Zvezda našeg digitalnog letnjeg editorijala, Maxi Marie Peters, vodi nas put sunčanog Majamija gde je specijalno za ovu priliku snimila set modnih fotografija, pod vedrim nebom okupana suncem. Razgovarali smo o putovanjima, karijeri, beauty rutini ali i o onim sitnim guilty pleasure zadovoljstvima.  

Zdravo, dobro došla u Harper’s BAZAAR. Ako pričamo o tvojoj modeling karijeri, šta je najteže i najinteresantnije u tvom poslu?

Najinteresantniji je rad sa talentovanim ljudima i kreiranje nečeg prelepog što inspiriše druge. Studirala sam art direkcijij i fotografiju, tako da prirodno volim da učestvujem u celokupnom radnom procesu. To je posao koji oduzima dosta vremena i zahteva dosta discipline i izdržljivosti.

Reci nam nešto o fotografisanju za Harper’s BAZAAR?

Fotografisanje za Harper’s BAZAAR je za mene posebno. Volim modu i oduvek čitam HB. Slikali smo ćetiri outfita sa izuzetnim timom, i ja sam se sjajno zabavila. Bilo je sparno i vetrovito, ali smo na kraju dobli rezultat kakav smo želeli.

Pomenula si svoju ljubav prema putovanjima, šta je najbolje a šta najizazovnije kada je u pitanju strast prema putovanju?

Putovanja su izuzetan izvor inspiracije za mene – što vizuelno, što kulturološki. Jedna od retkih loših stvari kod putovanja je nepostojanje prave rutine. Mnogo sam produktivnija kada sam kod kuće.

Koji se proizvodi nalaze u tvojoj torbi 24/7?

Sjaj za usne u boj kože, krema za ruke i AirPods.

Izgledaš zaista zanosno. Kako izgleda tvoja makeup rutina i koliko misliš da je fitness bitan u životu?

Ja obično volim da mi je šminka jako jednostavna. Koristim puder koji nije težak za kožu (Vitalumiere Aqua by Chanel), malo korektora, kremasti bronszer (trenutno mi je omiljen Softsculpt transforming skin enhancer by MARIO) i roze rumenillo. Ako imam malo više vremena, koristim tople zemljane tonove za oči i vodootpornu maskaru.

Ako bi imala priliku da se nađeš na pustom ostrvu sa jednom od svojih omljenih poznatih ličnosti, ko bi to bio i zašto?

Ellen Lee DeGeneres, zato što bismo se bar lepo ismejale.

Deo si modne industrije, šta misliš koliko daleko je ova industrija otišla i koje se neke stvari koje bi promenila kada je moda u pitanju?

Moda se stalno menja, kao i celo okruženje vezano za industriju. Sviđa mi se što konzumenti postaju više samosvesni što dovodi to toga da se fast fashion usporava – posebno nakon pandemije. Nadam se da će se ovaj trend nastaviti i u budćnosti.

Kao putniku, koji je tvoj guilty pleasure o kome ne pričaš? Da li radije biraš specijalitete prave lokalne gastronomije ili izabereš brzu hranu?

Volim francusko pecivo i sladoled. Kad putujem u nove zemlje volim da iskusim sve aspekte lokalne kuhinje, od brze hrane do fine dining-a.

Koji su neki od kvaliteta koje tvoj partner mora da poseduje?

Iskrenost, integritet, slične vizije života i komunikativnost.

Kako vidiš zebe za pet godina? Da li ćeš se i dalje baviti modom, i ako ne, šta će to biti?

Moda mi je strast i volela bih da se nastavim da radim u ovoj industriji. Ne nužno kao model, već kao art direktor.

Naši čitaoci su veoma zainteresovani za sve što pripremaš, koju poruku bi htela da im pošalješ?

Pandemija je postavila ogrmono ogledalo ispred nas, i dozvolila nam da shvatimo koliko smo krhki, ali takođe koliko je život zaista poseban. Zato nemojte čekati da kreirate budućnost iz snova. Život je sada.

Hi, welcome to Harper’s BAZAAR. If we talk about your profession as a model, what is the most difficult and interesting thing in your work?

Most interesting is working with talented people and creating something beautiful that inspires others. I studied Artdirection and photography so I naturally love to get involved in the entire work process. It is a very time consuming job that requires a lot of discipline and endurance. 

Tell us about your amazing photoshoot for Harper’s BAZAAR? 

Shooting for Harper’s BAZAAR was very special to me. I love fashion and I’ve been reading HB since forever. We shot four outfits with an amazing team and we had so much fun! it was humid and windy but in the end we got what we wanted.

You have mentioned your love for travelling, what are the best and worst parts of the passion for travelling? 

Traveling is a great source of inspiration for me – visually and culturally. One of the downsides of traveling is not having a proper routine. I am usually much more productive at home. 

 What are some of the essentials that we can except 24/7 in your bag?

 A nude lipgloss, hand cream and  AirPods.

To start off, you look extremely gorgeous, what is your makeup regime and how much do you think fitness is important in one’s life? 

I usually like to keep it pretty simple. I use a lightweight foundation (Vitalumiere Aqua by Chanel) a little bit of concealer, a cream bronzer (my favorite right now is the softsculpt  transforming skin enhancer by MARIO) and a pink blush. If I have a bit more time I use warm earthy tones for my eyes and a waterproof mascara.

If you were given a chance to be stranded on an island with one of your favourite celebrities, who would it be and why?

Ellen Lee DeGeneres because at least we would have a good laugh. 

Being a part of the fashion industry, how far do you think that this industry has come and what are some things you would like to change about it? 

 Fashion is constantly changing and so is the overall environment of the industry. I like that consumers are becoming more self reflective and fast fashion is slowing down – especially since the pandemic. I hope this trend will continue in the future. 

As a traveller, what are some of your guilty pleasers that nobody else knows about? What would you choose between cuisines and street food? 

I love French pastries and ice cream. When I travel to new countries I like to experience all facets of the local cuisines. From street food to fine dining. 

What are some of the qualities that you seek when choosing a partner for yourself?

Honesty, integrity,  similar visions in life and communication skills

Let’s say five years from now, where do you see yourself? Would you still be in the fashion industry, if not, what will it be?

Fashion is my passion and I would love to keep working in the Industry. Not necessarily as a model but as an Art Director. 

Our readers were pretty excited to have you onboard, what is the message that you would like to give them?

The pandemic has put a giant mirror in front us, allowing everyone to realise how fragile, but also how special, life really is. So don’t wait to create the future of your dreams. Life is now.
