Oleksandra Starynets, a stunningly beautiful Ukrainian model. She just started modeling a year back and is already making her presence felt in the international modeling world.
Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar did a candid interview with Oleksandra Starynets, a leading Ukrainian model where she talks about her workout, diet, hair & skincare, and her success story.
Namita Nayyar:
How did you decide to start a model career in 2019? Tell us more about this fabulous journey.
Oleksandra Starynets:
I started being involved in modelling not so long ago, but have already visited 14 countries. Model scouts approached me and offered to visit magnificent Asian countries, such as the Republic of China, Vietnam, Qatar and Thailand. During my travels, I have visited such cities as Beijing, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Doha.
Namita Nayyar:
You move from Ukraine to France, Switzerland, Taiwan, Italy, Vietnam, Cyprus and Europe for your professional career. It must be difficult for a model to adapt to new countries with their own culture and then to adjust to a modelling career in a new foreign country. What advice can you give other models in a similar situation?
Oleksandra Starynets:
First of all, I get pleasure from exploring a new country and its culture. I want to give such a piece of advice to beginning models: to achieve a high result you must enjoy the process, love with all your heart what you are doing, and only in this case you will get harmony of interaction with a photographer and his or her team. Then the result will not be long in coming.
Namita Nayyar:
You are a leading media personality, international model and brand ambassador. How do you manage to lead such a wonderful multidimensional lifestyle?
Oleksandra Starynets:
The answer is very simple! The motto of my life is to enjoy work or not to take it at all. Therefore, I do not feel tired or uncomfortable.

Namita Nayyar:
What exercises do you include in your fitness regime or workouts that you might want to share?
Oleksandra Starynets:
Every day I hold a plank, and I also love stretching, because I think the flexibility of the muscles allows you to withstand long loads, such as walking in heels for a long time. Do not forget to drink a lot of water while doing this.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you follow a special diet or strictly stick to the menu to stay physically healthy?
Oleksandra Starynets:
I always follow my diet: I do not eat fried and fatty food and do not drink cow’s milk. I love seafood as well as fresh vegetables and fruit. The ability to cook well by myself helps me in my travels.
Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and great hair. Share your hair and skin care guidelines with us.
Oleksandra Starynets:
Taking care of my skin and hair daily is also a pleasure for me. Good face skin is very important for a model. I had a lot of beauty shoots and jewellery brands advertising, where not only good face skin is needed, but also well-groomed hands. I have long fingers which looks good in the frame.
I drink a lot of water, as I said, and eat fresh fruit. But this is not enough, because the skin gets clogged from frequent makeup. Therefore, first of all, it must be cleaning! Masks, scrubs, creams are obligatory. Hair is a separate activity. I like to apply masks to my hair or just coconut oil and aloe juice. My hair has a radiant sheen, so I worked for Garnier.
Namita Nayyar:
You have been selected to appear on the cover of the October 2020 special issue of Gmaro Magazine. Tell us more about your work experience with the mentioned magazine.
Oleksandra Starynets:
In September I graced the cover of the English glossy magazine Fig Jam and in October I was featured on the cover of the Parisian edition of Gmaro Magazine. They are amazing emotions and hard work! Not everything is as simple and easy as you see on the finished cover. But it is also an invaluable experience! I am grateful to fate for this.
Namita Nayyar:
Tips and motivating words to inspiring and promising female models that are all your fans and would like to hear from you as they climb the modelling ladder.
Oleksandra Starynets:
For beginning models, first of all, I would advise to clearly assess their capacities. After all, not every beautiful girl with model parameters can stand posing for 8 hours in high heels (often smaller than your foot size) in the wind and cold in a thin dress, meanwhile the shooting group is in winter jackets with umbrellas, and not just posing, but smiling as well, interacting with a photographer.
Not everyone will be able to withstand a 12-hour flight to another continent and immediately go to auditions. Not everyone will be able to care for their skin and hair and have a healthy diet.
This is all possible only if you really enjoy it! Learn English and develop yourself as a person. Any person should be interested in talking to you. And the last tip: smile, be positive, so that a customer would be pleased to work with you!
Namita Nayyar:
Tell us about the five destinations you want to visit.
Oleksandra Starynets:
In my plans, I would single out 5 countries in which I would like to work in the near future. These are Japan, the USA, Korea, the Emirates and Singapore.
Namita Nayyar:
Five fashion brands you want to work for.
Oleksandra Starynets:
Oh! Of course it is Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga, Moschino, Jacquemus.
Namita Nayyar:
What Athleisure brands do you like to wear?
Oleksandra Starynets:
Despite my young age, I have items from Chanel in my wardrobe, bags from the new Karl Lagerfeld collection. I can skilfully combine all this with Oh Polly dresses or ordinary things from the mass market, for example, ZARA. And do not forget that it is not a thing that graces a person, but a person – a thing.
Namita Nayyar:
You have done brave photo shoots for a lot of fashion magazines, commercial campaigns, and for your Instagram@sashastarynets. What advice can you give to your compatriots?
Oleksandra Starynets:
Instagram is now one of the leading social platforms in the world! I like to run my Instagram in a natural vision of processes. I am who I am. And people write to me from all over the world! Only in the beginning of November more than 300 photographers, designers, makeup artists and other creative people in the fashion industry wrote to me. We interact and inspire one another to be creative in this difficult time for everyone.
Namita Nayyar:
What do you want to say about Womenfitness.net and to transmit to its visitors?
Oleksandra Starynets:
First of all, I would like to thank your wonderful website Womenfitness.net for the unique opportunity to share my thoughts with a huge audience. You do a wonderful job! I am for a healthy lifestyle and always read your magazine with pleasure.
Namita Nayyar:
Social media today play a vital role in transmitting your message to your followers and fans. What do you want to tell your Instagram followers?
Oleksandra Starynets:
I want to wish all my Instagram subscribers to take care of themselves and their loved ones. No matter how trite it sounds. Just call your parents, visit your grandparents. And thank you for following me.
