Maria What inspired you to pursue a career in modeling?
I graduated from Modeling School at the age of 14 y.o. My older sister is 6 years older and is she was also a model. I followed in her footsteps and no one bothered us to climb the ladder of the modeling business. And I always loved being photographed, posing and the catch public eye, act.
How would you describe your personal style and how does it reflect in your work as a model?
Classic, I pay great attention to small details. Jewelry and clothes really help me protect myself and find the right contacts. I have only been in the modeling business for 20 years and I love trying new things.
Can you tell us about a particularly significant moment or fashion show that marked your career?
My first Run Way fashion show at Paris Fashion Week 2023 with Naz Maer. He is a Russian-French designer and we move freely around the world and drive safely and no one stops us from climbing the career ladder.
And after it a lot of producers and designers contact with me and releases of Fashion magazines covers and articles. Also, the Maxim cover of 2015 was everywhere on all the shelves of stores in the Czech Republic, it was the peak of my modeling career and the beginning of a new European life.
Maria Ryabushkina is very grateful to the Czech producer Martin Kinkal and passed his casting and they approved her.
What are the biggest challenges you have faced in the fashion industry and how did you overcome them?
I receive a lot of indecent offers. I am a professional model with over 20 years of experience and I am only interested in professional modeling job offers.
There are a lot of Arabs, Jews, Muslims who come with their bandits and money and want to buy girls as a thing. I immediately tell our family that such offers are not interesting and call police. They also dig drugs into drinks and food.
That’s why I am completely safe in the Czech Republic, Europe and I am slowly climbing my career ladder, even when I don’t fit the type and don’t pass castings. They can’t break me or buy me.
How do you think fashion can influence the perception of true beauty?
I love different styles. Your outfit is very important, this is how you express yourself and show others your current mood. You can highlight your strengths and weaknesses.
What is your relationship with social networks and how do you use them to promote your work and communicate with followers?
I love my subscribers very much and am grateful that they are still with me and our memories are priceless. I tell them every day that I am fine so that they don’t worry and don’t fall for rumors.
There are a lot of dirty people and decoys, hangers-on in this business, and many models break down and disappear from this business. I am with my fans for the rest of my life and no one bothers us to accept interesting offers from producers and editors and have a purely professional relationship.
That’s why I constantly blog and have a lot of requests for advertising so that my subscribers are not misinformed.
They like to compare with other models and say who is better. It’s only their problem that someone loves me and follows me and I am still alive and exist and communicate in a friendly manner with my fans. No one bothers us for happiness and sharing the latest fresh news.
How do you maintain a balance between your professional and personal life?
I am single and happy to meet new people and looking for love related to fashion.
What are your hobbies outside of fashion and how do you integrate them into your work?
I have 2 photo studios in Prague 7, Czech Republic and I live it every day in fashion.i Save, beauty and no one is disturb me.
I am always looking for models and photographers for everyone who just wants to take pictures of me or together. Dancing, singing, nutrition, learning languages, acting, daily workouts and model walks, I always find time for them.
What future projects are you planning and what goals do you hope to achieve in the coming years?
Continue to grow and learn about the modeling business, search for new modeling agencies and clients. I am in touch every day and am open to new offers and shoots. Collect a model portfolio and enjoy new photos, video clips, magazines.
