Polina Sokhova, Deputy Chief Editor, Interview

The heroines of the first Wonderzine publication do different things - they edit magazines and websites, open stores, invent clothes, arrange meals, sing in a group, do art and manage international companies. One thing unites them - everything that they do causes the processes around to accelerate. They are energetic, professional, self-sufficient and attract the same to them. No wonder almost everyone asked the question "What girls inspire you?" They answer that they do not know how to equal people who they personally do not know. But on their own equal other girls who will become our heroines very soon.

How have the fashion and media industries changed during the time you work in them?

It seems to me that both there and there have become more young people in general and young professional women in particular. People became bolder to launch their own independent projects: clothing brands, stores, agencies, websites. It's great.

What girls inspire you and why?

Men continue to inspire me, yet there are decent people among them.

What do you miss in Moscow?

On the one hand, life in Moscow becomes more fun, because there are lots of places where you can spend time and money with or without benefit. On the other hand, the people who live here are tense all the time, focused on their successes and earnings. I lack in Moscow people who trust each other and love each other.

Name the new best projects.

The newest is not always the best. I like what the Garage team does. Thanks to people like them, the world knows that modern people live in Russia too. They opened the pavilion of the architect Shigeru Ban, launched their own magazine in Russia and are now opening an educational program. And I admire everything that Olga Sviblova does.
