April 10, 200520 yr I just read this and I love Eugenia even more. ""I started with a small agency in Russia and after that I went to Viva in Paris and then to DNA in New York. At first I wasn't thinking ...you know..about an international career. I had just finished school so I thought it would be nice to concentrate on this for a bit to see how it went. Then things started to move really quickly. I really loved working in Paris. It's a great city which I relate to very well. Then by the time I came to New York, things became really intense." Was it a lot of stress going from life in Russia to the pressure of cover shoots and opening Gucci shows , we query? Euguenia pauses, smiles as she searches for a diplomatic answer before exhaling slowly... "Uhmm, no. It's not that I don't get nervous at shoots or shows. It's just that there are much tougher things to deal with than fittings, or flying a lot y'know. No matter how tough it gets, there are much tougher things than this." What is interesting is the way Euguenia's rise testifies to the complexity of the global tracking system that is the modeling industry nowadays. The majority of client/agency activity is clustered around a handful of major urban capitals (NY, Paris, Milan, London, LA, Miami) but the speed with which a potential star gets tracked from a small Russian mother agency to the hippest shops of NY, Paris and Milan is headspinning. So when a valuable new player like Euguenia with her unflappable poise and her killer bod enters the picture, she is caught up in a machine that is moving even faster than in the days of Linda and Naomi, or for that matter Kate and Amber.: imn0tcreativ3: Oh how I love when way she thinks.

So when a valuable new player like Euguenia with her unflappable poise and her killer bod enters the picture, she is caught up in a machine that is moving even faster than in the days of Linda and Naomi, or for that matter Kate and Amber.: Problem is the machine goes so fast now that weak girls crumble as if they were disposable paper dolls, never having converted their fifteen minutes of fame. Photographers get frustrated with the models who can't model with the assurance of the legends and then the calls go out to the Ambers and the Kates and the Carolyns. And so what are the long term prospects for this Euguenia? Again she laughs off the question. "I take it day by day, job by job. I really enjoy modeling and I want to do it for a while. I want to do it well. It's great, its an ...adventure " Out of curiousity, I ask her her sign. "Virgo" she offers Virgos. Quiet but ruthlessly ambitious. Very laid back about their ambition in public but stay up all night plotting their next move. Euguenia cracks up at that bit of astrogical analysis and for the first time her vamp goddess mask slips and the sweet schoolgirl in her peeks out. No wonder the Russian girls are running away with modeling's top prizes right now. In response to that observation Kate Orne offered "The Russian people have this depth to their culture that you can see in their faces, in the bone structure. You can see it in Euguenia's face. There's an aristocracy mixed in with the beauty. She has such amazing eyes!" And that means it's time for Kate to take her pictures. Which for the record are shot without a scrap of make-up, in natural light. "Listen sweetheart. We must shoot her in black and white. I love the way the shadows are falling on her face. Look at the line between her brow and that nose. " Euguenia is a part of a wave of new models built along a classic ideal. But it's not just a classic ideal of beauty but also about a classic work ideal. It's like one shrewd observer on the MDC forums noted: Modeling is back. In the words of the tipsters who emailed us "Please. No more model miseries. No more models who look at the camera like it insulted them and their mother. No more models who hate flying, hate modeling, hate walking runways Give us some hair tossing, jumping, energetic models who like modeling." And per that pointed prescription is a girl like Euguenia who wants it and consequently works it, offering the business a rare opportunity for a full range model, the kind who can rock a bikini and a showcase a couture ballgown, front a mass market beauty campaign and yet pose perilously for the edgiest of avant-chic spreads. She's formidable, this one. And she's only just begun."
