Elene Makharashvili For ELLE Girl Magazine

Anobano: Tell me about your very first step in fashion business? How old were you?

Elene: I was 14 years old, when someone contacted me on facebook, she was interested in me and wanted me to go somewhere to work in some models agency, but i was too young for that hard work. Then i realized why not? i decided to go in some Georgian model agency, where i was accepted straightaway. At that moment of time TBS fashion week was beginning where i was asked to participate too. That kind of job was continuing for 2 years. After that i've got another offer from LOOKMODELS, where agents from Paris where interested in me and the first contract was done with IMG models agency.

Anobano: Which is the most important shooting, that will be always part of your life? 

Elene: : I remember when i was almost nacked in the winter, where we had a photo shooting. It was so funny and cold outside.

Anobano: Where are you now and what's your everyday job?

Elene: Now, im in Tokyo. It's the 3d month im working here and its really amazing.  I have shootings almost every day for ELLE girl magazine ( including Cover), for Mme Figaro magazine, for ELLE online (Tokyo) and so on. I've got too much experience, which is very essential for my future in that business. 

Anobano: What's your short-term plan?

Elene: In June, im going to Paris, where i will stay for one month. After that i ll take a rest and from September Work, Work and Work. I ll do my best to become very successful and will try hard with all my efforts.

Anobano: Thank you so much for having a time to make an interview with my blog. Wish you a great success because YOU CAN DO IT!!! You are really very talented girl as far as you had shootings for ELLE girl magazine right now, which will become a key in the very close future, to become a cover girl for VOGUE or Harper's BAZAAR. I promise, i ll post all information about your success and for sure, you will be.

La Perle Noire - A.K.A. George JB

I've always wanted to post about George and his talent, but the very first reason, why i post about him right now is this photo shooting with Artarea TV, who made a project "FASHION BEAT" with George. As far as everyone knows, George is a very close friend of mine. The most important thing, what i love about him is view about everything and mostly about fashion. He isn't the same as others in each condition and step of life. When i meet him, i'm always fascinated with his unlimited creative mind and always remember Coco Chanel Quote's : "in order to be irreplaceable you must be different". Maybe i exaggerate to make this parallel with George, but everyone who loves fashion, who knows and can see good inspirations, good feeling and dependence on dressing, will feel that George is really talented guy. He is a young beginner designer and i can easily say that he will be very successful. When i check out his paintings, im really proud of him. You will agree that, it's really difficult to express with your look what you really feel. George's appearance portraits what his feelings are. I really estimate his boldness, as he is trying hard not to lose himself and he doesn't care about other people’s opinions. He is a real example that if you want to be successful and you have an opportunity to be, you can really do it. Just try to do your best. If you like something, just do it, it's up to you. Someone will like it and of course someone won't. The best way to avoid negative reactions, is ENTER and EXIT in your ears. Wish him success, as George is really very talented!!!

In addition, i want to emphasize that he adores John Galliano, loves Paris and listens Edith Piaf. Hope those parts are pretty enough the see him on a good way of life.

After showing his creativity, view, Lasha really exaggerated everyone's hopes. Then i decided to check out his other collections and found out this fabulous dresses. What i want to emphasize firstly is shapes, which is really different and creative. Each dress has gorgeous details which makes them more attractive and appealing.

Iris Apfel - When Age Doesn't Matter In Love And Fashion

Iris Apfel Courtesy of MACWhen Iris Barrel was four-years-old, her mother dressed her up in a bow which elicited a screaming fit from the precocious child. As she recalls, “I got into a rage and began to whoop and holler and jump up and everyone came running because it sounded like my mother was after me with an axe! And I was pointing to my head saying, 'It doesn’t match!' I realise now that mother was always right but I didn’t like matchy matchy.”
