Model of the DAY : Stasya Korotkova

Measurements :

Height: 174

Bust – 85

Waist – 59

Hips – 85

Mother agency : Tann Model Management (Russia, St. Petersburg)

AAM: How and when did you start modeling?
Stasya:I was discovered about a year ago by a photographer Sonya Kudeeva. After that I started getting TFP-offers from other photographers. I was just acceptimg them willingly and my book was gradually growing bigger and bigger. Then I was noticed by the agent of TANN Model Management. And so here I am.

AAM: Do you remember your first casting? Tell me how it was.
Stasya:I’m a new face. I haven’t attended any castings yet. But I bet I will be very excited! And a bit nervous for sure.

AAM: In which countries have you managed to work? Where did you like it most?
Stasya:I haven’t done modeling abroad yet. But I hope that once I will get an opportunity to work in Paris. I always wanted to visit this city.

AAM: How would you describe yourself?
Stasya:I am a contemplator that is trying willingly to find a suitable language for self-expression.

AAM: What are in your opinion the best things in the modeling world?
Stasya:The best thing in the modeling world is an opportunity to meet fascinating people. Most of the photographers and stylists I’ve met are big friends of mine now. I think each photo session has enriched me in a certain spiritual way through interactions with people whose lives are perpetual self-expression. Together we were trying to create something beautiful and pure. What can be better than this?

AAM: Please tell us what was the last job that had made the greatest impression on you?
Stasya:The first thing that comes to mind is a photo-session in a forest. We’ve spent the whole day taking pictures, walking in the woods, capturing light, changing films and neither I nor the photographer felt tired. It was such a harmonious day.

AAM: Have you done any fashion shows? Are you nervous before the show starts? And how do you feel when you walk on the runway?
Stasya:Unfortunately I haven’t done any fashion shows yet. But I am looking forward to it!

AAM: Are there any models that inspire you?
Stasya:Freja Beha inspires me a lot. She has a very strong individuality that never fades away. And I am fond of her beauty with a slight touch of androgyny.

AAM: What are your favorite sports, how much do you exercise and how do you manage your diet to stay in shape?
Stasya:To be perfectly frank I have always been skinny no matter what I eat. I’m sorry to disappoint you but I take no steps to stay fit. But I like dancing. I attended ballet-school for a rather long time.

AAM: Do you have any beauty secrets that you would like to share with us?
Stasya:Live in harmony with yourself and fall in love. As to me, that’s the only true beauty secret.

AAM: Tell us a little more about your hobbies. What are you doing when you’re not working?
Stasya:I adore cinema. It is probably the mainspring of my inspiration. I love reading a lot, I am particularly interested in the mythology of different cultures. Well, and I also study economics in University but it’s rather hard to call it a hobby.

AAM: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Stasya:I have absolutely no idea! You never know what will happen tomorrow. I can only hope that I will be as happy as I am now.

AAM: What do you think of All About Models, please be specific
Stasya: Oh, it’s a very nice resource. I find All About Models informative and convenient. Good luck to you!

AAM: How did you get into modeling? Were you scouted or did you go to see an agency?
Victoria:My mother agent found me while I was working in a local grocery store in trondheim, norway. I had just started working there and I remember I noticed that she was looking at me for a while..

AAM: If you could live anywhere on this awesome planet where would you build your dream home?
Viktoria:In New York City, a beautiful house in a deserted island would drive me mad after a week.

AAM: How do you spend your days when you’re not modeling?

AAM: Welcome, dear Chloë . I think everyone is interested to know what’s new in your career the past months?
Chloë:I took the past show season off and I’ve been traveling around a little bit, enjoying myself. I’ve still been doing editorial work though. I look forward to next season!

AAM: Chloe, do you still remember your first casting ? Tell me how it was.
Chloë:It was my first modeling experience outside of Sweden and I had just touched ground in London. I was given a thick A-Z London book and 11 appointments. I had no clue what I was doing, where I was going and if I would make it to any of them. My first casting was for an editorial and I actually got the job!

AAM: Work implies frequent travel. What do you do during a flight ?
Chloë:I usually try to get around finishing things I should have done ages ago, such as emails. But mostly I just listen to music and play games. My biggest obsession is a game called “Rat On A Scooter”. I try to refill my iPod with new music as often as possible, that way I’m never bored on flights.

AAM: Tell me please, what kind of work have left on you the strongest impression ?
Chloë:The kind of shoots where you are really creating a story and have to get into a very specific mood. Certain runway shows have left very strong impressions on me, as well. The atmosphere at shows is so captivating. The Marc Jacobs show is definitely one of those shows. It’s so grand!

AAM: Everyone knows that shooting for magazines is one the most difficult parts of modeling. Tell me how this is happening in your case?
Chloë:It’s difficult, because you can master a walk, but delivering on a shoot is more preassured in a way. It’s not something you can completely learn. It has to come naturally.

AAM: We can hear a lot of stories, about models who have self-esteem problems since childhood concerning their height slimness. Did your ever feel uncomfortable about these.
Chloë:Definitely, yeah. I have always been so much taller than people my age. I have been this height since age 12. I’ve always been the skinniest and tallest one, everywhere I went. Kids would give me a hard time because of my looks when I was younger, but I’ve never felt uncomfortable with myself. I’ve learned that this is the way I am, very tall and skinny.

AAM: We all know that the designers, photographers, stylists are sometimes very difficult people. There have been stories in your case when you could not find a working understanding with the team?
Chloë: I’m not at all under this impression. I think that most people will be nice to you if you are nice to them. Being positive and friendly gets you far. I reckon that goes for all people, not only people in the fashion industry.
One fun experience I’ve had was when I did a shoot in Tokyo, and pretty much no one spoke a word of English. Still, with a good will and some gesticulations, everything went on smoothly.

AAM: You did fashion shows. Are you nervous before the show starts ? And how do you feel when you walk on the runway ?
Chloë:I am always a bit nervous before shows, no matter! It’s a part of it, no? When I am on the runway I am in my own world and I don’t think of anything else. It’s a powerful feeling, being up there, as well as a good adrenalinkick.

AAM: Are there any models that inspire you ?
Chloë:The ones that work hard and know how to seperate modeling from other things in life. I think that’s important.

AAM: What are your favorite sports, how much do you exercise and how do you manage your diet to stay in shape?
Chloë: I don’t do any sports actually, and I have never excersised in my life.
My diet is to include as many calories as possible in my food, and have as much food as I can. My metabolism is abnormally fast and allows me to eat all the time. I almost wish it wasn’t that crazy.

AAM: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Chloë:Impossible to say at the moment. I don’t even know where I will be in a month from now. I see myself at a place I like and enjoy.

AAM: What do you think of All About Models?
Chloë:It’s very new to me! Seems like a fun community!
