Diana, you're going to have a birthday soon. What kind of gifts are you waiting for?
I think the best gift for me will be a trip to the sun, to the sea - to where it's warm and where you can see and learn a lot of new and interesting things.
Do you like an exotic vacation?
I like to rest in Palm Beach - for some reason I'm attracted to this place on the globe. But in general, I really started to rest only this year - before that many, many years, almost all of my trips around the world were related to work.
Yes, there are legends about your work capacity. Do not you manage to leave for a few days somewhere without thinking about work?
I really want to learn this.
My life has been like a marathon race for many years, so now I want to try to just be happy, enjoy the rest, learn to relax completely. To rest on the beach, not only the body, but also so that thoughts do not return to work. I think that those who do their own business or just work a lot will understand me - sometimes we drive ourselves to a state when we stop noticing the elementary delights of life.
It seems that now you want to change something in your life?
Yes, this year I will change a lot. I felt it a few years ago - you know how animals feel about changes in nature. Even my astrologer confirmed these forebodings - I will not say that I communicate with him often, but sometimes it is interesting. So 2010 will be a turning point for me. I think something important will happen, very good, maybe something that I used to fear, but now it's getting closer, and I believe it's really bright and positive.
You intrigued us ...
I myself am intrigued no less! Probably, now I have a moment of revaluation of values, when you start to perceive events, people, situations in which you find yourself quite differently. What would you like to change in your life? After all, from the outside it seems, everything is perfect in it - you are beautiful, successful, you have a wonderful family ...
Well, it's not for nothing that they say - who does not take risks, does not drink champagne. Of course, I risked my life, but always very carefully. And for 10 years I was afraid to cross the line of something familiar and unexplored. I think now is the time to start life, if not from a clean slate, then from a new perception of it. Maybe it's also about the magic of numbers: in my life, there are a lot of things connected with the Troikas: I was born on April 30, in my addresses and the number of the car there are also three, the figures of 2010 "give a total of 3, the numbers at my age will be are multiples of three ...
Diana, we can not help but compliment you: you look just great! Do you have any secrets of beauty and shape maintenance?
No special secrets. Morning I start with pineapple fresh. Only opened my eyes, and before me there is a large cup ... It is a large, in this respect I have developed gigantomania. Still, despite the fact that I'm not a blonde, I have ... pink dumbbells! In the morning I can wave them a little, well, or twist the hoop - but all this in between the phone calls and household chores. I love good cosmetics for hair - shampoos, balms, often I do or make fragrant masks. And I really love quality creams - I do not forget to use them in the evening and in the morning.
And do you use simple, folk remedies?
There are a few simple, but effective recipes - for example, the aloe pulp perfectly soothes irritated or inflamed skin. Good frozen decoctions of chamomile, celandine, calendula - in the morning cubes of this herb ice are perfectly refreshed and tightens the skin. And if you want to wake up rested and happy, you can add to the pillow case pillows of rose petals, juniper shavings, twigs of lavender - at night you will envelop the fragrance that gives the maximum relaxation. And it's necessary to ventilate the bedroom before going to bed. And what was the most valuable advice in your life?
Once upon a time in the airport, I saw a woman who simply could not take her eyes off. She did not have perfect facial features and forms 90-60-90, but was so positive and pleasant that she wanted to admire.
I was so surprised that I got courage, went up to her and said that she was very beautiful, that light seemed to come from her ... "My girl, how old do you think?" She asked. I in difficulty called the number and made a mistake ... for about 20 years. Actually, she was about 60 years old.
Surely your next question was: "How do you do it"?
Yes. "What is it - genetics, do you use some unique make-up, know the secret of eternal youth?" And she answered that she tries to notice only good things in life and think only positively. And when he communicates with people, he tries to find in them the best, the most beautiful. And if she had to overcome some difficult situation, she drew conclusions from this and advised her daughters, granddaughters, girlfriends how to avoid such difficulties in the future. So she literally was a bearer of light, positive, good information. And the more she gave, the more this light returned to her.
And did you follow her experience?
I think that the secret of my success largely depends on the positive perception of life. But I worked a lot on this - and the more I made the effort, the better I felt. It is necessary to believe that everything will be fine, strive for this, surround yourself with positive people. And everything bad is neutralized, as in fairy tales!
Do you stick to diets?
I try not to eat after six, but for some reason it turns out that at this time most of all I want to! Once I lost weight in the blood group, and very successfully, but it was not easy. Now I try to force myself not to eat buns. And I can easily give up a cake, but I do not have an ordinary fresh loaf of it ...
In general, if you want to lose weight, you need to eat a certain product with a frequency of not more often than once every 4 days. If the body constantly receives the same type of products, then it ceases to produce all the necessary enzymes.
What's your favorite dish?
I love pumpkins very much, especially pumpkin soup. White fish, sometimes - pilaf. I drink herbal teas. I'm allergic to chocolate, but if I really want, I buy a hematogen from the pharmacy. And the best recipe I "sat down" with is an avocado with red salted fish. Elementary: cut the avocado in half, get a stone and eat it with a spoon, eating fish. If potatoes and bananas get stale, then avocados and fish give the body very valuable fats. And the skin is just wonderful!
And what kind of SPA procedures do you prefer?
Incredible love massage. A touching woman likes to be touched. Still with great pleasure I go to Jordan to the Dead Sea. I'm a bad swimmer, and there I can wander the water and without fear of drowning. In addition, it is very useful for the skin, not for nothing, after all, Sophia Loren several times a year goes to the Dead Sea and there is a full course of SPA-procedures. She is the embodiment of a true woman for me.
For many, you are also ideal! And what kind of women's weaknesses you allow yourself?
Sometimes I can lie in bed all day (true, it happens very rarely). Doing nothing, with a lot of pillows, a sentimental beautiful film and a plate of delicious fruits. Unfortunately, I can not in large quantities of strawberries, but you can come off with cherries, peaches, watermelons, melons. But it is important that the fruits were seasonal.
Diana, but how are you spoiling yourself?
I like to get out to Crimea in the spring. The aroma of the first flowers, mixed with the smell of the sea, is something amazing. When you sit on the terrace or pier, wrapped in a warm blanket and just do not think about anything.
Beauty secrets
If you want to lose weight, eat certain foods at intervals no more often than once every four days. And the best, very useful for the skin recipe - avocado with red fish. This is that little piece of happiness, relaxation, which allows you to come to life a little, catch your breath from a frantic rhythm.
In general, I am very influenced by fragrances - not for nothing, because now we are preparing to release a line of perfume from the Fashion House of Diana Dorozhkina.
What kind of fragrances will they be?
Necessarily fresh, with notes of white watermelon, tuberose, lily, herbal freshness. I create them with a very famous French perfumer, one of the best in the world, he worked for many world brands. In the first version, the perfume will be called D. Dream. By the way, for America and Europe this name is registered by me as the name of my trademark - we are faced with the fact that it is hard for many in the West to pronounce the name of Dorozhkin.
Diana, perfume will be sold not only in Ukraine, but also in the West?
Yes, in Palm Beach I have a boutique, there is a possibility of sales in Cannes. It remains only to get out of the crisis, and then we will launch sales across all countries and continents.
Do you focus on the tastes and preferences of women in the country where your show will be held or will your clothes be sold?
Always! Each of my collections I do, based on the mentality of the country in which I'm going: there are different preferences, my own dimensional grid.
What is the difference between your image of a Ukrainian woman and an American woman and a European woman?
Ukrainians are very fond of decorating themselves. This is at the level of genetics. A Ukrainian girl can not afford to leave the house with unreasoned details of the wardrobe, without make-up. Europeans are philosophical about this, for them convenience and correct, stylish simplicity are more important.
And what about the Americans?
America is big, and the New York collection is very different from what I'm cooking for Miami or Los Angeles. Hollywood is pathos, radiance, there is a lot of kitsch. Miami - necessarily bright juicy colors, a lot of light, a lot of streaming natural fabrics ... All on a sunny, oceanic theme! Washington requires a more rigorous, minimalistic filing, clear lines.
There are some simple, but really effective beauty recipes. For example, aloe pulp soothes irritation well, and frozen herbal decoctions perfectly refresh and tighten the skin. In Moscow, its features - daytime clothing there is very different from the evening outfits for various pathos activities and get-togethers. But with all this the collection that I represented on January 7 in Cannes at the Christmas show, I'm taking to Moscow with only minor changes - there it will be great to look and read.
Diana, do you like experiments with your own image?
About 14 years ago, I decided to try to color - a little highlight the strands. But, firstly, I had a very persistent pigment, and secondly, I just did not recognize myself in the mirror. I went to the hairdresser and ... cut my hair under the hedgehog. With a short haircut, I really liked my husband, he often asked when I would cut it again. Of course, everything happens in life, but so far I do not want to, not to get a haircut, or change the color of my hair. I realized that I can not be a blonde, I just do not feel myself with it - I'm an incorrigible brunette.
Diane, you're ready for change. But what of your immediate plans would you like to accomplish in the first place?
I really want to restructure the schedule. I have a long, untouched subscription to the sports club, I want to do yoga after all. And in general I want to give myself much more time. Of course, I will continue to create, work, but not forgetting about myself. Still I want to communicate more with friends and girlfriends, more time to devote to my daughter. In general, you need to place the accents correctly.
And more ... It is important that after successful displays, moments of euphoria, happiness, when after applause, flowers and compliments comes devastation and, probably, loneliness, next to you was one who will fill you with tenderness and care.
Diana, who is such a person to you?
My 12-year-old daughter Dasha - a very positive, incredibly characteristic little man, who, based on her childish and youthful maximalism, tells me everything that comes to her mind.
She is also my main critic. And who else ... You know, let it remain a mystery ... After all, every real woman should have a secret!
Diana Dorozhkina, whose real name no one knows, is very lucky in life, because she manages everything - and do her favorite work and watch for herself.
