A New Chapter Begins: Interview with Victoria Paramonova

Grace, confidence, and inner strength — qualities that are increasingly associated with a new generation of models. Among them is Victoria Paramonova, whose name is being heard more and more often in the industry. Winning a beauty pageant became not only recognition for her, but also the starting point of a new chapter in her life. Today, she is preparing to reveal another side of her talent — music — returning to a dream that has been with her since childhood.

Victoria, people in the fashion industry are talking about you more and more. How did your journey begin?

My journey started with a dream and a genuine interest in the world of fashion. Like many girls, it all began with a desire to express myself through beauty, style, and image. Over time, it grew from a hobby into an essential part of my life.

You recently won a beauty pageant. What did you feel at the moment of the award?

It was a very emotional moment. I felt gratitude — toward the people who believed in me, and toward myself for having the courage to move forward. That victory became a symbol of a new chapter for me.

What does it mean to be a model today?

For me, it’s much more than just photos or runway shows. It’s an opportunity to express mood, emotions, and to inspire people through visual storytelling.

You’re now opening a new path for yourself — music. How did you come to that decision?

In everyday life, we sometimes forget about the things we dreamed of as children. But at some point, I realized that music had always been a part of me. And I understood: maybe it’s time to bring that dream back into my life.

Have you already started working on your music career?

Yes, I’m currently building a production team and looking for people who share my vision. It’s important for me that this becomes not just a project, but a true creative space.

What will your music be about?

About feelings, inner strength, dreams, and the courage to be yourself. I want my songs to inspire people not to be afraid to pursue what truly matters to them.

What is the most important lesson you’ve learned along the way?

Don’t put your dreams on hold. Life doesn’t always go according to plan, but it’s important at some point to pause and ask yourself: what truly makes me happy?

What would you like to say to people who are still searching for their path?

Listen to yourself. Even if it feels like it’s too late or that life has taken a different turn, it’s never too late to start a new chapter.

“Sometimes our biggest dream stays somewhere in our childhood. But if you find the courage to return to it one day, it can become the beginning of an entirely new story.”
