Sinyavskaya featured “Model of the Week” and interviewed for 1968magazine



      1. How and when did you know you wanted to become a model?


      When I was 17 I was trying to find my way in life. So, one day I decided to go to a model school in Minsk (my native city), and after finishing it I understood that I like this activity and will do my best trying to work in modeling.


      2. Where were you discovered?


      In Minsk, Belarus.


      3. What do you like most about being a model?


      I like this kind of work, because it always requires me to be an active, strong, emotional and communicative person. Moreover, it helps me to fulfill myself, which is one of the most significant goals in my life. Besides I like travelling and meeting creative people who work in this sphere. Perfect work!



      4. What has been the greatest experience you have had so far?


      I’m trying to make every day as the greatest experience and don’t draw so much attention to different mishaps.


      5. What is your fashion dream?


      I won’t tell you… it’s a secret.


      6. What was your favorite city you traveled to work to?


      Beijing – so many great people in one place!




      7. Who is your fashion icon?


      Sasha Pivovarova. She is like an alien, I regard her as a unique model.


      8. What are your goals in the next 5 years as a model?


      I’ll do my best to achieve as much as possible. I don’t want to set any limits.


      9. What are your secrets for a fit and healthy body?


      Massage, sport gym and not eating sweets in the evening.





      10. What is your favorite part of your body?


      I can feature any part of my body that I want, so I don’t have any preferences.


      11. What makes you feel sexy?


      Mirrors and loved men.


      12. Is the fashion world what you expected it to be?


      I can’t really judge, as I don’t have much experience. But at the moment I can say that I feared it would be worst.






      13. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?


      Before, my studies at law-college took a lot of my time, but now I’ve almost finished them, so I’m very glad! When I have free time I prefer meeting with friends, having fun and communication above all, attending different classes, courses, setting goals and achieving them.


      14. What would you ask yourself that we haven’t asked you in this interview?


      Are you crazy? Yes, I am.

              Daria Kashirina Interview for Allaboutmodels

              Daria Kashirina “Just by looking at me people may think that I’m only a pretty face …”




              Daria Kashirina for All About Models.


              by Omario Harfouch & Allegra Alvarez


              Today at All About Models, We’re so happy to introduce you our 16 years old Daria Kashirina, she’s definitely a stunner, we can’t get enough of looking at her, her beauty is way too captivating ! We can say that this russian beauty has a bright future ! Despite of her 170 cm’s height Daria Kashirina is a total sensation, All About Models usually doesn’t like to compare models but let’s just say it :
              ” She can be the next Kate Moss! Oh yeah! ”


              We had a quick chat with this up and coming model and All About Models would like to share with its readers:


              Tell us about yourself.


              I’m a real workoholic. I can’t sit on one place and do nothing. I love dancing, drawing and I hope I’ll learn more than 5 languages. Just by looking at me people may think that I’m only a pretty face but others like my best friends know that I’m also a brain!


              How did you get into modeling? Were you scouted or did you go to see an agency?


              I started modeling at 15. I decided to go to the modeling school by Slava Zaytsev just for beginning. For that day I’ve never minded to be a successful model. Now my agency in Russia is Casta and I’m scouted at Metromodels.


              What is your favorite or most exiting aspect about being a model?


              My favorite aspect is runway, because when you are on the stage wearing your high heels you feel yourself like a Goddess. It’s like a theater. The theater for Goddess!



              What are your goals as a model?


              I haven’t set any goals yet, but I know that I won’t give up, I’m only 16!


              What do you not like about modeling, any aspects of modeling that you would love to change if you could?


              My least favorite aspect is that models have to give up on studies, most of the time!


              How would your friends describe you?


              They would describe as stylish, beautiful and expressive :)


              What’s your favorite music?


              My favorie music is which I listen in my dad’s car. I don’t know what it is, but it is so pleasant it helps me feel the comfort, love and safety.



              What do you do to stay in shape?


              To stay in shape… I sometimes run and every week go to the dance club. I’ve been doing it for 8 years It’s perfect when you feel only your body and it’s unbelievable to be in harmony with nature.Physical exercises motivate me to achieve my aim.


              If you could live anywhere on this awesome planet where would you build your dream home?


              Definitely a SeaSide house. in my opinion, ocean is the best thing I’v ever seen!


              What do you think of All About Models?


              All about models took an important place in my life. It is a great network where people pray attention to each others, where everyone loves to share opinions and conversations. Thank you for all! With love, Daria.

                  Top 5 Myths about Modeling

                  Myth #1: Runway jobs at fashion weeks are an important source of income for fashion models.




                  [caption id="attachment_2220" align="aligncenter" width="293" caption="Andrew Tolstov for Dior Homme,  Milano 2010"]Andrew Tolstov for Dior Homme 2010 Milano[/caption]


                  Fact #1: Catwalks are paid poorly. They are promotional in value as they merely create a demand for the model with the big brands.


                   -----------------------------------------------------------


                  Myth #2: Cover shoots for top magazines such as Vogue, Cosmopolitan or Elle are paid well.


                  Katya Radetskaya for Metro Models Zurich (11)
                  Chloe Radetskaya for Cosmopolitan Russia, January 2012

                  Fact #2: Models receive peanuts for cover shoots. Their value is purely promotional, creating a strong demand.


                   -----------------------------------------------------------


                  Myth #3: Models are intellectually challenged.


                  Olga Palkina Metro Model agency Zurich (3)
                  Graduate student Olga Palkina for Metro Models

                  Fact #3: A large number of models actually study part-time and have an above average grasp of geography, foreign languages and cultures due to extensive traveling.


                   -----------------------------------------------------------


                  Myth #4: Models are slim and tall because the fashion industry imposes an image of beauty on society.


                  [caption id="attachment_634" align="aligncenter" width="293" caption="Daria Kashirina for Metro Models Zurich"]Daria Kashirina for Metro Model agency Zurich (38)[/caption]

                  Fact #4: One of the main reason why models need to be slim and tall is that clothes look much better when falling loosely from the shoulders.


                   -----------------------------------------------------------


                  Myth #5: Models are always gorgeous.


                  [caption id="attachment_2223" align="aligncenter" width="451" caption="Polas of Barbora Mudrochova for Metro Models"]Polas of Barbora Mudrochova for Metro Models[/caption]

                   

                  Fact #5: When booking a model without a casting, agents have long relied on snaps, digitals or polaroids. They show the model without make-up and expose any flaws ruthlessly.

                    METRO Models Opens a Men's Division

                    Metro Models Opens a Men’s Division


                    ZURICH, Switzerland, January 27, 2012 – Metro Model Management announce the recent opening of a Men’s division of fashion models. The strategic decision was taken last week, as management anticipates strong demand from the world’s fashion markets. Ever since setting up office in 2010, Metro Models have worked closely with fashion brands, casting directors and partner agencies around the world.


                    Significantly, the newly appointed Head of Men’s division, Alexandra Sergeevna, brings years of experience in scouting to the company, and her bi-cultural background is likely to facilitate the transition of the mainly Russian models to the Western and Asian markets. As a boutique agency, Metro continues their strategy of promoting only a select number of promising models to the fashion industry, offering complete career management and worldwide placement. The head of Men’s Division confirms that “Metro represents under a dozen male models, all of whom are currently placed in the world’s top fashion markets. Denis Soloviev is in New York, Konstantin Gertleyn in Milan, Vlad Yukhnel in Hong Kong, Andrey in Seoul and Artur in Singapore.” Headquartered in Zurich, the Swiss agency’s move builds on their launch of a strong Women’s Division in early 2010.


                    Videos, photos and media coverage of Metro’s work can be seen at www.metromodels.ch/blog. For more information please visit www.metromodels.ch

                      Daria Anisimova for Metro Model agency Zurich (4)

                      1. How and when did you know you wanted to become a model?
                      Well, my friends and me were sitting in the cafe and some guy came up asking if I’d want to become a model, and then, a few months later there was my first modeling trip.

                      2. What do you like most about being a model?
                      Being a model gives me a really good opportunity to travel a lot and meet lots of interesting people. Also, it makes me feel like in a movie or the theatre because, for example, when you do a shoot, it’s always like acting to be a new hero, and I like doing this! It’s amazing!

                      Daria Anisimova for Metro Model agency Zurich (17)

                      3. What has been the greatest experience you have had so far?
                      Each of my trips has been like a part of my life, and every time it’s been an incredible experience in every job. But, I can also tell about a bad experience, which happened to me about a month ago in Milan, when somebody stole my wallet! That’s really sad, but it’s part of life.

                      4. What is your fashion dream?
                      A dream is like a wish, and must not be told to anyone…

                      Daria Anisimova Metro Models Zurich

                      5. What was your favorite city you traveled to work to?
                      I like Italy, Singapore and I’ve also been to Greece that is also nice.

                      6. Who is your fashion icon?                                                                                                                                                                       Amazing Natalia Vodianova because she is the one!

                      7. What are your goals in the next 5 years as a model?
                      We never know how it’s going to go, but hopefully you will see my goals, I’m pretty sure.

                      Daria Anisimova for Metro Model agency Zurich (13)

                      8. What are your secrets for a fit and healthy body?
                      Hmm, not needing to eat too much and yoga!!!

                      9. What is your favorite part of your body?
                      Legs, lips and eyes.

                      10. What makes you feel sexy?
                      Well, when I catch men’s eyes on me, yes, I think that’s what makes me feel sexy.

                      Daria Anisimova for Metro Model agency Zurich (8)

                      11. What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?
                      Now, I’m trying to finish my studies and it’s kind of complicated to do anything else, but I manage. Well, I like to spend time with my family, with my friends, go to café, clubs, the cinema, read interesting books; it’s like everybody else, I like to do this simple stuff! I just enjoy everyday!

                      12. What would you ask yourself that we haven’t asked you in this interview?
                      Which extreme sport can you imagine doing, but will never do?
                      One of them is skydiving, I think. It drives me crazy just thinking about it. Though I’m really scared, I’m pretty sure that it makes you experience life differently. Probably one day I’ll try it but I’m not ready yet.

                        Die 22-jährige Anastasia aus Halle/Saale, die jetzt in München wohnt, ist bereits Model und wurde für das neue VOX-Format gescoutet. Dieser Schritt bedeutet für sie Nervenkitzel. Ihr Traumjob als Model wäre eine große Kampagne, zum Beispiel bei Prada. Gute Voraussetzung dafür ist ihre mit 1.82 Meter beachtliche Körpergröße. Mit ihrem romantischen Kleidungsstil (Lieblingskleidungsstück: Oversize-Blazer) will die verantwortungsbewusste und perfektionistische junge Frau den Titel holen. Frei nach dem Motto "Das Leben ist ein Picknick" geht Anastasia ihren eigenen Weg und macht das, was ihr gefällt. So sind ihre Lieblingsspeisen Sushi und Cola-Light. Generell schwört sie aber auf gesunde Ernährung und ausreichend Schlaf als Basis einer erfolgreichen Modelkarriere. Dafür betreibt sie in ihrer Freizeit auch Fitness-Sport und Bikram-Yoga. Regelmäßige Spaziergänge nutzt sie zum Stressabbau. Denn wenn Anastasia angespannt ist, neigt sie dazu, an den Fingernägeln zu kauen. Bei Lampenfieber in der Show atmet sie tief durch und stellt sich auf das Schlechteste ein. Das ist sicher unnötig: Mit ihrer Glücksbringer-Kette im Gepäck wird bestimmt nichts schiefgehen. Auch Jurorin Eva Padberg glaubt, dass Anastasia das Zeug zum "perfekten Model" hat: "Sie hat die richtigen Maße und ich mag ihr Styling sehr. Wenn sie etwas mehr aus sich rauskommt, könnte sie ein sehr starker Typ sein."
