What happens when two beautiful, successful and adventurous Russian girls meet in America? An interesting collaboration, at the very least. Designer Elia and model Anastasia Kvitko, heroines of gossip and red carpet, talk about their collaboration, the specifics of the fashion industry, life and work in the United States.

- What is your collaboration and why did you decide to work together? Indeed, in the United States there is a huge number of both models and designers.

Elia: Anastasia perfectly embodies the concept of my Eliya Cioccolato swimwear collection. Therefore, we agreed that Anastasia will become the face of the cruise collection. I make models for seductive girls with exciting curves. This is the key type of appearance, at least in the United States. Anastasia is not just a beauty, it is not for nothing that she is called a golden girl. Her very image is associated not only with sexuality, but also with the luxury lifestyle, which many aspire to.

Anastasia: Photos in swimsuits are one of the most popular on my Instagram. But now you don't need to think about which one to wear. But seriously, we have a great team. The photographer Yana Uvarova works with us, as you guessed, she is also a Russian woman. So, it turned out that in the world of fashion "Russians are coming" in a good way.



- Why models are for girls with forms?

Anastasia: The trend of slender beauties has long been in the past. And if we talk about Miami, Los Angeles, then here the ideal of beauty is precisely a girl with beautiful rounded shapes. And there is no limit to the size!

Elia: Considering that fashion nevertheless it comes to Russia in mass form from the Western Hemisphere, and not vice versa, there will soon be no questions left.

- Is everyday fashion different too?

Elia: The requirements for casual are not so strict here. Again, do not forget that the trend for ubiquitous sports shoes came from here, from America. In general, comfortable clothing with a sports bias is almost always appropriate for a daytime walk.



- And if we talk about the evening?

Anastasia: Evening go out is a celebration of life. Lots of glitter, cutouts, cuts. The length of the skirts may not be available as such. But seriously, a girl in a metropolis has to try very hard to attract attention to herself. Evening outfits are always sexy, bright, unusual.

Elia: Maybe that's why sequins, metallic, nets are in trend. Actually, in my collections, you can clearly trace the main trends, since I pay special attention to evening dresses.



- How would you recommend to keep in good shape?

Anastasia: In fact, the formula for an ideal figure is quite simple - healthy eating, sports, massage. There is no meat in my diet. But this does not mean that everyone needs to limit themselves. Diet is often a trauma. And in no case should we forget about the balance of proteins and carbohydrates.

I get protein from seafood. But in my case it is not difficult, I live by the ocean. But sports are required, and at least three times a week. But for smooth skin this is not enough, correctly selected cosmetics are also important. I end up soon launching my own line of beauty products for keeping in shape - the Body Curves series.



- You both moved to America and made a successful business and career there. How to make that very American Dream come true? Would you advise your former compatriots to move?

Anastasia: There are definitely more opportunities in the fashion business. Moreover, if you are not a representative of a boring gray mass. An extraordinary personality with a non-standard appearance, perhaps, is easier to find his way, this is true.

Elia: A businessman will build a successful business anywhere in the world. Personally, I have chosen Florida for now, because there is an incredible mix of cultures, nationalities, styles. Well, because the sun always shines here.
