Russian model Sasha Pivovarova has been putting her stamp on the fashion world ever since her debut, and she's not letting up in 2009 either. She stars in John Galliano's new Dior campaign and has appeared in ads for Armani, Chanel Eyewear and Biotherm to name a few. Interview managed to catch up with the busy model and here are some excerpt from the interview between herself and Colleen Nika:

CN: Did you have a New Year's resolution?
SP: I was on board 168 airline flights in 2008! My New Years resolution this year is to spend more time with my family.

CN: You had your first gallery exhibit in 2008. And you are making a book for Prada.
SP: I am working on a book of drawings: it will be in the form of a scrapbook and include drawings, photography, and collages. It's an endless process because I am constantly changing and adding new images/ I really hope to publish it in upcoming year—this was my other New Year's resolution!

CN: You have such a signature feline runway presence, and were one of the first models I remember to capture the militant but alluring "death stare" that so many others others now emulate. Did it come naturally to you?
SP: I just walk how I walk. But I am also really inspired by the physical drama in silent films from the beginning of the 20th century—it's ice cold and unreachable, like the stare of a sniper! I guess this look is something new that I brought into the world of fashion: a dark and dramatic, 19th century Russian literature and drama inspired look. But in a real life I am very positive and smile most of the time [smiles].
