The interview
x
PONY RYDER: When and how did you start modeling?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I started modeling when I was 16 years in Latvia. I went to a model school where we learnt catwalking. Then my agency gave me a casting for Paris agency "Metropolitan" , they liked me and I started.

PONY RYDER: But you are with Silent now..
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I changed agency in Paris now I’m with Silent before I was with Metropolitan and my mother agency as well before it was Gints Bude now its ALmodelsNY.

PH: Driu & Tiago

PONY RYDER: What is the hardest thing for you as a model?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I like modeling , so it's easy for me , but sometimes when I’m tired it's hard to do a shoot and look perfect and show my expressions , or during the fashion week wake up early if I finish my castings and fittings late. But I have one day off and again I love my job.

PH: James Mahon

PONY RYDER: What would you be if you were not a model?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I would be studying at my high school and then I would go to the university. I love math so I would be doing something with this.

Paris

PONY RYDER: What do you like about Paris, any particular place?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I love Paris, I think it's amazing , and so beautifu. When the weather is good I love staying with friends in a park near the Eiffel tower, or just walk near Louvre, and in Paris I have my best friend and sometimes we go around Paris with a scooter, it's so funny. Paris is one of my favorite places, I would like to live there.

Runway

PONY RYDER: How did you feel when you walked the runway for the first time?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I was a little bit scared, but when I went to the podium I started to feel that I like it , when people watch at me and all photographers take pictures . Now I love this feeling and, of course, I’m not scared anymore, and all the time I want do more and more shows .

PONY RYDER: What style on runways do you like the most?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: In all collections I can find something that I like and every season it's something new. If it's couture I love wearing beautiful dresses, or something really crazy.

PONY RYDER: What is your personal style?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: It depends, sometimes it's jeans with a funny t-shirt and jacket and flat shoes or it's a dress with heels.

PONY RYDER: Which girls are you having most fun with, when you are backstage?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: My very good friend is Anya Kazakova. I would love to do all shows with her. But on the shows I have fun with everyone. It's only the people I know, it's good to make new friends .

PONY RYDER: Do you like doing editorials more, or runway?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: I prefer runway - it is faster than editorial, but in pictures you can show yourself and it's something new all the time , new expressions, every shooting gives something new for me and my book and it's important. When u work for good magazines, you can feel everyone is so professional and then it's easier and interesting. And of course, next time I will do it better.

PONY RYDER: What is your favorite picture of yourself?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: From runways I like Jil Sander pictures and Givenchy. I think I look good on them. From magazines, it's Italian Amica from April 2009. I don’t do a lot of magazines for the moment so a lot of my favorite pictures will come in future.

PH: Rick Shaine, STY: Melanie Buchhave for Cover Magazine: June/July 2009

PONY RYDER: How do you stay in shape?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: Before I didn't do anything , but now I try not to eat a lot of chocolate, and eat more fruits and vegetables and when I’m at home I go to the gym.
PONY RYDER: Do you have a beauty secret?
YULIA LEONTIEVA: No, I don’t have one. I love my natural "beauty" and I can say thank you to my mom and dad. I think everyone needs to be loved as they are.

I am in love with all your writing here. This should be part of wikipedia. :)..

I'm from Malaysia, and there are few malaysian models that successfully penetrate into international market like Ling Tan and ... Gwen Lu, but as i scrolled through sites of Malaysia' agencies I was absolutely flabbergasted looking at their talents, nothing like any international models.. all are slightly huge and short.

I hope with blog like yours, it could educate modeling agency owners in Malaysia.

Thank you for sharing everything..

When she combs up her hair and it is tied up tightly, she looks cool especially.

The sexiest man for me?
difficult question,,,.
Well, now,,,"Sean O'pry with beard face",,,haha;D
You?

I think the booking of Prada Boy is important now and will be more so, as men's fashion scene is rising more and more.
Like Prada exclusive Eddie Klint,,,for example.

Tatar(s) is the name of an ethnic group.

Love your interview with Yulia; she seems like such a wonderful, down-to-earth model who hasn't been jaded by the industry - wonderful. You must have the most amazing time interviewing these people!
Also, thanks for commenting on my blog! I liked Lake Bell's outfit because it was "too much" - when so many other people looked boring at the award ceremony, she really stood out! I do actually really like what she is wearing though =)
Adoring your blog!

I find this girl especially astonishing! She has beautiful face matched with amazing figure. But most of all, her hair is perfect.

Juliette said...

She is one of my favorite newcomers. I'm so sad because of Miu Miu campaign. I guess that Muccia din't had enough money. I see no point in only Holmes being the face. I actually want to see catreses only in movies.

axel018 said...

is she new miu miu face? that would be exciting.
IS SHE IN THE CAST?

luis said...
