The biography of this young man is full of exciting and interesting facts. This man is one of the most sought-after models in the world. Let's see why he attracted designers and photographers.
Childhood and teens
On a frosty winter day on January 31, 1983, in the Moscow district of Chertanovo, a fifth child was born in an ordinary family - a boy Danila Polyakov. The biography of his father is associated with a bohemian lifestyle - he is an artist. The mother of the boy is a kindergarten teacher. From childhood, Danila loved to attract attention, which he did with enviable regularity. Teachers and classmates still remember how the boy put on a skirt over school trousers. The collapse of the Soviet Union, the collapse and confusion turned people into an ordinary gray mass, from which sometimes someone tried to stand out. For example, Danila Polyakov did it successfully. The biography of a young man from his youth holds in himself the memory of his dance "career". At the age of 15, he began performing in nightclubs, working in the "go-go" show. When he was 16, the young man was invited to the popular at that time group “Demo” for a dance. Since school, he is friends with Masha Zheleznyakova, who is a classmate of his sister at the school to them. Plekhanov. By the way, she lived next door to the Polyakov family.
Danila treated his performances in the club as a show. With the light hand of Masha, dresses and heels appeared in the young man’s wardrobe. She revealed a secret to him: if Danila put on makeup, he turns into a very pretty “girl”. From that moment on, a dream arose within the young man of becoming a "asexual" model. Indeed, as he himself says, there was nothing to show him except the body.
First steps to a dream
In the process of working with Dj Grove in the Maxidans project, Danila was invited to participate in the Smirnoff International Design Award show. The next step was cooperation with Galina Smirn. And Russia has learned a new name in fashion business - Danila Polyakov. The biography of the shocking young man was replenished with works in shows, and not always in men. The first productive collaboration was working with the famous designer Denis Simachev. It was thanks to this talented man that the young man received a tremendous opportunity to shine on the best catwalks, first in Russia and the CIS, and then in Europe.

There, a white-skinned red-haired handsome man was noticed by David Bradshoy, a Prada stylist (currently the creative director of the English magazine GQ). He invited Danila to star in his photo shoot in a female image. The London audience enthusiastically appreciated the non-standard appearance, subtle facial features and the ability to present oneself.
