Hairstyle like Katya Gershuni's. Katya Gershuni showed an apartment with a unique interior. Autobiographical story of Gershuni

Many people know the stylist Katya Gershuni - her biography is very interesting, like anyone’s creative person. IN Lately she gained popularity and sympathy among Channel One viewers with her participation in the “10 years younger” megashow. There she acts as an experienced stylist, which, in fact, she is.

Her character is very positive and frank; she has an unconventional view of life in general, and her work in particular. As you know, in this TV project, women of middle age and seemingly unattractive appearance are turned into charming beauties with impeccable style.

As a child, Katya loved to sew fashionable and beautiful clothes, helped her mother choose clothes, and in her youth she already came up with original and unusual images for her friends, who were very grateful to her.

She got married early, and at the age of 21 she already had a son. It was not love at first sight, but after talking with her future husband Roman for some time, they fell in love with each other. Now in search engines On the Internet, queries “Katya Gershuni age” and also “Katya Gershuni nationality” often appear. Well, you can do the math for yourself - she has been married for 11 years, and when she got married, she was about twenty.

And, of course, about nationality. Katya was born in sunny Tashkent into a rather large interethnic family. What nationality is on her passport? Alas, the sources are silent about this.

Initially, Katya studied to become a foreign language teacher, but then she decided to plunge into the field of fashion and beauty and trained as a stylist. First in Russia, and then in England, from where she brought her inspiration, originality and super ideas.

Nine years ago, Katya and her husband Roman bought their first home - an apartment of 90 square meters. meters in Mytishchi near Moscow. “I was in panic,” recalls Gershuni. – Before that, we lived in a rented one-room apartment on Arbat. Due to traffic jams we had to take the train. At that time, everything in my apartment resembled a madhouse. The bedroom has a red bed, orange walls, a purple bedspread, a vibrant scarlet chandelier...”

Katya's views changed when she became a stylist. “I am outwardly an explosive hooligan... Looking at me, people think that I live in a loft-style apartment, but in my home country style- French Provence.

Gershuni began her renovation in the living room. For the walls, she chose coffee, pink and beige tones. An artificial fireplace became the center of the room. “We bought wallpaper, paint, and building materials at the market or in special markets. We purchased the sofa and armchairs at IKEA, then sent them to the workshop, where they were upholstered with washable fabric. I found a chandelier called “Forks and Spoons” at Auchan for pennies. There are things that I buy at flea markets. They are unique and fit perfectly into the interior. For example, a glass water jug. But my husband and I’s weakness is watches. There are 11 of them in the living room alone. But our friends know what to give us. We always welcome guests. We do not have a separate guest room, but we do have an air mattress. There’s enough room for everyone!”

The home of the star of the TV show about transformation looks truly cozy. The space is designed in such a way that all family members have an area for relaxation, games, reading and other activities. The spacious living room, smoothly flowing into the kitchen, impresses with the selected decorative items. According to Katya, it is the details that create the impression of a particular space, and therefore everything in the star’s apartment is thought out to the smallest detail.

If the living room, kitchen, hallway and bathroom of Gershuni can be called bright, then in the case of the bedroom everything is done a little differently. In the room where the TV presenter relaxes and recovers, everything - from the furniture to the color of the walls - is done in calmer colors.

The fashion expert of the show “Ten Years Younger” on Channel One will begin new life. According to Katya herself, she and her husband have become strangers to each other, and therefore separation is inevitable.

Recently, Ekaterina and her husband, restaurateur and psychoanalyst Roman Gershuni, moved out of their shared apartment in the Moscow region. We rented two in neighboring houses near the center of the capital. It turned out that the reason for the change of residence was divorce. At a certain point, the couple realized that nothing connected them anymore, and therefore both should think about life without each other.

“I was the initiator,” the TV presenter shared with StarHit. – We lived together for 12 years, during these years we both changed a lot. Roma and I no longer have the same tastes and views. We no longer go to those places that we both used to like, we no longer watch movies that we loved. The mutual acquaintances we met on weekends faded into the background. Everyone had their own social circle, things to do, and so on... The only thing left in common was our son and housing. For now, we live nearby so that David can more easily cope with his parents’ divorce. He can go to dad at any time. We haven’t submitted an application to the registry office yet, we decided to give each other time. Although it is unlikely that anything will change. My husband and I remained on excellent terms. He still helps me, for example, with car repairs or moving.”

Katya and Roma became strangers to each other

They met at the celebration of Israel's Independence Day at Luzhniki, then Katya was 17 years old and Roman was 27. Sympathy arose between the young people, and later they realized that they simply could not live without each other.

“I came there to perform folk dances, recalls Gershuni. – Roma is an Israeli citizen, then he worked in Russia under a contract. I didn’t immediately realize that he was my only one, I didn’t expect to meet my fate so early, but it turned out that way. We had everything according to the rules - he asked my father for my hand in marriage, I met his parents. Roma made an unusual proposal: he said that he went to buy bread and returned with a ring.”

Now, recalling the story of meeting her husband, the expert of the “10 Years Younger” program does not hide his smile, but still realizes that this relationship has come to an end. “We got married two years after we met, and at 21 I became a mother,” continues Katya. - Our only son David was born, who is now nine years old. To be honest, it seems to me that Roma and I still love each other, but we can’t live together anymore.”

Born in warm Uzbekistan, our heroine studied in London and lives in Moscow. This does not stop her from being a patriot of Israel, the mother of 10-year-old David and a successful stylist. She is the star of the show “10 Years Younger” on Channel One and is launching a school where women can learn all sorts of tricks that will make their lives brighter and more comfortable.

— Katya, you were born in Tashkent. People who come from sunny regions always carry within them some special brightness and warmth. What are your first memories from your Tashkent childhood?

— A yard, mulberries, apricots, almonds, a lot of cats, I remember being in the yard all the time, a lot of sun and warmth. A hose from which water flows. Grandmothers, grandfathers, a Stalinist house, a tram stop, which is visible from the windows. Warm happy childhood. I was ten years old when my parents moved to Moscow, and since then I have been constantly haunted by the feeling that “winter is coming.” Almost like in the world of Game of Thrones.

— Was it difficult to adapt to new conditions?

“I still haven’t adapted!” I don't feel very comfortable in Moscow.

-Where is it cozy? Do you often visit Israel?

— Yes, I am a patriot of this country. She survived the last military operations there with her son.

— Where do you feel at home in Israel?

— Jerusalem for me is the place where I cry, think and speak at the Western Wall. You ask G-d and thereby dive inside yourself, restore your strength, ask yourself about something important. Well, that is, from G-d, but somewhere inside myself, probably. Tel Aviv is a completely different story, where I feel completely relaxed. Perhaps this is mine favorite place!

— You are professionally involved in beauty. How did you realize your calling?

I was four years old. Mom had a coat that really didn’t suit her, and somehow this was clear to me on a physiological level. I understood that if I cut it off, everything would be fine, but I couldn’t express it. After some time, my mother sold this coat, as was customary in those years in the USSR in conditions of shortage. She sold it to a woman who cut it. And then, on some internal level, I realized that I was onto something in this matter.

And then my grandfather, who was an Aeroflot pilot, brought an Otto catalog from Germany. I could barely lift this 1000-page heavy tome. It was some kind of special issue entirely dedicated to children. He “traumatized” me to the core. In principle, we can say that I practically knew him by heart. By that time, I had drawn a huge number of notebooks with princesses and princes. I was a rather lonely child; my brother was born when I was already 12 years old. And I was largely left to my own devices.

Then the 90s came, and my dad brought me my first Barbie, which I dressed up in every possible way. Since childhood, I have been very interested in color. I always imagined some color combinations. My mother could have thrown a tantrum over the fact that I wouldn’t go to kindergarten in red tights, but would only go in white ones. I fell asleep, and before my eyes there were some colors, how they combined.

This was the era of Claudia Schiffer and Karl Lagerfeld, a special era in the history of the Chanel brand. But somehow I was never eager to sew; I wanted to use, apply, combine all this beauty. I just didn’t really understand then that it was called a stylist.

—Have you ever experienced any problems related to your Jewish identification?

In Tashkent this didn’t bother me at all, but when we moved to Russia and I went to secondary school, then I encountered this to the fullest. I was never ashamed of my roots, and for some reason I was even proud of them. Well, I got it literally on the nose with all this “go to your Israel”, etc. But dad came to school a couple of times, talked to the right people, and that was the end of it!

- Ok, well, how did the childhood realization that you understand something about how to dress yourself and others turn into a profession?

I was studying ballroom dancing, this is an opportunity for a girl to look beautiful and come up with something. Your imagination must work very rapidly in order to look different from everyone else. I have a B grade in the Latin American program and an A in the classics. This is equivalent to a candidate for master of sports. At the same time, I studied languages ​​and went to study at the Faculty of Indo-European Languages ​​at the Pedagogical Institute. I graduated and gave birth to a child while I was studying. At some stage I felt that I was missing something. When I realized what exactly I wanted, I googled it, found the Faculty of Imageology at the Institute of Culture and Arts and went to get a second profession. I worked in a chain of beauty salons, started acting on television, and at some stage I again realized that I was missing something. I realized that I needed a view “from there,” from the world where fashion comes to Russia.

—Where does fashion come from now? Where is it born in the mid-10s of the 21st century?

She is being born now, in my opinion, somewhere in the north - in Sweden, Belgium.

— So the Paris-Milan-New York-Tokyo stereotype is no longer relevant now?

Well, to some extent it is still relevant, of course, but completely new independent centers have appeared on the fashion map, which are changing it a lot. It’s like confessions: everyone seems to believe in one G-d, but they represent him in very different ways.

— And what is your fashionable denomination?

I am very different: I can be in the mood for Italian “porn chic” or Belgian minimalism. I limit myself to practically nothing.

— And yet, what does a perfectly dressed person look like, in your opinion?

I cannot limit myself or anyone else. There are just some things that, in my opinion, should not exist: over-the-knee boots or super minis. Or shiny tights. These things need to be “reimagined” in women's fashion.

- IN Jewish tradition joy for a woman is specifically verbalized in a new dress or jewelry. At the same time, halakha, Jewish law, imposes very strict restrictions on how a woman should look, associated with tzniut, ideas of modesty. Can modern fashion be modest, kosher?

Yes, sure! The hardest thing for me about this is finding the right solution regarding the hair. And I am definitely for a beautiful scarf, not a wig. Well, then, if there are the right colors and they go well together, a woman does not necessarily need a deep neckline or an open back. You can look stylish without it.

A buttoned-up shirt and layering are super on-trend. Without trousers, a woman also doesn’t lose much, by and large, although no one has canceled the convenience of jeans.

— There is a stereotype that a “Russian” woman, when going out to buy bread, puts on high-heeled shoes and puts on full makeup. In the West this is not at all the case. Where is the golden mean?

There is such a thing as a “basic wardrobe” - T-shirts, shirts, sweaters, skirts, dresses, scarves, basic jewelry. Having such a set helps a lot in a matter of seconds to get your bearings based on your plans for the day or temperature regime. Heels that are waiting for you in the car while you do a bunch of things, wearing comfortable sneakers, can solve a lot of problems!

— Do you have any secrets about how to plan your day in order to get everything done?

The most important thing is a detailed schedule. We need to sit down, think, plan. Determine priorities. Everything is quite simple in this sense. Now my mother takes care of my time management. At first this confused me a little, but then I realized that I couldn’t find a better director. She has a vested interest in my success, she doesn't need to be motivated!

— I watched your program while preparing for the interview. I came across an issue where you dressed a woman well over 40 as a girl of about 25 at most. Am I correct in understanding that modern fashion insists that a woman in her 40s continue to try to look as if she is still 25?

A woman who had a career and children while she was 30 or 40 wants to be liked even at 50. She doesn’t owe anyone anything and, in my opinion, can choose exactly how she looks herself. She wants love, she has already achieved everything, the children have grown up, she may now have the opportunity to live for herself for the first time.

When a woman chooses what to wear today, she should be much more guided by her plans and the appropriateness of her outfit, and not by her age. If she's having negotiations, she can look business-chic. If there is a meeting with the groom's parents, she must choose pastel shades in clothes, refuse high heels and too bright makeup - this is what is called the Jacqueline Kennedy style, “lady-like”. Well, when accompanying your husband to a corporate event, you should give preference to a beautiful cocktail dress. And if she doesn’t owe anyone anything, then let her choose exactly how to look!

— Let's talk a little about the men's wardrobe.

I love bright colors on men, but it is often better to give preference to the very basic ones - blue, gray, black, white. I like the grunge style. I like men who wear glasses. If a man understands at least a little how to properly shape his contours, then he is already fine.

— Is there one book that particularly influenced you?

Well, “Shantaram”, perhaps. There is something deep and real about her. We have too much fake, plastic stuff around. I can’t say that I always hate this, the fashion and style industry is largely based on this, but inside I am normal, alive. Sometimes I want to go inside myself from all this tinsel and think not only about the combination of colors.

- This year amazingly solar and moon calendar, therefore, the days of Hanukkah coincide with the holidays and the New Year. Where and how will you celebrate?

I hope I don't have to work these days, I haven't looked at my work schedule yet. Most likely, we will go to visit friends.

— What projects are you most actively involved in right now?

We continue to film a show on Channel One, I’m starting a project on the “Your Home” channel related to interior design. I am very interested in this direction; no one has ever had anything to do with the interiors of the houses where I lived. I did everything myself. And we are also opening a school where women can get ideas on how to fully build their image. There you can learn all sorts of tricks, life hacks that can make life not only beautiful, but also convenient. I really like the idea of ​​the school, because my first profession is a teacher.

— When did you have the most intense feeling of happiness?

The day I got married and the day I gave birth to my son were very bright for me. But happiness is something that seems to be constantly with you, and on the other hand, I am sure that real happiness is somewhere ahead in the future. In general, sitting in one of the basic asanas on the beach in Tel Aviv, feeling the wind and the smells of the sea on your skin, is also happiness. So for me, heaven on earth is on the Tel Aviv beach!

Katya Gershuni's profession is to transform people, and she copes with this masterfully. ABOUT own style, the fight against complexes, bold experiments and the talents of his son, fashion expert of the Channel One project “ Ten years younger" she said in an interview.

— Katya, what should be in every girl’s wardrobe this spring-summer season?

- Trench coat, cropped jeans or trousers, pleated skirt, hoodie, T-shirt with some slogan, oversized top or blouse with flounce, shoes - mules, open-toed shoes, and always high-quality, stylish sunglasses.

— Is it possible for short girls to wear cropped trousers?

- Certainly! Height doesn't matter - what matters is how graceful your ankles are. If this is a problem area, then it is better to choose longer trousers.

— What clothes, in your opinion, make you look younger?

- Firstly, things in light or bright colors. Especially in natural fabrics - silk, satin, cashmere with silk, they reflect light and add freshness to the overall look. Dark clothing, on the contrary, adds age. Secondly, don’t be afraid to experiment - sneakers, sneakers, slip-ons are not only fashionable, but also very comfortable.

— Katya, what time does your day start?

— I wake up without an alarm clock, sometimes even earlier than necessary. My ten-year-old son David is a completely independent guy, he can do everything himself: have breakfast, get ready for school. But I always see him off. Plus, it’s so nice to have breakfast together!

— What do you prefer for breakfast?

— Cottage cheese with berries or avocado and a piece of red fish. And black coffee.

— Apparently, you are a supporter proper nutrition?

— At some point I just forced myself to switch to healthy image life. Due to the specific nature of my work, I often communicate with nutritionists and try to follow their recommendations. For example, using large quantity water and green tea, taking vitamins, avoiding foods containing gluten and casein are really very effective! When I stopped drinking milk, which, by the way, is not very healthy for an adult body, it immediately affected my skin - it became smoother.

— How do you explain to your son what foods are healthy? After all, all children love sweets, pizza and pasta with sausages...

— Due to my busy schedule, my nanny cooks for my son, but, of course, I watch what he eats. You are right: children love tasty and unhealthy things, and David is no exception. For example, this morning I found two empty candy boxes. My son ate the candy on the sly and put the boxes back... In the evening we have a serious conversation ahead of us!

- The most severe punishment for David is...

- When mom swears. It’s better not to bring me to this state. In addition, I can deprive him of his iPad or phone for a while. But I definitely reward him for good deeds - I take David with me on interesting trips.

— Do you scold your son for bad grades?

- No, he’s a smart boy. I always instilled in David: in order to achieve something in life, you need to study. For example, it is difficult for him foreign languages, despite the fact that my first education is a teacher of English and German, and his dad is fluent in several languages. We had the opportunity to send our son abroad for a while. We settled on London - I was sure that David would like it, since I myself once studied there. The result exceeded all our expectations: our son returned full of impressions and began to intensively cram English. I was happy!

— What else is David interested in?

— He plays the piano and composes his own music. So, perhaps we have a growing composer (smiles).

— Katya, almost a year ago you and your husband separated. Are you ready for a new relationship?

I'm getting acquainted I go on dates and I get a thrill from it.

— You give the impression of a very cheerful person. What can ruin your mood?

— Perhaps, just the number on the scales (smiles). My profession obliges me to look good. It’s no secret that the screen adds kilograms, so often when people see me “live” they are surprised: “Oh, it turns out you’re so thin!” Honestly, I don’t know how to react to this: be happy that I’m slim, or be sad that I look bigger in the frame? (Laughs.) As a child, I was very thin and did ballroom dancing. But in adolescence suddenly I started to get better, and it became a problem - for me, for my partner, for the coaches. Since then I have been forced to control my weight.

— How much time do you usually spend in front of the mirror?

— It all depends on your plans for the day. For example, today I didn’t linger in front of the mirror for a minute, because I was on my way to your shoot and knew that my favorite makeup artist Olga Veraksich would do everything in perfection. at its best! And when Olga, unfortunately, is not around, and there are important meetings ahead, it takes me about an hour to do makeup.

— Do you use luxury cosmetics or do you also have budget products in your arsenal?

— Almost all the cosmetics I have were donated by my makeup artist (smiles). But in fact, the price doesn’t matter to me at all, the main thing is that these products work!

— What things do you think are worth spending money on, and what should you buy in the mass market?

— In the mass market you can buy everything except shoes and bags - it’s better to buy them in good specialized stores. Beautiful and high-quality accessories are also an investment. When it comes to clothing, the basic wardrobe should be well thought out. Invest in something you use regularly. Shoes you wear six times a week should cost more than shoes you wear once a month for a special occasion.

— Katya, you encourage your students in the “Ten Years Younger” project to experiment. Can you remember your most daring experiment?

- Oh, there are so many of them! When I became blonde, it was bold. When I put on a turban and zouaves (oriental trousers), that was also bold. I remember the periods of pink and red totalluks. In general, just go to my Instagram to understand how I feel about experiments (smiles).

— During the existence of the project, you managed to transform more than one hundred women. Which of the heroines do you particularly remember?

— Ksenia Strizh. It was great working with her! Ksyusha dressed beautifully even without me, she never had problems with style. What is most important for a woman? Youth of the soul. A happy woman is a woman who is confident in herself, her beauty, her health, and lives in harmony with herself and the world around her!
