Alisiia Staselkova Interview

• Are there any specific fashion trends or styles that you enjoy experimenting with or incorporating into your own look?

Yes, I love experimenting with minimalism and 90s aesthetics—clean silhouettes, neutral tones, and statement accessories. I also enjoy mixing structured pieces with vintage or street-style elements to create contrast and personality in my look.

• What is your greatest weakness and how have you tried to overcome it?

My greatest weakness is perfectionism. I tend to overanalyze my performance or visuals, but I’ve learned to let go and trust the creative process. I now focus more on the energy and authenticity I bring to each shoot rather than chasing perfect results.

• What are your strengths?

I’m adaptable, professional, and deeply connected to visual storytelling. I bring strong presence on camera, understand direction quickly, and can switch between moods and concepts with ease. I am also highly creative and enjoy bringing my own artistic touch to the shoots. Additionally, I find it easy to connect with people and collaborate with teams, making the overall experience smoother and more enjoyable.

• What are you passionate about?

I’m passionate about fashion as a form of art and expression. I love the creative energy behind photo shoots and runway shows. I’m also interested in sustainability and how the industry can evolve to be more responsible.

• What aspect of the modeling industry are you most passionate about?

I’m most passionate about the collaborative process—working with designers, photographers, stylists, and creative teams to bring a vision to life. I also love the ability to tell a story and embody different identities through clothing, movement, and mood.

• Could you share your career goals and aspirations for the next five years, both within and beyond the modeling industry?

In the next five years, I want to work with international fashion houses, walk in major fashion weeks, and build a strong editorial and commercial portfolio. Beyond modeling, I aim to explore creative direction, possibly launch my own brand, and support new talent in the industry.

• What inspired you to pursue a career in modeling? Was there a specific moment or experience that influenced your decision?

I’ve been fascinated by modeling since childhood—I’d spend hours watching runway shows and flipping through magazines. As I grew up, this passion only grew stronger. Modeling became more than a dream—it became my life. I can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

• Who is your favorite model and why? How has their work influenced your own modeling journey?

Naomi Campbell is one of my biggest inspirations. Her elegance, power, and career longevity are incredibly motivating. She broke boundaries and redefined what it means to be a supermodel. Her confidence and consistency inspire me to be bold and versatile.

• Do you have a favorite fashion designer or brand that resonates with your personal style or aesthetic? What draws you to their designs and philosophy?

I admire Alexander McQueen for the emotional depth and theatrical storytelling in his collections. I’m also inspired by Jacquemus for its playful minimalism, bold proportions, and fresh approach to elegance. Their work reflects both creative freedom and strong identity.
