В мире моды много эксцентричных персонажей разной степени эпатажности. И если не оглядываться на Запад, то, пожалуй, топ-модель из России Данила Поляков — самый яркий из них.
Several years ago, Daniel, who was called»Red beast» made the world a new way to look at the role of the male models in the fashion-industry. It was he who largely contributed to the emergence of fashion, androgynous models, eventually acquired the character of this boom, the consequences of which we have seen so far.
Q: Daniel, do you think, why you have become the most popular model among Russian men in the West?
Danila Polyakov: Well, high red guy with the beard, that without it, it looks like a girl, the guy - intriguing! I had an agent Pavel Zotov of IQ models. He never engaged in the guys, but he realized that I would draw attention. Of course, there were up to me, guys red model with long hair, but it was not up to what extent exaggerated image. Plus I did not go there just came, I had fantasies about what I can do in this business, I studied it. And I realized that it would be cool to do something else, as opposed to what is already there in the world market. I went into this industry, because I knew that I could change the way the image of man in fashion.
Question: How do you evaluate the results - has turned out?
DP .: I think so.
Q: Usually with a meal at the models are complex relationships. How to eat you: that you love, that forbidden?
DP .: No special power supply system I have. But there is a good model usually do not know who said it, maybe even I came up with: »There is the food - well, no food - good too!»
Question: How do you think, took a stupid stereotype models?
DP .: Many models play up to that image. But most likely, all so used to thinking of the fact that in this business come from an early age. Young boys and girls sit down on the whole of fashion, they were taught to properly maintain, beautiful lodge itself itself, and brains, then they have not dorazvilis ...
Q: This is probably why there is still a stereotype that in the modeling business is done all over, the bed. Designers Have you ever offered sex?
DP .: I have not slept with any designer. There was an option, a person very strongly hinted at that. He just knew that another chance will not be presented. But I clearly gave him to understand that I was not interested in the ego. I went into this industry, not in order to look for a companion or life partner or similar relationship. After that I again worked for the brand, but I have not seen more. It was not just harassment, no dirt. He just really admired me, and not rude »rolled up» and tried to show me that he likes me very much. Well, for example, he says: «I miss you», and I - «I miss my clothes». You can always laugh it off, make it clear that anything that does not shine.
Q: When three years ago you their gorgeous hair shorn, many of your fans were disappointed. This is certainly a serious blow to your career?
DP .: Well, yes. But then I just fell into a different state. You do not remember yourself what you are without hair, because you're with them all my life go. And all around admired: »ah, long hair,» »Oh, what hair,» and all that. It is understood that after that I looked at myself in a completely different way. I have changed, and not only in appearance. Although it was a lot of stress for me, I do not regret anything.
