Childhood

Katya Zharkova was born on October 30, 1981 in a small town called Machulishchi, located near the capital of Belarus - the city of Minsk. The girl's mother was professionally engaged in photography, and Papa was a military man. Military service assumes constant moving from one place to another. The family traveled all over Russia, having lived even in Chukotka. Together with the military, I visited Germany, and then - in Smolensk. It was in this city that fourteen-year-old Katya first found herself in a modeling agency. By nature, a large girl for a while tried to fit herself to the general standards, until she realized that she had better tackle the career model of the "plus" size.

The main thing - self-confidence

Believe in themselves, in their beauty, uniqueness and in their power the girl helped my mother. From the very early age, Katya was inspired that she is the most beautiful, most charming and attractive. Mom taught her daughter to smile and constantly took pictures. Soon the girl began to like, how she turns out in the pictures. Gradually, a dream began to emerge - to become a model.

In the Smolensk Model Agency, an extraordinary girl was immediately noticed by the editors of one of the Moscow magazines and invited her to Moscow. Ekaterina Zharkova was not taken aback. Being confident in her abilities and external data, she leaves her family with the permission of her parents and moves to the Russian capital.

Life in the capital

Soon Ekaterina Zharkova began her studies at the Moscow University of Culture, while continuing to attend various castings and tests. On one of them she had a unique opportunity to get acquainted with the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Lena Vasilyeva. She suggested that the girl withdraw for her magazine.

Then the young model got on television: took part in the filming of television programs and received several episodic roles in domestic serials. Despite completely non-model parameters, Katya managed to attract the attention of model business not only at home, but also abroad.

Career Model

In 2010, Zharkov left for America and signed with Wilhelmina agency a long-term working contract. But fame came not at once. For the first time, the girl was talked about only in 2011, when Ekaterina Zharkova, the height, whose weight she was referred to as a "lush" representative of the model business, appeared nude in a photo shoot with a model who wore clothes of the 40th size. In early 2012, her rather candid photos flaunted in the well-known western fashion magazine Plus model magazine. In the pictures, Katya appeared as she is - without "Photoshop", which is usually used by editors to adjust the figure. The theme of this photo session was the imposition of stereotypes of female beauty and figure. As suggested by the Plus model magazine, photos on which the plus model combined with the traditional model 90-60-90 produced a tremendous, explosive effect in the fashion world.

Now the magnificent forms of Russian beauty are admired by many designers and photographers. It is waiting with impatience and open arms the best masters of photography of Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Miami.

Irina Zharkova was also photographed in a photo session that promotes the fight against the disease of the 21st century - anorexia. The author of the pictures was Victoria Janashvili. In the pictures the magnificent Russian beauty poses together with a thin, frail and seemingly very painful model, which, in addition to pity, does not cause any feelings. Against her background, Katya simply radiates beauty, bursts with health and rivets multimillion-dollar views.
