Anna De Bekkar is not only a well-known model and fashion brand ambassador, she also is someone who has three higher educations and speaks four foreign languages. L`Officiel Baltic has talked to a charming woman who harmoniously combines intelligence and beauty.

You hold three university degrees, you are an author of a series of scientific papers. Would you tell us, please, what fields of knowledge you have studied and what your research was devoted to.
Thank you for asking such an interesting question! I have always believed and still remain confident that everyone needs to gain knowledge in the areas of interest and comfort, in the areas in which they want to achieve the best results, which increases their self-esteem and helps strive for even better achievements. I am extremely grateful to my parents for giving me wonderful education opportunities in the areas that were important to me. I cannot possibly be thankful enough for their patience and respect when it comes to my life decisions! I've always been super invested into learning Philology, Philosophy, Parapsychology and as well as Psychology. My knowledge and profound interest towards Philosophy as a science naturally led me to getting a PhD in this field and I am proud of fully meeting all my parents' expectations. I am forever grateful to them! Not to mention training in the Diplomatic Academy that made it possible to be a Diplomat not only professionally, but also in my everyday realities. It allowed me to meet the smartest people and taught me to make compromise in challenging environments.

You speak 4 languages - which are they? Do you plan on learning any other languages?
Yes, absolutely. It's true - I am fluent in French, English, Italian, Russian, and I can read Spanish and Serbian. I would love to learn Japanese and especially master the writing. I hope I'll find a way to make it all happen.
How did you find yourself in the world of modeling, and at the Vyacheslav Zaitsev Fashion House School in particular?
I really go by this saying, you know: "Give your dream a chance to be". And, if it's up to you and you have the answers to the many "why's" then you'll pass every step of the way for the "what's for" - in a blink of an eye all the hurdles will be behind. To be obsessed means to love unconditionally what you are doing in spite of everything and no matter what. And, Vyacheslav Zaitsev Fashion House School provides such an opportunity: to be involved in the making of great art, overcoming your fears when it comes to a large audience, cultivating a sense of beauty, the desire for it and improving skills. Every lady can become a model, but to be one is a vocation.

What is the main thing that you get from modeling? What were the most special catwalks and shootings?
There are no compromises in modeling. There's only place for a strict guideline, so with strong character and willpower, then there will be no difficulties in challenging situations. I possess those characteristics, hence I'm not afraid of all sorts of difficulties. I would say I'm a pretty confident person, yes. Perhaps the most stunning shows are the ones I opened or have been the ambassador of. For instance, I'm the ambassador for Olga Trubikhova Design and TS Tatiana Sukhodoeva Design. I also loved Milan Fashion Week SS23, where I opened some shows and made appearances as ambassador of the Naz Maer Collection. Cannot help but mention Paris Fashion Week in March 2023, where I also walked as Prima and appeared as Ambassador of the AMR Couture collection. As for the latest Shows - this is without any doubt me, on March 26, walking for the world famous costume designer, fashion icon, Maestro lgor Dadiani.
You became the Top Model of 2022 according to the RB Awards. What does this reward mean to you?
For me it is a great honour. I am definitely a workaholic, hence hitting the brakes does not seem to be an option, BECAUSE I believe in keeping oneself busy non-stop is the rhythm of an impulsive lifestyle teeming with interesting projects and full of events. That would definitely do good and lead to happiness!

You are the Ambassador for the Olga Trubikhova Design and Tatiana Sukhodoeva TS Design brands. What values do you share?
Oh yes, we sure do work closely together and have the common take on where we stand on when it comes to the creative process and friendships, or even human relationships. This is an alliance of people obsessed with the creativity process. And they turn out to be very talented at it! They make products and accessories with such perfection - people are so glad, delighted I'd say, to be wearing their pieces!
What are some of your favourite designers/brands? What kind of clothes do you find most comfortable in your daily life and what would be your fav on the night out?
I have a lot of favourite brands which I'm happy to rock. These are brands with world names, some of them less famous - I will not be giving names so as not to unintentionally leave anyone out. The most important thing is that I am comfortable in absolutely everything - when it comes to both daily looks and night out outfits.
How do you manage to keep up with such a great shape? What diets and types of fitness do you hold on to?
Good shape for me is first of all the essence of the state of mind. If there is internal discipline, and believe me - my parents have taught me self-discipline, then the state of mind will always and under any circumstances help you maintain a great shape.

Please, do let us know about your dreams.
Well, a dream is quite an intimate thing, isn&rsquo;t it? Once spoken out loud is destined to fail at becoming true. This is a very subtle matter, which I take seriously, hence prefer to keep it in the corners of my heart. What I do want to share is my sincere wish for all you my readers and followers to stay healthy and safe. I truly wish you good luck! Take care of your loved ones, cherish every minute spent with the family. Be present, life isn&rsquo;t something to happen twice - so be tolerant of your surroundings. Lots of love, Anna!
