Inna Tsikopoulou röportajından öne çıkanlar
Yunanistan’dan Inna Tsikopoulou, modelliğe bir hobi olarak başladı. Ancak zamanla bu hobi profesyonel bir işe dönüştü. Önce ülkesindeki bir ajansla çalıştı. Daha sonra serbest model olarak yoluna devam etti. Kariyerindeki en unutulmaz an ise Polonya’daki Miss Supranational yarışması. Çünkü orada ülkesini temsil etti. Sıcak havada çekim yapmak onu zorluyor. Ayrıca makyaj ve saç hazırlığının uzun sürmesi, işin en az sevdiği yanı.
Aslında Inna Tsikopoulou’nun yanıtları, modelliğin dışarıdan görünen ışıltısının arkasındaki yoğun tempoyu da hatırlatıyor. Ayrıca serinin diğer konuklarından Ivonn Novikova ile yaptığımız röportajı da okuyabilirsiniz. Bunun yanı sıra modelliğin meslek olarak tarihçesi ve türleri için Wikipedia’daki model maddesi kapsamlı bir kaynak.
Kariyer tavsiyeleri
Öncelikle Tsikopoulou, yeni modellerin ilk adımda ülkelerindeki en iyi ajanslardan biriyle çalışması gerektiğini söylüyor. Çünkü yürümeyi, yemeyi, içmeyi ve poz vermeyi orada öğrendiğini anlatıyor. Ayrıca kendisi de önce ülkesindeki en iyi ajanslardan biriyle çalışmış. Şimdi ise serbest çalışıyor. Ancak ilk gittiği ajansa ödeme yapmış. Bir ay sonra ajans ortadan kaybolmuş ve sahte çıkmış. Bu nedenle model ile ajans ilişkisinin yalnızca profesyonel ve saygıya dayalı olması gerektiğini düşünüyor.
Bunun yanı sıra sektör ondan saç rengini değiştirmesini istemiş. O da bunu kariyeri için yapmış. Fakat bunun kendisi için büyük bir sorun olmadığını ekliyor. Öte yandan ABD’de çalışmadığı için Avrupa ile ABD arasındaki farka yorum yapamıyor. Yine de kapak çekimi de olsa editoryal çekim de olsa poz verirken odaklanmak gerektiğini söylüyor.
Kişisel tercihler
Aslında röportajın kişisel bölümünde de dikkat çeken yanıtlar var. Örneğin kot olarak rahat, erkek arkadaş kesimini seviyor. Üstelik dolabında pembe, beyaz ve siyah renkli hiçbir parçayı elden çıkaramıyor. Özellikle güzellik sırları konusunda sağlıklı beslenmeyi, iyi uykuyu ve her gün gülümsemeyi öneriyor. Aynı zamanda formunu korumak için spor salonuna gidiyor ve yüzüyor.
Hatta sabah çekimlerinden önce göz altı şişliğine karşı buzdolabında iki yemek kaşığı soğutmayı öneriyor. Boş zamanlarında ayrıca deniz kenarında yürümeyi, müzik dinlemeyi ve kedisiyle oynamayı seviyor. Sonuç olarak gelecekte kendi model ajansını kurmayı düşünüyor. Dahası on yıl sonra ailesiyle birlikte anne olmayı hayal ediyor. Kısacası Tsikopoulou kendisini olumlu, sabırlı ve duyarlı biri olarak tanımlıyor.
