A real beauty - Kristina Semenovskaya

When in 1993 Karin Models signed a contract with an adorable girl with light blond hair and green eyes, few people were interested in Russian models. The most popular models of the 90s were more unusual than beautiful. Christina was also unusual, but unlike many, she had an amazing appearance, which was in her classic beauty... Christina Semenovskaya is a real beauty.
And this was immediately noticed in the agency, sorting through photos of girls dreaming of a model future.

Christina was then 16 years old, she lived in Moscow with her parents and brother, went to school. As often happens in such cases, she was accidentally noticed by one of the agents and persuaded to take some photographs. Despite the fact that the pictures were taken with an amateur camera, they could not fail to be noticed when they were in a French agency. The girl was unusually good, her external data, no doubt, said that this is a future star. How can such a treasure be missed, and the French agency signed a contract with her. But at the age of 16, according to the laws of the country, Christina could not yet work on the podium. Until her adulthood, she continued to study, but not in Moscow, but at the international school in Paris, where she needed to learn foreign languages. Her classmates remember - when Christina entered the classroom, all attention was paid to her, she bewitched her with her charming gentle smile.

The Karin Models calculation turned out to be correct, from the day Christina reached her majority, she turned out to be one of the most sought-after models. Her young, sincere, without any fake appearance made Christina in the shortest possible time the ideal face of the world's most important fashion brands.

One of the first advertisements she participated in was an advertisement for Levi's iconic 501 jeans, as well as an advertisement for the Classique fragrance for the fashion house Jean - Paul Gaultier. In 1995, a 40-second commercial was shot in which Christina became the face of the fragrance. In the video, she appeared in a white dress with sleeves-lanterns with a doll in her hands, similar to Alice in Wonderland. Christina walked along a long corridor, she was surrounded by animated mannequins, and at the end of the corridor she found this coveted bottle. It was after this advertisement that a girl from distant Russia, unknown in the fashion world, became a recognizable face.

After a while, her face graced the cover of the French magazine "ELLE". And then together with Russian girls Tatiana Zavyalova and Irina Pantaeva Kristina was invited to appear for the 1997 Pirelli calendar. Shooting in the calendar was still going on when Christine was offered to be the face of the Christian Dior brand in the perfume line. She was among the famous and famous models and actresses who once represented the perfume and cosmetics line "Dior" - Sharon Stone, Gisele Bundchen, Kate Moss, Mila Jovovich, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow. To receive an invitation from such a well-known brand means the fact of recognition, the top of the model's pedestal. Christine was supposed to advertise the fragrance "Dune", which was created by Jean-Louis Ciezac. He has not created many fragrances, but all of his creations have become absolute hits. Dune's predecessors were Oscar (Oscar de la Renta), Opium (Yves Saint Laurent) and Farenheit (Christian Dior). The fragrance was already released and was a resounding success, in 1993 it received the Fi-Fi award. When the fragrance first appeared, the emphasis was on the bottle, but as the success grew, other image images were required. Since 1996, the girl lying on the sand has become the face of this fragrance. Dior has acquired the ideal heroine for its fragrance. Subsequently, Christina starred in commercials for "Guerlain" and "L'Oreal".These brands have always invited and invite only famous models with an impeccable reputation and of course the most beautiful to appear. By the way, about the reputation. Many girls think that the life of a model is about an eternal holiday, parties on the Cote d'Azur, luxurious social life, resorts, etc. Maybe for the sake of all this, some of them dream of becoming a star of the catwalk. One thing should be said that the more a recognizable model pays attention to secular life, and even somewhere it allows itself to appear in a dubious society, the less contracts it will have. Most serious brands will not want to contract a promiscuous model. The modeling business is an area where the full commitment of effort and time is required, where the ability to work and an unblemished reputation are in the first place.

And also Kristina Semenovskaya took part in the shows of the best fashion houses "Jean-Paul Gaultier", "Lanvin"," Christian Dior "," Kenzo "," Nina Ricci ","John Galliano"And many others.
