When I came to Cyprus 2 years ago I realized and understood that I want to work as model, so from this, it is the start of my modelling career! SJ: Well you have certainly accomplished a lot in just a small period of time and I am sure you have so much more\u00a0success\u00a0ahead. \u00a0So what\u00a0do you do when you’re off-duty?<\/p>\n U.M: <\/b>When I have free time during the weekend, I just relax, I go out with my friends, or just sit at home and eat chocolates, though now that it is summer it is good to go to the beach, but now I do not have so much time because I have exams, but after as soon as I finish I will do \u00a0it very often! SJ: Oh yes us girls need our Sun, and your also taking exams! It is amazing how you can fit modelling, exams and everything else into your schedule even me! \u00a0 Tell me if you were to choose how would be \u00a0your top designer?<\/p>\n U.M:<\/strong>\u00a0I do not really have a favourite designer, it is doesn’t matter if they are expensive\u00a0labels\u00a0 or cheap clothes, \u00a0if \u00a0I like it and it’ s \u00a0good material I will buy it!<\/p>\n SJ: I also\u00a0want\u00a0to ask how you maintain your complexion and self, could you tell me what are your top 5 beauty essentials?<\/p>\n UM:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0I\u00a0think the most important beauty is what is inside the person, of course on outside too, I do not really have \u00a0particular beauty regime, I am just as I am, though \u00a0must to stick to \u00a0exercising\u00a0because I have a bit of a\u00a0sweet-tooth\u00a0but sill I’m even lazy to do that. SJ: Lastly can describe yourself in five words or less<\/p>\n UM:\u00a0<\/strong>I think I’m very\u00a0sensitive\u00a0 I like to have fun and I like positive\u00a0people\u00a0 I’m also very trustworthy and this makes me also trust other people very easily, this is my problem., in general I’m a nice person.<\/p>\n A very special thank you to Utkina Maria a new model “to-watch”, \u00a0a model whom has managed in very little time to have a very positive start to her modelling career.<\/p>\n SarahJane Kyprianou<\/em><\/p>\n Fashion Columnist\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/em> One of the islands’ s top models and soon no doubt championing her way onto the wish lists of Fashion Royalty Utkina Maria.
