Interview with Katya Fedina
looking for the trivial beauty of everyday life.
About Katya Fedina
She has various jobs as an actress, model, and graphic designer. At 25, she is still searching for herself and finds joy in the present moment and the little things around her.
Q - 1.Tell me about yourself
L - I have loved movies ever since I was a child. I spent so much time watching movies that I sometimes missed school to go to the theater. I never thought I would be a part of the world of movies, but as a 19-year-old actress, I got the opportunity to appear in my first movie. It was a really special and unexpected opportunity. The good reason for acting is that I can experience the impossible as someone other than myself, and experience the process and discover amazing possibilities for myself.
Q - 2.Why did you move to Paris
L - As a teenager, I was immersed in Jean-Luc Godard's movies. I started to love Paris since then. I started learning French, listened to French music and enjoyed watching French movies. I decided to move to Paris with my boyfriend, leaving my hometown Russia in 2022. Two years later, beautiful people in Paris, coincidences and fun things still surprise me.
Q - 3.Best part of Paris
L - Belleville is literally the best place in the world to me. I live in this area right now, and Belleville Park next door to my house is one of the most beautiful parks in Paris. Art studios, you can enjoy the simple and quiet streets lined with restaurants from all over the world, and visiting Asian grocery stores in particular is one of the joys of everyday life! I often bring dumplings, ramen, and kimchi from there.
Q - 4.Your funny belongings
L - Postcards bought at the flea market, my Fortrait photos, a booklet I got from the cinema when I first came to Paris when I was 17, and a pearl bracelet my grandmother gave me. All my own fun belongings with precious memories.
Q - 5.Recommend us small movie theatre in Paris
L - Paris has many small but special movie theaters, such as La Filmothèque, Reflet Médicis, Le Champo, and the Écoles Cinéma Club. It is often possible to see works from old classical films or film festivals. They usually visit these places and enjoy watching old independent films.

Q - 6.Styling tip
L - I put comfort first. I like to wear vintage and I like to match unexpected items like cute print tights and military jackets.
Q - 7.Favorite vintage place
L - They mainly enjoy online vintage shopping, such as Vinted. Vintage is interesting in finding hidden gems at reasonable prices. Offline stores draw a lot of inspiration from vintage stores that feature owner archiving, such as Turn Paris and Paris.
Q - 8.Your great item
L - I enjoy accessories. My favorite item is earrings. Sometimes a small accessory seems to express my feelings better than clothes. These days, I like to wear Marland Backus' bow earrings, but their elegant yet cute design goes well with any look.
Q - 9.Best place of Paris
L - Although Le musée Bourdelle is not a well-known place, it is one of my favorite places in Paris. It is calm but I can feel the power of the statues, and it is more than a museum for me. I often take a break reading books or looking at people there.
The most impressive part of this museum is that you can see the studio of an actual artist where Burdel stayed and worked. It is difficult to express all the emotions I feel here, but I am sure it is a place that inspires me.
Q - 10.Which product do you recommend in the great edition collection
L - White long skirt to choose just one. I liked it because it was very light and soft when I put it on. The puffy silhouette and shirring details are cute and feminine, so I think it will be an item that you can use a lot from spring to summer.
