Today we meet Irina Kotova, a gorgeous woman of 24 years old who with great honor we will have with us in the next edition as a representative of her Nation, we present to you Miss Moldova 2025!
Let us get involved in her determination, ambition and creativity!
-We know that you love dance and the stage, and that in fact you are a choreographer and dancer. Can you tell us more about this work and passion of yours? What do you love most about this job?
I have been dancing since early childhood and cannot imagine myself without it. I am used to being active, to work out, and, last but least, to be disciplined. This is all due to dancing. It has instilled in me qualities of significant importance – hence my everyday courage, kindness, creativity and optimism. Now, not only do I advance my skills daily, I lead training activities for everyone passionate about dancing; I find it very exciting for me – to inspire and share all spectrum of emotions through one of the oldest arts.
-You told us that you are also a mother of a beautiful child, is there a routine you follow to manage your work and personal life?
Yes, that’s right. My son’s name is Maxim, he is 2 years old, and due to maternity leave I’ve discovered new energy within my soul. It neither affected my career nor the creative projects I’m actively participating in. Of course, I have elaborated a specific schedule in order to be the best caring, loving and protecting mother that spends as much time with her son  as possible. Also, my relatives helped me find the perfect work/life balance, and I can’t stress enough how grateful I am. Furthermore, currently I’m seeking more room for future career development.
– What do you think is the distinctive trait of yourself that comes out in every activity you do?
My distinctive trait is my determination. I know exactly how to achieve my goals and what needs to be done for that. I am very proactive, ambitious and stubborn. In a positive way, of course.
– How did you start your modeling career? Is there a particular model that you follow and who is your inspiration?
I was noticed by other people, agencies, and I’ve been offered various collaborations. Naturally, my career as a dancer combined with my Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Acting gave me a solid theoretical and practical foundation. I easily interact and collaborate with art directors, photographers, and other domain-related people. Moreover, my primary modeling training was in Saint Petersburg, where I was a top student at a renowned modeling school.
– We have seen many of your wonderful modeling shots. What do you feel when you are in front of the photo camera?
I think that I’m in the right place and time. I skillfully adapt to different roles, where necessary, I act, express the right emotions, and know the required poses and angles. This makes the work go quickly and smoothly, and I get invited again and again. Directors, photographers and I always quickly find a ground.
– How do you feel about being here at Miss Europe Continental 2025 and what do you hope to learn from this unique experience?
I believe this will be a wonderful experience for me. This is about my story, my path as a mother, as a dancer, as an actress, and the possibility to overcome anything. I’m very grateful for the life I’m living, for the strength and motivation, and I’m sure this contest will help spread my wings and learn. Per aspera ad astra!
– What advice do you feel you can give to Women?
My advice to women: no matter what, live your best life. Don’t give up on your desires or dreams under any circumstances. Marriage, children, moving from country to country, all difficulties you may encounter — nothing should make you abandon your true desires. There’s only 1 chance to be happy, to evolve spiritually, to love and to be loved.
– What are your goals and dreams for your future?
I have picked several areas where I can fully grow as a professional (all mentioned above) and where I’d contribute daily to reach the ultimate goal: to achieve inner peace, harmony and absolute happiness.
– Let’s leave a message to your readers.
I’m deeply honored to participate in this contest. First of all, thank you, Italy, for having me. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for welcoming me with such kindness and warmth. Heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Italian people for their hospitable spirit and for making me feel at home; cannot wait to mention the cuisine, an absolute masterpiece! Every moment spent here is a gift. I will carry these precious memories with me for a lifetime and I hope to return at least part of all the affection and kindness I have received in the near future. Grazie!
Well Irina, all we have left to say is… see you soon in Naples!
