ELLE Eslovenia recently did an interview with Michaela Kocianova about fashion and how she handle with this. It was recently posted at tFS via Teja(and also traslated by her)

How did you start modeling?
I left Slovakia at the age of 15 in hope of starting a career in Paris, Milan or NY. My departure was very painful, my mother was crying and I was scared but determined to make it.

You travel a lot, many times probably alone. What are pros and cons of those travels?
I see lots of new places which i probably wouldn't as non-model, I meet new people and I think I learn everyday something new. The biggest con are the airports. My luggage is often too heavy because i bring with myself lots of clothes and makeup. That's why I have problems with employees sometimes because they are not so nice.
What do your friends and other people in Slovakia think about you - that you're a star or just a normal girl?
Lately I'm often in magazines and newspapers. When I'm at home (Slovakia) they find (journalists) me and write about me (for example: what does my day look like). My mom is sometimes really angry, she says they don't leave me alone even when I'm on vacation but it doesn't bother me. I see my old friends, my family,... I really miss them. And I also have school in Slovakia...
Is there any time left for studying?
Not so much but I'm trying. The problem is I rather spend my time to go on a coffee with my friends than with my books.
Which city or which fashion week is your favorite?
NY although I was freezing on the last one...It was terrible! After NY FW is Milan where everybody is nice and the food there is excellent.
Did you want to become a model as a child?
I never really dreamed about this business, everything came really naturally. In one moment it became very clear to me I can become a model and I knew I wouldn't have a real career in my home country. The price for fame and success is high but overall I know it was worth it.
