International beauty, Kira Dikhtyar a model and actress whose passion revolves around traveling and being in front of a camera is achieving her dreams by working hard every day. At age 16 she began her career as a model and today is professionally signed with LA Model Agency. Kira never had a goal to become an actress, but recently booked an acting job playing a Russian supermodel.
MW: As a supermodel part of your job is to travel a lot. Does it make you home sick and miss your family?
KD: I wouldn’t say home sick because before I was a model I was a professional gymnast. So, I’m used to be away from my family, but I do really miss my son, Alexander! MW: Traveling the world must be such an incredible experience. Please tell us what your favorite is. KD: Exuma, Bahamas is my favorite traveling spot! They have very lovely beaches, overall it is such a beautiful place to be. |
MW: How has modeling influenced your style?
KD: In my personal style, I prefer simplicity because I get a chance to wear the most expensive clothes. I prefer something comfortable, but ever since I started modeling I adore wearing high heels! MW: How has the combination of acting and modeling impacted your character? KD: Well actually I have to say modeling and acting are 2 completely different professions. Very often we hear from director to “stop modeling” so means stop looking very pretty and to be aware about it, while in modeling you have-to do everything to make sure that you look good MW: What memorable runway shows have you walked in? KD: Valentino, Dior, Chanel MW: How do you prepare prior to walking in a show? KD: Well, before every show there is casting or fitting. Right before the show models go hair-makeup, also very important in our profession is not to forget to have something to eat! I also would have a glass of champagne to ‘sparkle’ right before the evening show. |
MW: How do you define beauty and fierceness?
KD: It’s a difficult question. I personally prefer more classic brands, because classic beauty never goes out of fashion. But again, I am just a model. MW: Can you give us a piece of advice that you have learned from your career? KD: Advice is simple: “never give up” and never be afraid to be rejected. Kira Dikhtyar is such a lovely person, with a determination to conquer the world of fashion and entertainment that can inspire those surrounding her and motivate them to be the best version of themselves. We are looking forward to seeing Kira conquer the stylish world she belongs in and we are confident she will one day achieve her dream of walking in the Victoria Secret Show. -Barby McQueen Instagram: @fashionggw |
