Let's take as a basis an article from the distant 2011...
Let's jump into the past...
this is the whole tsimes, girls!
There are no others, and those are far away .. Cool, right?
So, who are the It-girls?
The term "it-girl" is increasingly appearing in the press and is used to refer to the rich and famous girls without a specific line of work. They are the main characters of gossip columns, regulars of fashion shows and nightclubs.
It girl has several meanings, ranging from "trendy girl, socialite, rich slacker, glamor girl, style icon, popular person" to versions such as "Internet girl" and even "Italian girl".
But what are they famous for? AT English language there is an ideal definition of the it-girls phenomenon - “famous for being famous”, that is, “famous for being famous”.
WHO IS "IT"?
Rudyard Kipling was the first to use the word “it” to denote a certain personality trait that is attractive to the opposite sex in the story “Mrs. Bathurst”: “It is not beauty, so to speak, that is important, and beautiful words speaking is not required. The main thing is this. It happens that a woman just walks down the street, and a man can no longer forget her.
Then there was the English novelist Elinor Glyn, author of It:
“It is something that radiates an attractive force. This is both a property of the mind and physical attractiveness. This is self-confidence and indifference to whether you like or not. That's what It is."
The first official it-girl was the silent film actress Clara Bow, who in 1927 starred in the film It (It) based on the book by Eleanor Green. The heroine of Bow is a simple saleswoman, who, thanks to her appearance and ingenuity, fell in love with her boss's son and became well received in high society. A sort of Thackeray Becky Sharp of the 1920s.
Do you recognize?
Yeah, Clara got a little cosplay in Gatsby
This definition is firmly entrenched in the actress and in real life. So one of the first sex symbols of Hollywood, without knowing it, laid the foundation for a whole phenomenon.
Let's approach the issue seriously, so to speak academically, and classify this subspecies of the beautiful human race.
European It girl
In Europe, including Italy, the concept of it girl is associated primarily with fashion and style.
It irl has a great sense of fashion and latest trends. She creates in her wardrobe a style of clothing that everyone else imitates. She has only the latest fashion items in her closet. However, she does not blindly follow trends, but interprets them and makes this style unique. You can call her a style icon.
It doesn't have to be a singer, model, super-rich girl or socialite. It usually only matters impeccable taste and sense of trends. Such girls often appear on the pages of fashion magazines and at fashion shows.
Such girls often ask fashion trends- their photos are posted by photographers in fashion blogs, from which all famous designers draw their inspiration. Such girls can also be called people who influence fashion.
It can be said that if there are "nose" in the perfume business that have an increased sensitivity to smells, so in fashion there are "it girls" who have an increased sensitivity to style and trends.
American It Girl.
Age doesn't matter here, fame matters. And they are called like this: "Famous because they are famous."
The title of It Girl is worn mainly by representatives of show business and Hollywood.
Russian It girl
In our country, it-girl is inextricably linked with the concept of socialite. This is a girl who has a lot of money, most often does not work (but not always, now there is a certain tendency that Russian It girls become designers of their own clothing lines, open exhibitions and galleries), constantly hangs out, can make art or, for example, act on TV, but not full-time, but just for fun.
They are called young, beautiful, ambitious, necessarily expensive and fashionably dressed, having an impeccable style. The emphasis from style in Russia is shifting to wealth, luxury of life, fashion, status and the ability to get everything.
Most often these are daughters or wives of famous and influential people.
From It Girls in Russia, Natalia Goldenberg, Miroslava Duma, Uliana Sergeenko, Ksenia Sobchak are often singled out (some do not classify her as an It Girls due to the fact that she actively earns her own living)
Let's get down to the most delicious - a review of already experienced and just beginners it-girls. Let's cry from the surging nostalgia... And don't forget, this is 2011.

Poppy Delevingne
POPPY DELEVIGNE
Who is she: daughter of the director of personal shopping at Selfridges, model and aspiring style icon. Poppy Delevingne belongs to a new generation of it-girls, her name is just beginning to appear in the gossip column, but she is confidently pushing more experienced competitors. Since childhood, Poppy was surrounded by the greatest figures in the fashion industry, so it is not surprising that the girl decided to develop her career in this direction. As a model, Delevingne has modeled for Louis Vuitton, Chloe and Balenciaga, and has also appeared on the covers of Tatler, L'Officiel and Vogue.

Peaches Geldof
PEACHES GELDOF

The girl's career began at the age of 14 with an author's column in Elle Girl magazine. She then began to call herself a freelance journalist, and her publications appeared periodically in such diverse publications as The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and Nylon. Over time, Geldof was less and less listed as the author of articles and more and more often became their heroine.
In the summer of 2008, 19-year-old Peaches married her boyfriend, musician Max Drummey, the frontman of Chester French. The wedding ceremony took place in Las Vegas. However family idyll lasted only three months, and in November of the same year, Peaches filed for divorce, arguing that, when she got married, she did not think that her marriage would last a lifetime.

Now let's move on to our domestic ones.
KSENIA SOBCHAK
Who is she: daughter of the first mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak and member of the Federation Council Lyudmila Narusova, a journalist and TV presenter who managed to get out of the shadow of her famous parents. Ksenia Sobchak, of course, cannot be considered an it-girl in the classical sense. She has long been a working girl who seriously irritated the public with the image of a blonde in rhinestones and diamonds, did not reject the opportunity to be a kept woman, and eventually achieved fame and recognition through hard work. Sobchak became a cult it-girl of the early 2000s, the first representative of Russian show business to receive the titles of "socialite" and "party girl".
The girl's cavaliers included Umar Dzhabrailov, Vyacheslav Leibman, Sergey Kapkov and many other well-known and wealthy businessmen and politicians. In the summer of 2005, the press relished the details of the separation of Xenia and Alexander Shustorovich. The wedding was supposed to take place on July 1, but Sobchak was never able to demonstrate Wedding Dress, which was specially made for her by Valentin Yudashkin. This story became one of the main secular scandals of the year. With the rest of it-girls, the girl has in common a love for social events and scandalous behavior. This is where the similarity ends - today Ksenia Sobchak is involved in a variety of projects. Her most famous incarnations are a TV presenter (“Dom-2” on TNT, “Top Model in Russian” on Muz-TV), a radio host (“Everyday Barabaki” on “Silver Rain”) and a columnist (really iconic, compared to other heroines of the list, first-tier glossy columns: GQ, Tatler, Sex and the City). Today Sobchak is actively moving away from the scandalous image and promotes the values of the so-called. "new sincerity" without false pathos.
Miroslava Duma
MIROSLAVA DUMA
Who is she: daughter of a member of the Federation Council Vasily Duma, wife of businessman Alexei Mikheev and the most fashionable journalist in the country. 28-year-old Miroslava Duma does not miss a single fashion show, exhibition or presentation. AT high-profile scandals the girl was not noticed, she does not quarrel with other secular ladies and does not cheat on her husband. By the way, she met him while still a student at MGIMO. Alexei prefers not to flicker in the press, but his wife has long become her own in a secular get-together. Together they raise two children.
Miroslava Duma's career began with a column in Harper's Bazaar. There was a time when her candidacy was considered almost seriously for the position of editor-in-chief of the publication. Now Mira continues to write small columns for glossy magazines, maintains her blog and does charity work - she is a co-founder of the Planet of the World Foundation, whose tasks include the implementation of projects in the field of culture and education. However, the title of just a sweet and stylish girl brings Duma the greatest popularity - she is very praised for her subtle sense of style on the pages of magazines and fashion blogs.
Natalia Goldenberg
NATALIA GOLDENBERG
Who is she: one of the main fashionistas in Moscow, a columnist and just media person. Natalya Goldenberg almost always goes out accompanied by her childhood friend Miroslava Duma. Previously, the girls studied together at school, and now they are conquering Moscow bohemia together. Natalia is a graduate of the Russian State University for the Humanities, who has been fond of fashion since childhood. At first, Goldenberg was listed as a merchandiser at the Central Department Store, then she became a buyer and director of the Kova & T brand. The unique eclectic style ensured her a permanent presence on fashion blogs, invitations to all the notable fashion shows and the authorship of columns in several magazines.
Tzipporah by Natasha Goldenberg show 2011
Getting tired of the role of a girl from the fashion world, but having a very indirect relationship to it, Natalia presented her first collection of her own brand Tzipporah, at the presentation of which all star friends were present.
Uliana Zeitlina
ULYANA TSEITLINA
Who is she: a secular lady with a dark past, a four-story mansion on Rublyovka and an indefinite source of income. Uliana Tseitlina is another Russian socialite and friend of Ksenia Sobchak, who, however, differs in that her friends began to explore the spaces of social events together, and therefore they never tried to suspect this relationship of self-interest.
According to Ulyana, she and Ksenia arrived in Moscow at about the same time, lived next door, saw each other often - and became friends. Today the roads ex girlfriends they parted a bit - Ksenia took the path of active functioning in the media market and brings out the beginning socialites, and Ulyana remained a classic "socialite lady" in the chronicle of fashion magazines.
Zeitlina was born in Leningrad in the family of an artist and editor-in-chief of the publishing house of the Academy of Sciences. After school, the girl entered the Faculty of Interior and Design at the Serov School. In parallel with her studies, she worked part-time at the Leningrad House of Models. Further, in the life of Ulyana, a period began, the details of which are shrouded in mystery. It is known for certain that in the late 1980s, Zeitlina flew to Australia, where she remained for a long 11 years. But the reasons for the sudden flight from her homeland are not completely clear: she herself says that she went with her husband to visit friends and decided not to return to Russia. Another version is that the girl was hiding from former lover- crime boss.
Returning to Moscow in 2000, Ulyana became one of the most prominent secular characters in the capital. Tseytlina was the first to dare not hide the fact that her main source of income is the financial assistance of wealthy fans, one of whom gave her beloved a house on Rublyovka. The name of another former gentleman, who became the father of her son, Ulyana carefully hides from the public. Sometimes a girl still tries to earn a living on her own: she was the host of the program "Trip to Rublyovka" on Muz-TV, wrote a book on how to look good, and her latest project is shooting in Dima Bilan's video "Dreamers".
Ulyana Sergeenko
ULYANA SERGEENKO
Who is she: wife of co-owner and CEO of Rosgosstrakh Daniil Khachaturov and friend of Ksenia Sobchak (alas, alas!).
A native of Ust-Kamenogorsk, Ulyana Sergeenko first appeared on the pages of the press as a new companion of the oligarch. Daniil Khachaturov brought to light new passion while still officially married to his first wife, but soon divorced, despite 15 years of marriage. Sergeenko regularly attended all social events with her husband, and while her husband was busy, in the company of Ksenia Sobchak, Polina Kitsenko and Alena Akhmadullina, she demonstrated outfits from the latest collections, sitting in the front row of fashion shows. It was friendship with Sobchak, as is often the case in a party, that brought Ulyana from the category of interesting glamorous young ladies with the signature "society lady" into the category of almost independent secular characters.
It is yet to completely get rid of the prefix "secular lady" or "companion" - now she is solving this issue with the help of her passion for photography. All the representatives of the Russian secular party got into the lens of Ulyana (fortunately, most of them at that time were already her close friends). This year (my note - in 2011) Ulyana decided to show her another talent to the public and, with the support of Vika Gazinskaya, presented the debut collection of clothes from her own brand Ulyana Sergeenko.
Yana Raskovalova
YANA RASKOVALOVA
Who is she: former model, and now the wife of businessman Vadim Raskovalov and the mother of his two children. Yana Raskovalova went the usual way for the Russian it-girl - at first she was a model, at one of the events she met her future husband, thanks to whom she became one of the most mysterious secular lionesses in Moscow. And this is despite the fact that the main and only achievement of the girl in the modeling field is shooting in the video of her longtime friend, her husband Dmitry Malikov, “My, Mine”. Apparently, it was this work that led us to the paraphrase that has already become a classic - "mine"
My, my
In the press, Yana is also called the stylist of Ksenia Sobchak, an art critic and an aspiring designer. It is thanks again to her star friend that the name of Yana quite often flashes in the gossip columns.
Varvara Remchukova
VARVARA REMCHUKOV
Who is she: daughter of the editor-in-chief of Nezavisimaya Gazeta Konstantin Remchukov, MGIMO student, conducting winter holiday ski resort in Aspen. Varvara Remchukova is only 21 years old, and for an it-girl she has a surprisingly impeccable reputation: the MGIMO student does not drink or smoke, she does not skip classes, she behaves decently at parties and fashion shows, she has not been seen in high-profile scandals. Demonstrates a commitment to retro style and has a reputation as a girl "from a very good family."
The only weakness of the budding it-girl is her love for men much older than her. In 2009, she was regularly seen in the company of Andrei Malakhov, for some time it was even rumored that the couple got married, but this, as we know, never happened. In addition, Varya appeared at events arm in arm with Nikolai Uskov, which was also perceived as the participation of a family friend in the socialization of the debutante of the world. The girl sometimes writes articles for L`Officiel and Nezavisimaya Gazeta and is included in all lists of the most enviable brides countries.
Barbara's requirements for the narrowed for that shaggy period:
A potential fiancé of the lovely Varya must possess at least three qualities: be able to keep up a conversation with Pope Constantine about Russia's place in modern world, with mother Elena - about the meaning of kulebyaki in modern Russia, and then - he must be head over heels in love with their daughter. Otherwise, he can't see family dinners in Bolshoi Levshinsky Lane and Saturday brunches in Lipki, like their own ears.

After the girl married an Italian count or Baron De Conte, whom, by the way, no one had ever seen, Maria was able to relieve herself of the burden of responsibility for the material well-being of her loved ones. Now the girl does what she likes - goes to parties and major events. The media, on the other hand, stubbornly write off the lack of need to work for Conte's romance with the chairman of the board of OAO Tyumenskaya oil company» Viktor Vekselberg.
AT free time Maria writes: on account of Conte, the writer of the book "Troubles in Rublev's Style" and "When Love Touches the Soul ...", as well as a collection of "SMS-poems". The legend says that the girl discovered her writing talent in herself when she was waiting for the birth of her daughter.

At one time, I also changed the ring of my husband (businessman Vadim Raskovalov. - Ed.). In honor of our 15th wedding anniversary, I laid out a path of 15 white diamonds on the inside of the jewelry, complementing it with one blue and three pink ones - in honor of our daughters and son. From the outside, the path is not visible to anyone, but it is important for me that Vadim knows about it.

Yana Raskovalova I have always been a fan of unique jewelry - they should combine the sophistication of antique jewelry and the taste of modern designer jewelry.

Bottom line: I don’t even recognize the one I flirted with on the street, and the second one became a true friend of the family, got the beauty Yana, who, in turn, became my friend and adviser on all matters of beauty and style.

One of the craftswomen whose works amaze the imagination and reduce the size of the wallet is Yana Raskovalova. Even yesterday's it-girl today is a famous designer and jewelry maestro. Let's see how a girl whose life was filled with nightclub lights suddenly changed her role and became the owner of a sought-after brand.
It-girls promote girlfriend's products

Except Hollywood star, who appeared on the red carpet wearing jewelry under the Yana brand, Ksenia Sobchak, Uliana Kovalenko, Natalia Vodyanova, and many others are among the admirers of the young jeweler's work.
student and model
Before the appearance of the first jewelry collection, the girl had to go from model to businessman's wife. St. Petersburg is the place where Yana Raskovalova was born. The biography of the girl begins her story in a fairly rich family: her dad is one of the leaders of an organization called Spetsstroy of Russia. As a child, the little girl not only went to school, but also attended a musical institution in the piano class. Then she seriously took up the study of art history and the history of the development of design.
As a student, Yana Raskovalova participates in the Miss St. Petersburg contest. The amazing resemblance of the girl with did not go unnoticed, and the bright beauty got the title of "Vice-Miss". The girl's father was shocked. However, she herself was very pleased with the comparison with the French actress.
From Russia to Europe and back
After some time, Yana Raskovalova wins a design competition held at the institute and leaves for Italy. There she will design clothes for a large knitwear brand. The beauty of the Russian girl was also appreciated abroad: a rather adult Turkish businessman falls in love with Yana without memory. However, she has already given her heart to the Petersburger Vadim.
With a businessman northern capital Yana Raskovalova met at one of the parties. Vadim at first sight fell in love with a bright beauty. Upon her return from Italy, he offered Yana a hand and a heart. And the young people got married. Then they had children one by one: Veronica, Vadim and Vasilisa. The last one was born a few years ago.
The birth of a jewelry brand
The husband of Yana Raskovalova became the very impulse that inspired the woman to create her first collection. He initially helped her both financially and, more importantly, morally.
Yana's first jewelry collection was released in November 2011. Since that moment, her products have been produced under the Yana brand. The venue for the exhibition was the territory of the Podium Concept Store, located on Kuznetsky Most. The debut collection was dedicated to the youngest daughter of the jeweler, Vasilisa. That is why the whole hall was decorated with large and small vases with field cornflowers.
Materials used by the girl
Almost every collection of the jeweler contains cameos, which are adorned with diamonds and other precious and semi-precious stones. This is her kind of calling card. Cameos are made from various materials: precious stones and even seashells. These elements adorn rings, pendants and even hairpins. And, of course, all products are strictly exclusive. Each accessory is the result of painstaking self made masters from all over Russia. At the moment, more than a hundred young talents from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg and other cities work for the Yana brand.
Yana Raskovalova works with many materials: gold of various alloys, platinum, precious and semi-precious stones, and so on. The jeweler believes that turquoise, sapphires, tourmalines, corals carry no less energy than diamonds. That is why in Yana's collections you can find jewelry with such elements. It is noteworthy that she plans to soon release a book on the meaning of semi-precious stones in order to help clients make choices that are consistent with astrology. The mixture of different techniques and the rich imagination of a woman give an amazing result: the jewelry is truly amazing.
Yana Raskovalova, a jewelry designer and founder of the Yana brand, told Buro 24/7 about her love for yoga, the importance of using tonal products, and how massage and bathing replace her with multi-stage and complex procedures at a beautician
Morning beauty ritual?
Yoga. I've been taking care of her for 10 years. This is the most loved and effective face mask. There is simply no time for complex and multi-stage home procedures in the morning in the bathroom. It gives me so much energy that other sports do not give. After yoga, I can move mountains.
Favorite beauty treatment?
I don't go to salons. I don't do any newfangled procedures, I don't do "beauty" injections. All I need is a bath and a massage. I am an absolute bath addict, so to speak. I go to the bath at least twice a week. When you enter this constant mode, the body begins to ask for even more, and I do not refuse it. I have not yet seen a single procedure like a visit to the bath, which is able to give the skin and body an excellent tone, give the face a natural glow.
Favorite skin care product/brand?
I am an adherent of biocosmetics. I don’t have a favorite product or brand, I change them all the time. The only requirement is that it should be eco-cosmetics that do not contain parabens, silicones, sulfates. This is very important for me. With the transition to natural cosmetics, my skin is no longer dependent on creams. Apparently, these harmful additives are still addictive. My dryness is finally gone.
Beauty taboo?
Never say never". We all grow up, change, our ideas and attitudes towards any kind of things change. I don’t know what will happen to me in 15 years, so I don’t promise. I guess I'll never dye my hair green color. (Laughs.) But this is not certain, some circumstances will suddenly occur and I will do it.
What is your favorite perfume?
Yana, of course. (Laughs.) There are many of them, yes, but they are all dearly loved by me. I was and still am a fan of fragrances, my family and my friends can attest that I was absolutely obsessed with them. I was always looking for the most exclusive and rare fragrances, in collaboration with perfumers I created fragrances for myself. And when the Yana brand appeared, fragrance pendants appeared by themselves, into which you could pour your favorite perfume. I started looking for small perfume manufactories, I started working with perfumers. As a result of our work, not one fragrance appeared, as planned, but seven. And none of them could be refused. Two more new fragrances are on the way. I like to mix fragrances, I always wear at least three. It's like a game and it's so cool. They say that mixing fragrances is difficult, that you need to know a lot about perfumery for this. But I made it more cunning: in each Yana fragrance there are one or two components that are similar to each other, when mixed, they only complement each other.
How do you take care of your skin in winter?
There is nothing special about my winter care. I just use thicker and nutritional resources. And that's just for the night.
Last product/brand that impressed you?
Japanese brand Fancl. Their products are of incredible quality, I love the whole line, but especially the shampoos and conditioners. This is something amazing. They do not contain fragrances, parabens and sulfates. But it contains a lot of amino acids, which even the most Thin hair saturates like oils.
Good care advice?
Always, at any time of the year, at any time of the day, use lip balm. And do not be afraid of tonal means. About the fact that they spoil the skin - a myth. All foundations of the latest generation are about protection: from cold and dry air, from dust and exhaust gases, from the sun.
