Maria Bogdanovich Biography

Over a cup of coffee, Maria told us about proven images, objects of collecting and her friendship with the Italian brand I Pinco Pallino, the face of the advertising campaign of which she was a “bayucker”. I remember that the action made me so strong impression that after the performance I asked my parents to certainly give me to the ballet. So from the age of seven I began to study, which by ballet standards is already late.

At ten, I entered the Moscow State Academy of Choreography in MGI and, studying with the teacher Sofia Nikolaevna Golovkin, successfully graduated from the Academy. The ballet school gave me a lot: first of all, it raised character, determination. Thanks to her, both endurance and patience appeared. Such a difficult thing as the ability to work in a team is also from there. There are much more pluses.

But what I did not have was childhood. Honestly, I do not regret it at all. As for the plans, I have a lot of them, including the ballet school. I have known the cult brand of children's clothing I Pinco Pallino for a long time, and the idea to work together appeared when the brand’s PR managers saw on Instagram the Dancing With US project, which I actively worked with at that time.

This account is filled with photographs of dancers, whom the photographer did not capture in the dance hall or even on stage, but in city landscapes: against the backdrop of cultural monuments, gardens, on the seashore. Look at their page. Designers I Pinco Pallino had long had the idea to make a collection inspired by the ballet theme. It’s just that the interest grew into something more, and full cooperation began.

First, we made a beautiful capsule collection of outfits, and then removed an advertising campaign with children involved in the ballet class. I think it turned out very interesting!

Jeans and a shirt are always a win -win option! You understand the versatility of such a kit when plans for the evening appear, and you do not have time to change clothes. And in this case, it is quite enough to simply change comfortable hairpin shoes, add a bright lipstick - and the evening image is ready! In general, I am not a big fan of fashion experiments.

I think it is better to leave this venture for those who do it well. And in my wardrobe there is a place for democratic brands. A high class and mass market can be perfectly combined with each other. Often, excellent images are born from such a union. Rather, a creative mess reigns in it, but nevertheless, everything in it is on the shelves. I am happy to collect vintage. The subject of collecting is mainly rare bags and accessories.

Shoping never is a waste of time for me. For me it is always therapy. A sleeping beauty is a good dream - this is the main thing for me. This is the best beauty ritual, I can safely recommend everyone. My morning begins with a cup of good coffee. And for me this is the best beginning of the day! Photo: Manakai.
