Daria returns from NYC

Fresh on the scene is the local Daria! The bright eyed, statuesque beauty just returned from a great first show season in New York Fashion Week walking for Libertine amongst several others.  After returning to Ottawa Daria took some time to answer a few questions for us about her recent experience in New York and a couple tips for travelers or new models going to New York for the first time.


Name:
Daria Ponomareva
 
Mother agency:
Angies Models and Talent
 
How long is your contract?
5 years
 
What could you tell us about the market for new models/models whom have not yet been?
 
The market is very good in New York because it needs everything. Not just commercial and not just high fashion so everyone gets a chance.
 
What is something interesting/different about the city?
 
As they say.. "the city that never sleeps"
And that is true. New Yorkers are out at all hours of the day. Castings sometimes happen at 11pm. It's much busier with a lot more people around especially tourists. New York also has several opportunities for new models.
 
What is the shopping like?
 
Shopping in NYC is amazing. You can find stores for absolutely anything you want to buy and with different prices everywhere.
 
Any current fashion trends that stand out/ different that you have noticed?
 
I have noticed a lot of models wear transparent white/black blouses that you can get from American Apparel, and long light skirts. Some dress classier with jackets from Zara and shoes from Zara.
 
Make-up trends that you have noticed?
 
A lot of the things I did notice involved natural makeup so I think that is what is "in" at the moment.
 
Favorite thing about working in this market?
 
My favorite thing about working in this market is that I get a chance to try everything and it is basically a whole new experience.
 
Something you'd recommend to eat for somebody who has never been?
 
I recommend drinking "Neuro" drinks and eating lots of healthy stuff :)
