I think that best moments take us to our past. This night was in my granny's yard where lots of frogs were jumping around. Something mysterious was there. Had someone something similar?

[info]trussianmodels
 "Russian Wave" in Europe and America had to model business pervasive consequences. Around the year 2005 it became obvious that, according to conservative estimates, about one-third of girls who remain in the western model agencies - are top russian models. They are effectively keep pace with the citizen of Ukraine and the Baltic countries. Russians participated in shows at Fashion Week in Paris, London, Milan and New York or in advertising campaigns world-famous brands was not just commonplace. Invite Russian participation in the shows, call them for advertising campaigns suddenly turned extremely fashionable. But the influence of the "Russian Wave" was not only that the number of Russian girls in the Western agencies has increased significantly. Becoming mandatory background fashionable life, Russian models were not professional extras. In addition to the Natalia Vodianova and Eugenia Volodina, Natasha Poly Sasha Pivovarova and on the catwalks of the world came not just the generation of Russian fashion models, but the whole generation of Russian stars.
Early enough in 1997, began her career Kate Kokorev. Then it was one of the participants of the famous modeling contest «Elite Model Look». About Kate all spoken of as a girl, unconditionally loyal work. She was born and raised in St. Petersburg. In order to finish school, she actually had to pass an external examination. But, despite all efforts, her international career by and large did not develop until about 2002. Good contracts with Katya in the early years arose a few, and those that were not always assumed in the capital of world fashion and with stamps of the first magnitude.



Nevertheless, Kate worked in Japan and, in particular, was the face of cosmetic surgery clinics Kitamura. She also participated in shows of Australian designer Akira Japanese Isogavy. The situation changed in 2002 when Kate went to the podium in the shows «Comme des Garcons» and «Romeo Gigli». And then gradually, but increasingly noticeable with each passing season, she began appearing in shows «Giorgio Armani» and «Bernhard Wilhelm», «Dries van Noten» and «Christian Dior». Katia Kokoreva was one of the few Russian models, which actively participated in the parade Belgians and the Japanese - designers, who largely shaped the direction of modern fashion.

Then add to this part in advertising campaigns. Kate received an invitation from the «Armani», «Ralph Lauren» and «Veronique Branquinho». In addition, she began appearing on the covers of magazines such as «Arnica», «Donna» and «Jalouse». The peak of her popularity came in 2006 when the season she showed about 30 collections. He started his career much earlier, it in unexpected ways has also become one of the mannequins of the "Russian Wave".

Tatiana Kovylina was born in Kazan. Like many girls, who began his career in the late 1990's, she made her debut in model contests. In 1998 she won the «Elite Model Look Tatarstan». The first noticeable appearance on the podium Tatiana Kovylina refers to the year 2002. Anyone yet unknown model came out in the show «Bernhard Willhelm». For the young Belgian designer, it was also a landmark year: he was invited to become chief designer fashion house «Capucci». In the same 2002 Tanya appeared on the cover of the magazine «Madame Figaro».

The first two years of its participation in Fashion Week was very modest. She has done one or two hits for the season. Tatiana Kovylina participated in the show Russian duo «Tata-Naka» London or «Imitation of Christ», New York, but that almost all limiting. The really successful for it was in 2004 when the number of fashion houses that have chosen her to showcase their collections to over 30. Among the brands, who wished to see Tanya in their shows, were «Bottega Veneta» and «Ralph Lauren», «Etro» and «Narciso Rodriguez».

Tatiana increasingly began to appear in photo shoots on the pages of glossy magazines and shot by famous photographers. In particular, in 2005 the magazine «ELLE» published photo series with her participation, made famous by photographer Gilles Bensimon. Then it began to invite and to shoot the ad campaigns. Tatiana Kovylina became the face of «Calvin Klein Jeans», «Women's Secret» and «Givenchy». By 2006, it surely ranks among the most popular Russian models.

Almost simultaneously, in 2004, on the international catwalks appeared Valentina Zelyaeva, Katja Shchekina and Milan Bogolepova.

Valentina Zelyaeva was born in 1982 in Nizhny Novgorod. Her career outside of Russia, as it usually happens, engaged in several agencies. In this case, it was the «Women», «Marilyn» and «Select» - the world's largest agencies and modeling network. Valya has a classical type of beauty: blond hair, green eyes, regular features and high cheekbones, which in Europe have traditionally been considered an attribute of Slavic appearance.

Start Valya career in 2004 was very modest: she took part in showing the New York designer Cynthia Steff (Cynthia Steffe) Spring-Summer 2004. Within six months the interest in it has grown significantly: she was leaving the show «Barbara Bui» and «Calvin Klein», «Sonia Rykiel» and «Valentino». But this triumph she began in 2005 when the number of hits in which she participated, over 50 per season. She also began appearing on magazine covers - it was the German «ELLE» and English «Harper's & Queen». And besides, Valentina Zelyaeva signed several advertising contracts, in particular, becoming the face of «Balen-ciaga», «Calvin Klein Jeans» and «Ralph Lauren».

Another confirmation of the success it received in 2005. She became one of the models, invited to shoot a calendar «Pirelli». With her in the shooting attended Eugenia Volodina. The photos were commissioned Patrick Demarchelier, and the work was finally adopted by Valentina Zelyaevu in the status of the star.

Muscovite Milan Bogolepova also became known for the contest «Elite Model Look». In this modeling contest she participated twice. The first time she noticed during the "wild" casting in 2001. With the "wild" (or "free") begin casting many professional competitions. They account for virtually all comers - that is, several thousand young girls who dream of becoming models. At the competition in Milan did not win, but received a special award from MTV: she trusted to maintain multiple releases of the program "STYLISSA-mo." Did not win it again next year.

But a year later in Milan Bogolepova appeared in Paris in a show of second-line «Yohji Yamamoto Y's». In 2004, this added impressions «Louis Vuitton». This was the beginning of her professional career.

A year later she appeared on the cover of Italian «D» and «Arnica», and in addition, took part in the shows «AF Vandevorst», «Chanel», «Dolce & Gabbana», «Etro», «Undercover» and «Veronique Leroy» . The following year, 2006 has become even more hits. Among the collections that she showed were «Hermes», «Balenciaga», «Dries van Noten», «Kenzo» and «Gucci». Milan Bogolepova was another Russian model, whose career was on the background of the overall success of fashion models from Russia.

Another Russian star - Kate Shchekina - was born in 1986 in Perm - in the same town as Natasha Poly. Katya in the family were the ancestors of Somalia. This gave her a very unusual appearance: dark brown hair, dark skin, well-defined dark eyebrows and bright green eyes. Many, not knowing its Russian origin, took her by the Brazilian. Appearing at the podium in 2004, she once took part in several shows. The most important were, perhaps, «Costume National», «Emanuel Ungaro» and «Givenchy».

Kate noticed very quickly, and a year later she appeared on the podium in almost 40 collections. In 2005 there were a lot of filming for journalists

channels. In particular - for the Italian «Glamour», French, Italian and Russian «Vogue» and the French «Citizen K". And against this Katya became very actively invited to participate in promotional campaigns. She became the face of «Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti», «Dolce & Gab-bana», «Byblos», «Juicy Couture» and «Zara». In 2006 she was selected to participate in the show «Victoris'a Secret», which by tradition invite only famous models, which can be thought of as held the stars.

A year later, beginning his ascent to Olympus model Vlada Roslyakova. She was born in 1987 in Omsk - a city with a very strong tradition of the model created by the Omsk University of Technology. Model business in town was formed around this famous school of design - the strongest in the country. Home Vlada Roslyakova once was a triumph. In his debut season, she participated in nearly 20 shows. And what in Kazakh! «Comme des Garcons», «Helmut Lang», «Isabel Marant», «Kenzo» and «Yohji Yamamoto», but even such a good start was only the beginning. The next season - Fall-Winter 2005 - Number shown her collections exceeded 70. This season has made her a star.

In fact her real name - Elena Roslyakova. But at that moment, when she started modeling, at the podium was already working girl with a very similar-sounding name - Elena Rosenkova. Lena borrowed the name of his father, Vladimir, and cut it was Vlad. Under this name she was known. Following a triumphant appearance on the catwalk she began actively appearing in advertising campaigns. In 2005 she became the face «Max Mara», «Nina Ricci», «Moschino Cheap & Chic» and second-line «Dolce & Gabbana» - «D & G». In 2006, added to the list «Hermes» and perfume, released home «Roberto Cavalli».

In 2006, there were two very promising debut. One of them was the appearance of a girl with a very simple name and surname - Anna Kuznetsova. Light-blond, blue-eyed and not very high by the standards of the growth model - 1 meter 74 centimeters, it has a fairly standard appearance. But despite this, and perhaps owing to this circumstance, it was immediately demanded. Usual, it would seem, facial features, gave in her case an unexpected combination: it's like a teenage boy and girl dolls at the same time. In his first season, she participated in 10 shows, as well as starred in advertising «Blugirl». Then Anna took part in several photo shoots for «L'Officiel» and «Vogue», and has appeared on the cover of «Jalouse». The following season, she had already opened the show «Blumarine».

Another premiere in 2006 was the emergence of Muscovite Alexandra Sukhova. Starting the season spring-summer-2006 eleven shows, she a year later more than doubled this figure. In the list of Sasha's catwalk - «Dries van Noten», «Imitation of Christ», «Anna Molinari» and Jubilee show «Dolce & Gabbana», devoted to the 20 th anniversary of the brand. Then she posed for the magazine «Vogue» and «ELLE». She has light brown hair and blue eyes. Straight, flowing hair on the shoulders make Sasha Sukhova romantic girl, collected a bundle at the back or hidden under sweaters gate turned into a dramatic character. She knows how very different look at the camera: a glance it becomes very warm and gentle, the harsh and provocative. And this ability to be different is often crucial to the future career.

One of the features of the "Russian Wave" is the lack of a single facial features. The classic type of beauty, which is traditionally associated with Russia, has become for our models are not very popular. Russian girls, have become stars, have been completely different. Pauline Kuklin also differs greatly from Katie Shchekinov as, say, Eugenia Volodina by Sasha Pivovarova. These are different types of looks, different characters and different character. "Russian Wave" has destroyed the myth that models from Russia may be interested in only his Slavic appearance. And it was a great achievement that changed the attitude towards our models in Russia and abroad.

Distance, which overcame the Russian model business for the past fifteen years, enormous. Everything has changed: working conditions, the level of impressions and number of the models themselves. But most importantly, change expectations about what that means career success in this profession. At the end of 1980 nobody could have imagined that the Russian models will take part in fashion shows outside of Russia and that it will be commonplace. It seemed an incredible achievement, if the model at least once appeared in the pages of a fashion magazine or been involved in displays of fashion weeks in Paris, London, Milan or New York.

Fifteen years later, everything became very different. Level of professional ambition has grown significantly and has increased significantly. Number of hits a successful model is now counted in tens in a season. And in a magazine shoot importance is the name of the photographer, not the fact of the appearance on the glossy pages. World Fashion has changed beyond recognition the Russian market model, making it part of the international industry.

But at the same time, the expansion of models from Russia and Eastern Europe has made major adjustments in the work itself the world a model system. First, from Eastern Europe, including from Russia, the influx of girls who wanted to become models. And at some point it was increased several times the number of debutantes broke the usual balance of power. The system of supermodels and superstars was outdated and was eliminated as unnecessary. This meant not only to reduce the amounts of model contracts, which was much in itself.

Changed the structure of the modeling business. The era of supermodels assumed that the stars for a long time, "whirled", but then they pay back all the investments. Creating a fashionable celebrities require substantial costs, but it was a guarantee with respect to a long professional career. Great models 1980 and 1990 worked for 10-15 years, and some of them even longer.

The new approach, by contrast, is built on fast moving people. Long and diligently cultivate young talents became unprofitable. Often, the costs just do not pay off: the young mannequin can start playing up heavily to get better or just change your mind to work. The frequent appearance of the debutantes agency insures against these troubles. But at the same time, it significantly reduced the professional life model: a girl, spent 6.5 seasons on the catwalk (and it is only 3 years old) already looks like a veteran of the scene.

This state of affairs has led to unexpected consequences. First, the modeling business has become more open and accessible. Interest in new, often non-standard individuals, as well as rapid rotation models allowed to join the profession is incomparably more people. In addition to its participants the modeling business has ceased to be "a matter of life." Modeling career for many has become a very nice and colorful, but brief episodes of life.

Model of the "Russian Wave" was a talented pupil in this tough business.
- The Russian girls are very well versed in the profession, but also very feminine and beautiful. They are very grateful to this business for what he gave them, but never lose their sense of reality - said about the Russian model, one of the founders of the agency «Take 2" Melissa Richardson.

And regardless of the changes of fashion model for us, they will always be the best.
