-Hi Anastasia, it’s great to have you here. You’ve been in New York for 8 years now and you’re known as one of the most sought-after stylists in the city. Can you tell us how you got started in the industry?
-Thank you for having me. Well, I’ve always been interested in fashion and style, so when I moved to New York, I decided to pursue my passion and started assisting other stylists. It was a great learning experience and I got to work with some amazing people. Eventually, I started getting my own clients and things just took off from there.
-That’s great to hear. What sets you apart from other stylists in the city?
-I think what sets me apart is my attention to detail and my ability to understand each client’s unique style and personality. I don’t just impose my own vision on them, but rather work with them to create a look that they feel comfortable and confident in. I also try to stay on top of the latest trends and styles, but I always keep my clients’ individuality in mind.
-That’s definitely an important quality for a stylist. Can you tell us about some of the most memorable clients you’ve worked with?
-Sure, I’ve been fortunate to work with some amazing people. One of the most memorable experiences was styling a photoshoot for a major fashion magazine with a famous supermodel. It was a challenging project, but also incredibly rewarding to see the final result. I’ve also worked with some up-and-coming designers and helped them create looks for their runway shows, which was really exciting.
-What are your achievements that particularly make you happy and inspire you?
As a model and stylist, I was thrilled to receive a publication in the American magazine SELIN. It was an incredible experience to see my work showcased in such a prestigious publication. As a model, I was honored to have my unique style and look recognized by the magazine’s editorial team. As a stylist, it was rewarding to see my vision come to life and to know that my work was appreciated by others in the industry. Overall, it was a wonderful opportunity and I’m grateful for the chance to have been a part of it.
-What are your plans for the future, say for the next 5 years?
-In the next 5 years, I have several goals and plans that I’m working towards. As a model, I hope to continue expanding my portfolio and working with more diverse clients and brands. I also want to focus on improving my skills and versatility, so that I can take on a wider range of projects and roles.
As a stylist, I’m hoping to grow my business and work with more high-profile clients and publications. I want to continue refining my vision and style, while also staying up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques in the industry.
In addition, I’m also considering pursuing some new ventures and opportunities. For example, I’m interested in exploring the world of fashion blogging and social media, and using these platforms to share my work and connect with new audiences.
Overall, I’m excited about the possibilities that the future holds, and I’m committed to working hard and staying focused on my goals.
I’m also currently training to become a women’s coach, and I want to transform women not only on the outside, but also on the inside. I want every woman, regardless of her age, to feel feminine, desired, loved, and to have a beloved job that brings her a good income, so that all women can feel satisfaction from life and understand that we only have one life and need to cherish and get the most enjoyment from it every day! I also believe that every woman is like a flower, she just needs to bloom and have the opportunity to find a connection between her outer and inner self.
-What makes you unique?
-My uniqueness lies in the fact that my first degree is in economics. I know how to spend money wisely, and I prefer to create looks for my clients that span across mid-range and luxury segments. I know where to find discounts and good deals, and I have contracts and promo codes with many brands and outlets. I always pay special attention to accessories and shoes, and I believe that these items are investments in every woman’s wardrobe.
-That sounds like an amazing experience. What advice do you have for aspiring stylists who are just starting out in the industry?
-My advice would be to stay true to yourself and your vision, but also be open to learning from others and collaborating with different people. Networking is also really important in this industry, so don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and make connections. And most importantly, always work hard and stay passionate about what you do.

-What advice would you give to women?
-Love yourself, value yourself, listen to yourself and your heart, and the rest of the people will follow.
