The climate wasn’t the only thing heating up in Thailand’s idyllic island of Koh Samui this month. With twelve of our stunning models on tour, MAXIM Australia and New Zealand brought its own level of hotness to host location Panorama Summit Samui. Welcome to Destination MAXIM…
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I’m originally from Russia and moved on my own to Australia at 17 to obtain an Australian education. I completed a Bachelor of Political and Social Sciences degree majoring in Government and International Relations but in 2018 I opened my dance and entertainment company called Icrave Dance and Entertainment that caters to the artistic community of Australia. Besides modelling for a few years, I’ve also competed in beauty pageants and won several titles that got me into coaching jobs as a catwalk trainer, choreographer and event organiser. I’m a title holder of Miss Russia Australia 2017, Miss Swimsuit Australia 2018, Miss Multiverse World Title 2020, Miss Elite Australia 2022 and I’ve recently produced a TV reality show about a beauty pageant that will be streaming on Amazon Prime.
When do you feel sexy?
I feel sexy when I shoot. The movements of our body and ability to deliver real emotions through the artificial lenses is a pretty empowering and sexy skill.
What have you learned about men over the years?
They are forever kids – so if we play with them, feed them and entertain them, they will climb the mountains for you!
What’s next for you?
I’m super excited to be creating a vision for the upcoming Alpha Royale fashion event at Vivid Sydney on June 10 and 11. Beautiful gowns, stunning models, Opera House backdrop and the Vivid lights – I hope to see you all there to enjoy the show!
