U vremenu u kojem je sve podložno filterima i brzom tempu rada, ona donosi tišinu koja govori, pokret koji nosi značenje, i pogled koji ostaje dugo nakon što se kamera ugasi. Njena pojava je istovremeno suptilna i snažna, a svaka scena u kojoj se pojavi — bilo da je reč o modnoj pisti, filmu ili muzičkom spotu — nosi slojeve priče, emocije i neizgovorenih istina.
Povezivala se sa umetnicima čije su vizije oblikovale savremenu estetiku, sarađivala sa legendarnim modnim kućama poput Maison Slava Zaitsev, a njeno prisustvo na ekranu u spotovima svetski priznatih muzičara svedoči o jedinstvenoj sposobnosti da stvori emociju bez ijedne izgovorene reči.
U ovom ekskluzivnom intervjuu Anna de Bekkar govori o snazi autentičnosti, unutrašnjem miru, o tome zašto moda za nju nije trend već jezik – i kako umetnost počinje tamo gde prestane površno.
Pojavili ste se u nekoliko filmova i muzičkih spotova sa međunarodno priznatim umetnicima—šta vas privlači ekranu i kako se taj kreativni proces razlikuje od manekenstva na pisti?
Postoji nešto duboko magnetsko u radu pred kamerom—ona ne hvata samo vizuelno, već i dušu trenutka. Dok je pista slavljenje forme i prisustva, ekran omogućava da se otvore slojevi emocija i zakorači u priču. To je unutrašnje, ranjivije iskustvo. Privlači me ta tiha intenzivnost—način na koji tišina, pokret i izraz mogu govoriti snažnije od reči.
Možete li podeliti neko posebno, nezaboravno ili izazovno iskustvo sa snimanja sa poznatim muzičarima?
Jedan od najnezaboravnijih projekata bio je spot za pesmu „Zvezda“ u režiji i izvođenju svetski poznatog umetnika i producenta Maksima Fadejeva. U spotu sam igrala direktorku koncerta – smirenu, autoritativnu figuru koja se nosi sa emocionalnim haosom slave, umetnosti i ljudske ranjivosti.
To nije bila samo uloga – bila je to duboko simbolična izvedba koja je zahtevala emocionalnu suzdržanost i prisutnost. Fadejev svet je bogat značenjem i dubinom, a ovaj video (koji možete pogledati OVDE) gotovo da ima filmsku težinu. Imati priliku da budem deo takve snažne i poetske naracije—posebno one koja je odjeknula širom različitih kultura—bila je prava umetnička privilegija.
Bili ste blisko povezani sa legendarnom modnom kućom Slava Zaitsev. Šta je za vas značilo biti jedan od njihovih priznatih modela?
Biti deo sveta modne kuće Slava Zaitsev je kao da kročite u živo umetničko delo. Majstor nije bio samo dizajner—on je bio pesnik tkanine i siluete. Rad za njegovu kuću nikada nije bio i nikada neće biti samo o modi: uvek se radilo o prenošenju istorije, elegancije i emocije. To je jedno od najformativnijih poglavlja u mojoj karijeri i iskrena mi je čast što sam imala poverenje da nosim viziju kuće „Maison de Mode et de Couture Slava Zaitsev“.
Koje lekcije ili inspiracije iz tog perioda i dalje oblikuju vaš rad?
Sigurna sam da stil ništa ne znači bez značenja. Kod Slave i Jegora Zaitseva svaki konac, svaki pokret nosio je nameru. I dalje nosim sa sobom taj osećaj da lepota mora imati suštinu. Bilo da sam na snimanju ili na pisti, trudim se da u svoj rad unesem istu tu svest i poštovanje.
Kako nalazite ravnotežu i lični mir u tako dinamičnom i javnom životu?
Mir je za mene unutrašnji ritual. Nalazim ga u tišini, u književnosti, u dugim šetnjama bez telefona. Naučila sam da će spoljašnji svet uvek biti bučan, pa je važno da unutar sebe izgradimo tihe prostore. Ravnoteža se ne dešava spontano—ona je nešto što svesno štitim, kao svetu granicu.
Vaš stil se često opisuje kao elegantan, intelektualan i nepogrešivo vaš. Kako biste Vi definisali svoj lični stil?
Verujem u tihu snagu. Moj stil je intuitivan—odražava ono ko sam u datom trenutku, ali uvek sa dozom bezvremenosti i namere. Privlače me komadi koji odišu inteligencijom i ženstvenošću, koji su strukturirani, ali i poetski. Za mene, elegancija nikada nije preterivanje—već uzdržanost, samopoštovanje i šapat misterije.
Da li modu doživljavate kao oblik samoizražavanja i šta želite da komunicirate kroz nju?
Moda je za mene jezik. To je način na koji se predstavljamo bez reči. Kroz nju izražavam jasnoću, unutrašnju snagu, a ponekad i nežnost. Manje mi je stalo do toga da budem viđena, a više do toga da budem shvaćena. Modom pokušavam da prenesem stanje duha—gracioznost, samopouzdanje i određenu bezvremenu emociju.
U industriji koja je brza i konkurentna, pravo prijateljstvo je retkost. Da li ste formirali bliske veze sa drugim umetnicima ili dizajnerima koje su uticale na vaš put?
Da, i te veze su prava blaga. Iza kulisa, ova industrija može biti neverovatno intenzivna—ali kada pronađete ljude koji dele vaše vrednosti i duh, te veze postaju poput spasilačkih linija. Imala sam sreću da radim sa umetnicima koji su ne samo briljantni već i duboko ljubazni. Oni me podsećaju da iza svakog remek-dela postoji ljudsko srce.
Kako održavate autentičnost u tako globalnoj i slikovno orijentisanoj areni?
Tako što ostajem verna onome što se ne vidi—svojim vrednostima, instinktima, unutrašnjem ritmu. Autentičnost nije uvek biti vidljiv—već biti stvaran, čak i u tišini. Biram projekte koji su u skladu sa mojim identitetom. Nikada me nije zanimalo da jurim sliku. Za mene, najjača izjava je jednostavno ostati svoj, bez obzira na scenu.

You’ve appeared in several films and music videos with internationally recognized artists—what draws you to the screen, and how does that creative process differ from runway modeling?
There is something profoundly magnetic about the screen—it captures not only the visual but also the soul of a moment. While runway modeling is a celebration of form and presence, screen work allows you to unravel layers of emotion and step into a narrative. It’s more internal, more vulnerable. I’m drawn to the quiet intensity of it, the way silence, movement and expression can speak louder than words.
Can you tell us about particularly memorable or challenging experiences while filming with famous musicians?
One of the most unforgettable projects was my role in the music video “Zvezda” (“The Star”), directed by and featuring the globally acclaimed artist and producer Maxim Fadeev Video. In the video I portrayed the concert director—a composed, commanding figure navigating the emotional chaos of fame, art and human vulnerability.
It wasn’t just a role—it was a deeply symbolic performance that required emotional restraint and presence. Fadeev’s creative world is rich with depth and meaning and this particular video was almost cinematic in its intensity. He approaches music like a storyteller with great emotional architecture behind every frame.
To be part of such a powerful and poetic narrative—especially one that resonated so strongly with audiences across different cultures—was a true artistic privilege. It reminded me that even within the format of a music video we can create something timeless, layered, and profoundly human.
You were closely associated with the legendary Fashion House of Slava Zaitsev. What did it mean to you to be one of their recognized models?
To be part of the legendary Fashion House Slava Zaitsev’s world is like stepping into a living work of art. Maestro was more than a designer—he was a poet of fabric and silhouette. Walking for his house wasn’t and always is not just about fashion: it was and it is and it will be about carrying history, elegance and emotion. It is a deeply formative time in my career and a true honour to be trusted with the vision of Maison de Mode et de Couture “Slava Zaitsev”.
What lessons or inspirations from that chapter of your career still influence your work today?
I’m absolutely sure that style is nothing without meaning. With such stars as Slava & Yegor Zaitsevs every thread, every gesture carried intention. I still carry that with me—this sense that beauty must be rooted in substance. Whether I’m on set or on the runway, I strive to bring that same reverence and consciousness to my work.
With such a dynamic and public life, how do you find balance and personal peace?
Peace for me is an inner ritual. I find it in silence, in literature, in long walks without my phone. I’ve learned that the external world will always be loud, so you have to build quiet spaces within yourself. Balance doesn’t happen on its own—it’s something I protect, like a sacred boundary.
Your style is often described as elegant, intellectual, and unmistakably yours. How would you define your personal style?
I believe in quiet power. My style is intuitive—it reflects who I am in a given moment, but there’s always a thread of timelessness and intention. I gravitate towards pieces that feel intelligent and feminine, structured but poetic. For me elegance is never about excess—it’s about restraint, self-respect and a whisper of mystery.
Do you view fashion as a form of self-expression, and if so, what do you aim to communicate through it?
Fashion is absolutely a language. It’s how we introduce ourselves without speaking. I use it to express clarity, inner strength and at times softness. I’m less concerned with being seen, and more with being understood. Through fashion, I try to communicate a state of mind—grace, confidence and a certain timeless emotion.
In such a fast-paced and competitive industry, genuine friendships can be rare. Have you formed any close bonds with other artists or designers that have impacted your journey?
Yes, and those relationships are rare treasures. Behind the scenes, the industry can be incredibly intense—but when you find people who share your values and spirit, those connections become lifelines. I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with artists who are not only brilliant but deeply kind. They remind me that behind every masterpiece, there is a human heart.
How do you maintain authenticity while working within such a global and image-driven arena?
By staying true to the things no one can see—my values, my instincts, my inner rhythm. Authenticity is not about being visible all the time—it’s about being real, even in silence. I choose projects that align with who I am. I’ve never been interested in chasing an image. For me the most powerful statement is simply to remain myself, no matter the stage.
