Namita Nayyar:
You have walked the runways for the world’s finest fashion designers and brands namely Chanel, BCBG, Kenzo, Karl Lagerfeld, and more. You have also appeared in editorials for magazines including L’Officiel, Harper’s Bazaar, and Grazia. Tell us more about your experience working for them and how these professional achievements have acted as a motivator to further your professional career as a supermodel and also as a catalyst to achieve spectacular heights in modeling?
Valentina Beli:
Thank you! Of course, those big names in the industry helped me a lot. First of all, I was able to get a Green Card based on my modeling achievements. Secondly, I have a good lifestyle and wealthy life in the USA and I pay for it by myself, from my modeling earnings. For a girl born in a poor family in a small hometown near Europe, it is a huge achievement. And I’m grateful every day for all those opportunities.

Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding fashion model girls, who all are your fans and shall like to know from you for their climb to the ladder of success in the field of modeling?
Valentina Beli:
The best advice is “be yourself!” It’s so easy to cheat yourself, to change your soul chasing your dreams. Remember: modeling is just a job. It should take about 30% of your life, not more. Love, family, friends, health, education should be constantly with you. If you ever sacrifice your health to fit someone’s standards it will not be back. If you ever betray your love, your partner, modeling will not warm up your night time.
Namita Nayyar:
You have done bold photo shoots with SNC Magazine, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, Amica, Cosmopolitan, Clara, Vulkan, Trend Prive, Fashion TV magazine, New York guide. How you are so body confident and advice to your compatriots?
Valentina Beli:
It’s simple 🙂 practice, practice, and again practice. I have thousands of pictures in my portfolio, thousands of clients, and jobs behind, but I’m still doing new test shoots and practicing new poses, angles, and concepts.

Tell us more about your endeavor Kopf Handcrafted Bags.
Valentina Beli:
KOPF bags are our beloved project. The idea, design, and production belong to my husband Alex. Alex creates and handcrafts every single detail of the bag. It’s more about art so far, not about money. We were published in prestigious magazines and covers. KOPF brand is represented by art galleries like Saatchi, NOT JUST A LABEL, and others.
But we have plans to make the production faster and more affordable but not sacrificing the quality and a handmade basis.
