Patrick Kafka

@ SOUL ARTIST NEW YORK @ MANAGEMENT MILANO @ NEW MADISON PARIS
@ WIENER MODELS AUSTRIA m/a

EXCLUSIVE

Favorite place in Vienna.

PATRICK KAFKA: It's a small tower on a hill in the woods, where you have an amazing few over Vienna and all around.

Best place for a date.

PATRICK KAFKA: The tower I said before. The view of the sunset up there is amazing.

Best restaurant:
PATRICK KAFKA: Not the restaurants you find in a tourist guide! Vienna is full of amazing food you just need to know where.

Best Club.

PATRICK KAFKA: For my music taste it's the club 'Flex' at the Donau River.

Good Gym.

PATRICK KAFKA: I really don't no, I've never been to a gym in Vienna, I have my own at home.

Best place to enjoy the city without spending a cent.

PATRICK KAFKA: You just walk around into the old center city. I love to watch the tourists there with my girlfriend.

What to avoid in Vienna.

PATRICK KAFKA: Don't mess with the police!!:)

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: model beauty talk

2012-01-17T12:16:00.001Z

EXCLUSIVE

PH. Bruno Barbazan

DIANA TIMOFEEVA

@ MAJOR Paris
@ NEXT Milano @ Modelwerk Germany

PR: I can tell you that you are almost unrecognizable from the beginning of your career to now! How is that even possible?

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I think everything changes over time, it is natural. If you work hard you will change if a good way...

PR: Introduce us a bit with your model development.

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I was born in a small town in the South of Ukraine. There wasn't much fashion around. But my parents always taught me that anything is possible, as long as you are willing to work hard.

I was born in a small town, and I found it a bit boring growing up. I like places where people and things move quickly.

The industry welcomed me at quite a young age. In the beginning I was working in Tokyo, which gave me a huge advantage. It taught me how to "get the job done" correctly. Japanese people are so precise, and emphasize detail. It made me a bit of a perfectionist when it came to my own work.

In Paris I was introduced to the creative aspect of the business. I think some of the very best artists live and work here. Major Paris has always been very supportive network, and helped me make the right career decisions.

PH. Bruno Barbazan

PR: What makes you feel better in the morning when you just feel down?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Fresh orange juice and 10-15 minutes on the sun always make me feel better. Also exercise. It is important to keep your mind and body in shape.

PR: Breakfast.
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I like eggs and bacon for breakfast; I always have a cup of coffee with milk, too.

Exercise.
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I try to exercise as often as possible; I like to run on the treadmill. I also take a few minutes every day to stretch my body, even if I don't get a chance to go to the gym.

PR: Do you drink proteins?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I do drink protein cocktail every time before my work out.

PR: Well…do you have a favorite flavor?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Yes, I really like Cappuccino Flavor made by Herbalife!

PR: Do you avoid carbs?DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I don't avoid them, because I simply can't!! I love pretty much anything that is sweet! I eat it all, and then I feel guilty… :)

PR: Do you go for fruit desserts or chocolate ones? DIANA TIMOFEEVA: To be completely honest with you I go for anything, if its good. Paris is the best place to have pastries. I love Mille-Feuille, apple tart, eclair, banquettes de fraises des bois, rum-baba, macaroons…. I can eat them anytime!

PR: What is more important to you: to have a skinny body or a well, bombshell like, fit body? DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I don't think that body type is important at all, it is just a matter of taste, but what important is to have a fit, healthy body, which can be a struggle if you live in a big city.

Body wash & body lotion.

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I like Molton Brown Travel-reviving Cempaka Bath & Shower.

Twist magazine

PR: Who is by far your favorite hairdresser? DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Jean-Luc Fouillade, he is an amazing colorist! I love what he does to my hair and there is always great atmosphere at Delphine's Courteille Studio 34 in Paris.

PR: Is he responsible for your new look?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Yes, I usually tell him in which direction I want to go, and the rest I leave up to him, he knows what I like, and what looks good!

Hair care product.

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Christophe Robin Shade Variation Care in Baby Blond, I can't live without it.

Moisturizer. DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Avene Cream for a sensitive skin

Face wash. DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Once in a while, i wash my face with Avene Clearance Face Wash that contains no soap, and I use a scrub once a week, but most of the time, I just rinse it with warm water only.

Favorite skincare products?DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I know you probably have heard about this product a million times, but it is Crealine from Bioderma

Massage. DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I like Thai massage!

Favorite beauty product.DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I always carry Thermal water with me. My dermatologist recommends to use it throughout the day, to keep your skin hydrated. I usually buy Avene one.

Diana's Make Up Kit

PR: When did you start using make up?

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: When I was a child, I used to play with my mother's make up all the time. I don't wear heavy make-up in my daily life, I put black eye liner during the day, and if I want to go out at night, I usually just add a bit of mascara and a lip gloss.

Makeup bag.
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Other than the mascara ( Lancome Hypnose Drama ) and an eye liner ( Lancome Le Crayon Khol ), you can find a Shu Uemura Face Architect Foundation.

PR: Every model likes Shu Uemura! Is it that good?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Yes. I was introduced to this brand on my first trip to Japan, and I have been a fan ever since.

I especially like their lipsticks and eyelashes, and of course their cleansing oil is the best way to remove heavy make-up.

PR: Do you ever find a product on the set that you just must have for personal use?
DIANA TIMOFEEVA: Revlon Equave 2 Phase Hydro Nutritive Conditioner, it is the best product if you need to remove hair extensions.

PR: What did you notice from the make up artist at the shows, what do they usually use… How do they manage to make skin looking so fresh?

DIANA TIMOFEEVA: It seems like a lot of them have an Embryolisse lait-crème concentré at their station…

Fragrance. DIANA TIMOFEEVA: I am using Chanel The Vert

Beauty advice.
DIANA TIMOFEEVA:I think it is important to work on your personality just as much as your physics, beauty is first of all - an essence….

ELISE CROMBEZ: Q and A

2012-01-11T12:36:00.000Z

ELISE CROMBEZ

@ DNA NY

Steven Meisel for Prada

Facial

ELISE CROMBEZ: I see Isabelle at Advanced Skincare in New York. She will give you the care and make over of your life, not to mention make you look 10 years younger.

Hairdresser

ELISE CROMBEZ: I go to Román Salon on La Cienega Boulevard in West Hollywood. Bethany is the girl to go to.

Lipstick

ELISE CROMBEZ: The Shiseido crayon. It stays on no matter what. I also wear good old tinted Labello. Putting it on brings back so many childhood memories.

Mascara

ELISE CROMBEZ: Shiseido is subtle for the day and Covergirl adds volume for the evening.

Perfume

ELISE CROMBEZ: My all-time favourite is Hermès Un Jardin en Méditerranée.

Beauty essentials

ELISE CROMBEZ: Hand cream, mascara and moisturiser. I use Dr Hauschka, Jurlique and La Roche-Posay. It's important to switch it up so my skin doesn't get used to just one type of moisturiser.

Guilty pleasure

ELISE CROMBEZ: Singing along to cheesy pop songs in the car (they are so easy to remember and in LA I spend so much time in the car).

Biggest luxury

ELISE CROMBEZ: Half a day at the Korean Spa, getting scrubbed down and passing out in the crystal sauna.

If you could only shop in one store

ELISE CROMBEZ: Creatures of Comfort in Los Angeles. I die and go to heaven when I'm in that shop.

KATI NESCHER

@ DNA NY @ VIVA

@ am Model Mgmt Germany (m/a)

Givenchy S/S 2012

What sort of personality does one need to have to be a successful model?
KATI NESCHER: I think in this business, it’s really important to be open, friendly, and able to concentrate well. And to try to be yourself. Also, don’t forget it’s a lot of work around you. Everyone around you — the designers, makeup artists, hair stylists, and nail artists — are all really important, too. And you should know what you’re doing and just be knowledgeable, able to take direction from photographers and stylists and understand what they mean.

What is your fitness regimen like?
KATI NESCHER: I like to swim and jog. I prefer the sea, but a swimming pool is good enough. And of course, running everywhere with my child, playing and riding a bicycle.

What is your favorite meal to eat?
KATI NESCHER: Good, fresh salad with grilled shrimp. And brownies, sometimes. Since I’ve been in New York, I’ve been drinking hot chocolate with Nutella every day. I’m crazy about it.

What’s your diet and fitness regime like?

SHANINA SHAIK: "I do … Zumba. I like doing Zumba. I only do it like, once a week. If I did itmore often, I would be very skinny. It’s like intense cardio with the dancing.I actually prefer to do stuff outside the gym, like running on the West SideHighway, and jump rope. I do love my food; don’t get me wrong. I’m a bigdessert fan. I love chocolate and chocolate cake. But my diet regime is a lotof chicken and fish. I mix it with vegetables. And then, I love pasta, but onlyevery now and then. I stopped drinking soda three years ago and I never drink coffee." (The Cut Interview: Link)

Valentina Zelyaeva: BEAUTY REGIME @ OYL

x

VALENTINA ZELYAEVA: The more I learn about nutrition and beauty, The more I come to understand that the secret to looking radiant is TO DO MORE INTERNALLY THEN EXTERNALLY!

x

Meaning, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, make your daily meals at least 80% or more raw – less cooking, boiling, heating, microwaving, frying your food, -drink more water, take high quality oils as a supplement ( choose one of the following: raw coconut oil, organic olive oil, hemp seed oil, flaxseed oil, avocado).

x

Externally your beauty regime shouldn’t be complicated at all! I got rid of bunch of expensive creams. I used to spend crazy amount of money on commercial beauty products.

x

Today, I replaced them all with just a few products that I found work best for me:

Raw coconut oil – Coconut oil is the best body moisturizer, occasionally I use it on my face (1 drop of coco oil is all you need for an entire face).

Raw honey - I use organic raw honey as my daily healing mask.

Cleanser - I just discovered black Japanese soap “Deitanseki Clay Soap”.

I found it while visiting Morikami Japanese Garden in Miami. It deeply hydrates skin. Does not clog pores , gently cleanse face, especially the pores, with micro-porous active ingredients. Enriched with Kaolin Clay and selected Carbon Powder The Bentonite helps your skin retain its natural moisture.

Face Moisturizer – I have a couple of different face creams. I switch between them all the time: “EMINENCE” Rose Moisturizer and “Dr. Perricone” Hypoallergenic Nourishing Moisturizer .

Thermal water - I wash my face with Thermal Water, also use it as a toner before applying moisturizer.

Face scrub - I love “REN” face scrub.

Clay mask - Again, “REN” clay mask is amazing. Or you can purchase any clay mask at your healthy food store.

Pineapple (you can substitute it to strawberry or papaya) - I always have a fresh pineapple at home. I use it as a peeling mask. Fruit acid “eat away” dead skin cells leaving your skin looking fresh.

How to use pineapple as a peeling mask: Take a piece of pineapple, rub it all over the face. Leave it for 5 minutes. Rinse. Spray Thermal water following by moisturizer or coconut oil.

RENATO FERREIRA: the interview

2011-12-23T10:16:00.001Z

EXCLUSIVE

Renato Ferreira: "Viva Brazil"

Ph: Rick Day

RENATO FERREIRA

@ 40 GRAUS (m/a) @ MAJOR NY @ I Model MGMT (Canada)

Ph: Joseph Bleu

PR:Renato! How are you?

RENATOFERREIRA: Hey, I’m fine thanks.

PR:Where will you spend Christmas?

RENATOFERREIRA: Back home, in Rio.

PR: Lucky you. So let's start with the beginning Renato: How did you getscouted?

RENATOFERREIRA: It has been a while, so let's rewind to 2 years and a half. Backthen I was doing high school in Canada and also I wanted to be a bodybuilder,be just like Arnold was, one day, but with bigger legs. Hahaha.

PR:HAHAHAHAHHAHA!

Made in Brazil

RENATOFERREIRA: I didn’t do much else besidesnot skipping any meals, always eating 30grams of protein with meals, tooksupplements like Multi-Vitamins and I would leave high school and go straightto workout 6 days a week, no drinking, no smoking, neither I would go out morethan once a month so I could rest properly (10hours daily).

SoI went back home and kept the same routine for about 8 months and during thisperiod my best friend Rodrigo Zaccaro would be insisting for me to try out tobe a model since my body was huge and we imagined that is great for a model.

Iwould always be procrastinating and after 6 months of the same story he went tomy place and told me he wouldn’t leave until I found a modeling agency throughthe internet.

We saw on the top of the search 40 Degrees Models. Both of us have heardof it, so I sent them some pictures, they booked an appointment so SergioMattos could see me and that’s how everything started.

PR:Definitely great choice of agency! But what did you do before modeling? Whatwas your life before?

RENATOFERREIRA: From 15 to 17 I would be goingto high school in Brazil, and the remaining time off school I just wanted to goto parties with my friends hoping to get lucky with girls.

PR:LOL

RENATO FERREIRA: At 18 I did a student exchange program which brought meto Calgary Canada, when I decided to workout to be huge so when I would go backhome it would be easier to get lucky with the ladies.

Didn’t turn out this way since I got agirlfriend in Canada and I’m with her up to this day.

PR:Awwwww… Where do you spend most of your timenow, what's your main market?

RENATOFERREIRA: My first market abroad Brazilwas NYC, I knew my portfolio wasn’t good enough back then but I always aimedvery high to where I wanted to be.

After that I did a couple trips back homeand a tour around Asia building up my portfolio.

Now I’m in Canada but nextyear I will be back to the USA where I believe is the place to be for modeling.

by Fabien Montique

PR: Of course. You mentioned that you are from Rio? We actually never wentthere. Do people really dance on the streets there? Do you dance yourself?

RENATO FERREIRA: Yes, I’m Carioca da gema. We dance on the streetsduring Carnaval or when drunk, but usually it is like everywhere else (withnice butts and mini skirts everywhere around). I don’t dance well, but I try. Idid a dance show which had a very nice choreography back in high school, herein Canada, that was fun.

PR:Was your last cover of Junior magazine shot in Rio or somewhere else?

RENATOFERREIRA: Actually Junior is not my latest cover, I did a cover for OutLooksMagazine, December issue, here in Canada. Yes, that was shot in Arpoador beachby Lucio Luna.

Men's Health Malaysia January 201

PR: Your cover of Men's Health is amazing... Let’s talk about that. It's H.O.T.

RENATOFERREIRA: Thank you so much, MH cover is the one I liked at most. When Istarted modeling I made a goal that one day I would be in that magazine, I havebeen a reader for a long time.

Ph: Samuel Zakuto

PR:Do you feel relaxed posing in underwear and swimwear?

RENATO FERREIRA: I feel good posing in swimwear or underwear, I havenever been self conscious about my body, actually when there is more peopleinvolved in the shooting I feel even better for some reason.

PR:How do you pay attention to stay healthy?

RENATOFERREIRA: I’ve done a nutrition courseso I know what to eat, when to eat it and the quantity. Also I’ve been helpingpeople that are important to me with nutrition guidance in my spare time.

PR: Which food supplements are you taking?

RENATOFERREIRA:

Mysupplements are:

Vitamin D,
Glutamine,
Taurine, Multi-Vitamin,
Protein shakes,
BCAA,
Fatty acids,
Glucosamine,
Chondroitin,
MSM.

I take them when I see thatthe diet I had or will have on that specific day doesn’t have enough of thesesubstances to satisfy the needs of my body.

Major Models

PR: You seem to be quite passionate about food, film and health. Will yourcareer go in one of those directions after modeling?

RENATOFERREIRA: I wish I had contacts in the film makingindustry, but I don’t have any so far. We all know that besides skills contactsare crucial for that area and many others. However, it is something to doparallel to another since I love it.

Portfolio

Food is great and I believe it’s reallyimportant for us to have an education about what we eat but it won’t provide mewith the life style I would like to have and would like to provide to my futurechildren.

The future will tell us for sure but so far my plans are to join aBusiness Administration University, because I love to use my brain and I wantto open my own business in the future. We will see.

PR: It must be really fun for you as a model in NY! Where do you hang out? Doyou already have your group of friends there?

RENATOFERREIRA: I always stay in the modelsapartment, so that’s a way to get started meeting new people.

Now I’m over ageso I can go to bars (differently than 2009), but I’m not a heavy drinker,neither do I enjoy staying up very late if I’m burning over 1k caloriesdaily at the gym.

I hang out in Central Park with some other model friendsduring the weekends when it’s hot outside. Maybe if you suggest me a few placesI could start going there. :^J

Ph: Joseph Bleu

PR: Hahahha. I should! And when you're home in Brazil, where can you be seen?What can you recommend us :) ?

RENATOFERREIRA: If my friends are on vacation I hang out withthem most of the time, but I can easily be spotted at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitasrunning, at the bar Carismático in Gavea with friends, at Boteco Taco inHumaitá, at Flamengo Club, at Ipanema Beach, etc.

Gregory Vaughan Studio

PR: Who are your other Brazilian male model friends?

RENATOFERREIRA: I don’t hang out that muchwith models in Brazil, I only have a few model friends, one travels the wholetime, one lives in SP and the closest one got murdered a couple months ago, itwas really sad…

PR: We are sure that we would never be able to catch you with a drink in yourhand… however, if you had to drink…let’s say beer: what brand would you choose?Do you completely avoid alcohol?

RENATOFERREIRA: Come on, you can probablycatch me drinking some alcohol if I’m in a pub, night club or at an event. It’sjust not often. I like Chopp da Brama in Brazil and elsewhere anything lightworks, like Coors light or Bud light.

PR: What about your favorite spots in other countries? Which places can yourecommend, for a night out?

RENATOFERREIRA: Ohhh, there is nothing likenight clubs in China. Guandi was awesome while I was promoting it, if they havea PR doing a good job it should be the place to be.

Malaysiawas more house parties than anything else, but Changkat Bukit Bintang is thestreet or all bars.

Riode Janeiro, Lord Jim, Carismático and Boteco Taco, are my suggestions, sincethey are always good, otherwise I will have to ask my friends to update meabout which night club is good to go to lately.

Ph: Rick Day

PR: All Brazilians have amazing skin! How is that possible? Which moisturizerdo you use? Do you at least apply sun protection or tanning oil? Discover justa piece of that well hidden secret!

RENATOFERREIRA: Hahaha, thanks, well when we have the sunwhole year long it is easy to keep the skin looking good. Rio is very humid, soI have to dry my face from the excess of oil, not apply more, I use sun blockwhen going to the beach or running around the lake, Coppertone. In Canada andUSA I use Olay before going to bed.

PR: Which after shave do you use?

RENATOFERREIRA: I do, I use one thatcame with my fragrance from Carolina Herrera, 212.

By Lucio Luna

PR: Let us just tell you that you have an amazing body... How much do you haveto work out a day to maintain the results?

Ph: Rick Day

RENATOFERREIRA: An average of 30 minutes daily will do. But ifI’m in NYC my workout average goes up to one hour and a half daily, it’s crazystuff…

PR: What is your gym routine?

RENATOFERREIRA: I workout just somemuscle groups, since I don’t want my legs, back, triceps, traps and shouldersto get any bigger.

I workout chest, biceps, abs, gluts, calves and cardio.

Ishould be going to Miami the beginning of next year and since it’s a lot ofswimwear over there I will increase 5 pounds of muscle to get to 180lbs.

To getthere I should do something like: chest, shoulders and abs one day; cardio,gluts and calves the other; biceps and lower back the following one; then oneday just cardio; repeat.

PR: How do you find the right gym when you travel? Do you have a routine thatyou can do without any equipment?

RENATOFERREIRA: I have some equipment light and easy to carryaround in case the agency doesn’t have any gym near by or I don’t have time togo to the gym. Normally, most agencies provide a gym membership to all models,and of course charging us from our account with them.

PR: Of course...We would expect that you are more into surfing than snowboarding! Where didyou learn how to snowboard... tell us more!

RENATOFERREIRA: Don’t get me wrong, I lovesurfing, it’s just way more difficult than snowboarding. Snowboarding you cango downhill for over 10 minutes, on the other hand, surfing, if you get a wavethat lasts very long it will take around 10 seconds only, It feels better and Ilove it, but snowboard seams to be much more convenient. I learned to snowboardhere in Calgary 4 years ago.

PR: What is your favorite snowboarding equipment?

RENATOFERREIRA: I snowboarded 1 time this season, so I rentedit, I just have just goggles, gloves, jacket and snow pants.

Ph: Rick Day

PR: What is your favorite song for a romantic mood?

RENATOFERREIRA: With Me – Sum41

PR: Name 3 things that can seduce you?

RENATOFERREIRA:

A look,
a smile
and anice approach.

PR: If you could book any commercial job in this world – what would it be andwhy? RENATO FERREIRA: Certainly acommercial for an expensive brand of fragrance, that plays many times on TV, inthe USA. Because that would pay over 150g on my pocket, after taxes, % for theagency, etc. Hehehehe ;^P

Renato: We are the generation that will change thecourse or finish to destroy the planet. To do nothing about something thatneeds to be changed is doing something already.“All that is necessary for evilto triumph is for good men to do nothing.” - Edmund Burke. Let's keep that inmind.

PARTS FROM MARISA'S INTERVIEW FOR Women's Health MAGAZINE.

MARISA MILLER: 'I believe you have to fake it till you make it. Act like you're confident and you'll get there.'

@marisamiller USA

MARISA MILLER: 'Eatingsmart is all about having an awareness of your body,' says the model who likes to munch on brown rice, quinoa and kale chips.

'The most obvious way to do that is by seeing it.

'Sowhen you're trying to lose weight, spend more time wearing less. I don't think I could eat a plate of nachos naked - could you?'


@marisamiller USA

MARISA MILLER: 'Going to the gym can be pretty monotonous. I felt like I was getting a little too skinny, so I stopped doing so much cardio and started practicing Pilates and working more on strength training and toning."

'My lifestyle is pretty active, as well, I surf, I stand-up paddle board, and I have a puppy now, so I'm always on walks and runs with her."

@ MAJOR NY


Made in Brasil

PONY RYDER: Tell us about"environmental" projects you are involved with? You seem to have strong opinion on thattopic.

RENATO FERREIRA: I wish I was doing more, but soon I’m sure Iwill engage with more of these projects.

Well, lets get it started. For thosethat don’t know, our world is dying, have you heard of global warming? Yes,that is it. If we don’t do anything to change the way we live burning oil as ifit was going to become water steam, my future children and their children willpay the price for our ignorance to what is around us.

Ph: Joseph Bleu

RENATO FERREIRA: There are many ways touse less oil, less water, less energy, but if you can afford it why would youchange? (Trust me that many people think like that)

Well, we made so manyimprovements in the technology area, medicine area, media and several others,and because of these improvements people think that we are capable of findingan instant solution, we start to have a tsunami in Miami, Rio, Fiji,Caribbean’s, etc. Hurricanes all over Canada, the USA, Europe, etc. Volcanoesexploding in Hawaii, Asia, Australia.

We won’t find it, if we don’t change theway we use our resources we will be extinct in less than 100 years.

No problem,we won’t be the first race on Earth to be extinguished… Right? So I want tosuggest a movie that I believe everyone should watch that explain much betterthan I did what is going on - “The Age of Stupid”.

RENATO FERREIRA: Well, I spoke a lot about this topic, but just to add a few other things that Isupport.

Currently I’m doing a volunteer job at my local SPCA taking care ofdogs that have been abandoned. And when I was young I traveled with my mom tothe north of Brazil when I was introduced to a project that saves lives ofAquatic turtles, it’s called Projeto TAMAR (http://www.tamar.org.br/), great idea and it is also a nonprofit organization that accepts help from people like you and me.

CriançaEsperança (http://redeglobo.globo.com/criancaesperanca/) is a project in Brazil, sponsored by Globo, which helps kids thatcome from families with very low income to have a chance in life. All the linksyou can find on my website in the social project area (HERE).

Peter Pilotto ss12 - London

PONY RYDER: MJ or Melissa?

MJ: MJ

PONY RYDER: OK MJ… before we start about modeling we wantto mention your GUCCI Kelis Sandals! Where did you get them?

MJ: Online

PONY RYDER: Are they comfortable?

MJ: Well they definitely aren't my Doc Martins.

Theytook me a while to get used to walking in but after a lot of practice theybecame quite easy and they look amazing!!

PONY RYDER: Why did you pick green color?

MJ: It is such a beautiful shade of green almostturquoise and that color works so well with the gold ankle strap.

PONY RYDER: Are Kelis your favorite pair?

MJ: Out of all my heels my favorite are my GUCCIKelis Sandals, I also have a great pair of Rachel Comey day shoes that Ilove!!! I did her show this season which was great because her collection isdefinitely my kind of style.

PONY RYDER: Do you like Uggs?

MJ: I LOVEUGGS!

PONY RYDER: Ha.Ha, We suppose this is not the firsttime someone tells us you that you resemble Uma Thurman a lot?

MJ: No definitely not the first time I was once toldthat I look like the love child of Uma Thurman and Elvis Presley.

PONY RYDER: Did you have any other comparisons?

MJ: I have also been compared to Scarlett Johansson andSophia Loren.

PONY RYDER: What do you like about Wilhelmina?

MJ: Wilhelmina is great, the whole team there worksso hard and they are all very passionate. They would work as hard for a girljust starting out as they would for one of their top girls; they also want toget to know you as a person not just a model so they put in the extraeffort!!

PONY RYDER: How do you like working as a professionalmodel… you are still so young. Is this to much for you or you are taking theright pace?

MJ: I love modeling, I love the idea of never knowingwhat I could be doing the next day, when I was young I would want to be a wholeheap of different things when I grew up and could never understand that youcould only choose one so I guess this is the perfect job for me.

I don't think this is too much for me at all, we makesure that I will always have someone (at this stage my mum) with me to travelwith so that when it is all getting a bit hectic I will have someone to talk toor cook a meal with or remind me to brush my teeth morning & night…..

PONY RYDER:What is Alex Perry really like?

MJ: Alex Perry is very nice, I first met him at myfitting for the show, and he was very hands on making sure every part of thedress fit perfectly to my body.

PONY RYDER:How do you like his collections?

MJ: I love Alex' collection he has such a wide range ofdresses and evening wear. One of my favorites is the beautiful red over theshoulder dress that Megan Gale wore for the cover of Marie Claire Australia inthe July issue.

PONY RYDER: Speaking of Megan Gale, Isola or We areHandsome for swimwear?

MJ: 'We are Handsome' they have sic prints!

PONY RYDER:How many pairs of Rag and Bone jeans do you own?

MJ: I have two pairs so far, I was given a pair fortrade last season in New Yorkand I've worn them out so much that they now have a huge whole in the knee! Ialso bought my sister a pair when I was last in NYC.

PONY RYDER:If you could only shop in one shop, what would that be?

MJ: I love Pixie Market in NYC on the lower east sidethey have a huge range of brands and they also stock heaps of Aussielabels.

PONY RYDER:Your day bag is…?

MJ: Mulberry.

PONY RYDER: Whatpleasures do you enjoy most during photo shoots?

MJ: There's alwaysamazing catering at photo shoots and it's different everywhere I go. I love allthe different cultures and their cuisine.

PONY RYDER: Do you also let yourself indulge insweets?

MJ: Of course, if there'san amazing sweet at a shoot I can't let it pass me by haha. I have a littletaste. It's all apart of the experience.

PONY RYDER: Is Australian food a lot different fromAmerican food?

MJ: Australian food, especially what I grew up with,is a lot less processed and more meat and fresh produce we seem to focus moreon traditional meals with most of our food coming straight from the land.

New York does have themost amazing food because there are so many people and there is pretty much allthe different foods from all around the world.

PONY RYDER: Which is your favorite Aussie food place in the USA?

MJ: My favourite Aussie food place in the US is Sunburnt Cow in NY I went there on Australia daylast year. They have great Steak burgers and they even had Lamingtons.

PONY RYDER: Can you find a good „pavlova“ in NY?

MJ: I haven't come across any so far, but I'll letyou know when I do.

FVXX MAGAZINE

PONY RYDER: How is life in Alice Springs?

MJ: I have loved growing up in Alice Springs - it is sobeautiful, we live on a 5 acre property so we have had all sorts of pets such ashorses, dog's, cat's, snakes, bird's, rabbits etc.. all my life and I lovehaving that to go back to after being away.

The people are so down to earth& the town is not that big & it takes 5/10 minutes to get anywherewithin the town.

We have the most beautiful scenic walking trails whichmy family & I enjoy walking on together whenever we are all home. It is soquiet at home compared to the cities & that takes a bit of getting used toafter the hustle & bustle of the cities especially NYC.

PONY RYDER: Where is your family originally from? Wemean, which roots do you have?

MJ: My father & his father are born & bred inAlice Springs as was I & my brothers &sisters, my mother was born in Adelaide SA. But way back my fathers sidedescends from Denmark & England.My mother side descend is from Germany.

PONY RYDER: Do you apply sun screen on a daily basis?

MJ: I am very careful with my skin care, if I'm outin the sun I try apply it every two hours.

I use 'Banana Boat, Baby roll onsunscreen, SPF 30' for my face and body, because it's much more gentle thannormal sunscreen and is non-greasy.

PONY RYDER: Do you ever get a bad skin day? You are ateenager after all! What do you do then?

MJ: I am very lucky with my skin although every sooften I do have bad skin days and when I do I try to leave it alone as much asI can and not cover it up with make-up and different creams that irritate it. Iam also always drinking water so that helps when I do get break outs and I findthey don't last as long probably because I am eating and drinking nutritiously.

PONY RYDER: Which products do you use for your skin?

MJ: I use 'Clearasil daily clear face wash" and'Clinique 7 day exfoliating scrub cream'.

PONY RYDER: How important are vitamins for your skinroutine? Or you use them solely for energy purpose?

MJ: Vitamins are very important not only for my skinroutine but for many different reasons. I take calcium and magnesiumwhich is for strong and healthy bones especially for women to preventOsteoporosis, I also take fish oil & a multi vitamin.

PONY RYDER: If you had to apply a perfect make upnow, which key products would use?

MJ:

Clinique Moisture surge face cream,
MAC mineraliseskinfinish Natural powder,
MAC mineralise blush Dainty,
Bourjois Paris illuminehighlight powder,
Maybelline One by One Volum'Express Mascara,
Estee Lauderpure color 12 Beige lip color
and Paw Paw cream.

PONY RYDER: Are all of these products in your make up bag?

MJ: Yes.

PONY RYDER: Your favorite Fragrance?

MJ: I use Jadore, Dior scented body milk.

PONY RYDER: You do a lot of water sports! Which oneis your favorite?

MJ: I love water-skiing!!! and also over the week-endI had my first ever surfing lesson which was great I love the ocean.

PONY RYDER: Is that pure adrenaline?

MJ: Yes! Anything involving an adrenaline rushI'm there...

PONY RYDER: Sharks as well cause adrenalin rush! Have youever … seen one?

MJ: No, Ithink they are amazing although I wouldn't just jump in if they are around! ButI do want to go shark diving...

Arizona Muse later that day wrote a piece for GloblGrind.com:

"I arrived here in Rome yesterday and have had the most relaxing time since!

I treated myself to a 50 minute foot massage yesterday. I highly recommend foot massages, I even give them to myself - works wonders during Fashion Week!

Today I woke up after 14.5 hours of sleep. How lucky am I?? Makes me realize that I usually sleep about 6 hours less than I need! But hey, I'm 23, I can handle it.

Work starts this afternoon with a 3pm call time. I'd imagine we'll shoot well into the night. I'm very excited about the campaign I'm here to shoot, can't leak the secret of what it is though, it'll have to be a surprise!"

PONYRYDER: Hi Olga!

OLGA MAZUR: Hi dear Pony!!!

PONYRYDER: What are you listening right now?

OLGA MAZUR: Right now I am listeningto Dire Straits…. I like good music. I don’t have favorite group or singers.Maybe it is easier to say what I don’t like and that is RNB.

PONYRYDER: Have you been to any good concert lately?

OLGAMAZUR: It was a year ago. I went with my friends (one of them was organizingthis concert) to Guns N' Roses in Milan.It was fun!

PONYRYDER: How was Paris?

OLGA MAZUR: Parisas always was very good. Always nice to walk around. For me this city is likemuseum under the sky.

PONYRYDER: Do you have a favorite place there?

OLGA MAZUR: There are so many cute cafes, so each time I am there I tryto go to new places.

PONYRYDER: Do you ever lie on the grass just outside the Louvre museum, when youare there?

OLGA MAZUR: Oh yes I do ( but notthe last time as it was too cold for that)

PONYRYDER: We did not find a mind blowing croissant in Paris! Did you?

OLGA MAZUR: Between Italian andFrench one, I like more Italian so I did find it in Milan.

PONYRYDER: Milano. Would you like to permanently live there? We mean, where would you like to live?

OLGA MAZUR: From all the placeswhere I have been - for living I like Spain. The people are superfriendly, the weather is nice and warm…

fashiongroupconsulting.com

PONYRYDER: But Milan seems to be your base. Whatare your favorite locations there?

OLGA MAZUR: I can’t say it is my base.I haven’t been there for long and I arrived for fashion week. My favorite placeis Duomo because of all the shops and nice cafes.

Ph. Natalie Berezina

PONYRYDER: However, modeling took you to all the different parts of the world. Whatwas by far your favorite place and experience?

OLGA MAZUR: Each city has somethingspecial and each city is so different so I can’t say this one I like betterthen the other one. Maybe in top cities for modeling is Parisand Tokyo.

Butfor modeling and “rest” is Spain.

PONYRYDER: Are models treated differently in Japanthen let's say Europe?

OLGA MAZUR: That can everyone say andnot just models - I think everyone who has some business in Japan feels it.I love to work there. They treat you like a baby.

PONYRYDER: Are you the only model in your family? Ukrainian women are famous fortheir beauty.

OLGA MAZUR: I am the first one whoopened modeling in my family.

PONYRYDER: How were you scouted?

OLGA MAZUR: When I was 11 years oldI went with my girlfriend to model school and I even didn’t think or dream thatI will be a “real” model. The firstagency who took me was La Primafrom Kiev andafter that I changed my mother agency two times.

PONY RYDER: Youhave that Magdalena Frackowiak look. Do youever get compared to her?

PONY RYDER: The row in front of that casting was millionmiles long. How do you manage to maintain the high level of energy whenyou are on castings whole day?

OLGAMAZUR: I have no idea how I did it. The good news is that on each casting I meetgirls who I didn’t see forever.
