Prefinjena i elegantna Daniela Bujor, manekenka moldavskog porekla koja godinama živi i radi u Londonu, gde trenutno školuje za “luxury brand” menadžera, i van posla ima mnogo aktivnosti. Zaljubljenica u umetnost, to joj se dopada i u jahanju konja, sport koji aktivno trenira, te bi jednog dana volela da se oproba u dresuri – da jaše na izložbama i takmičenjima, isključivo radi majstorstva.
Zahvaljujući svom dečku, profesionalnom polo igraču, zaljubljena je i u polo, gde dokazuje da ovaj tradicionalno muški sport nije rezervisan isključivo za “jači pol”. Daniela je zvezda nove Harper’s BAZAAR digitalne naslovnice, a u njenom modnom editorijalu potražite inspiraciju za komade koji će biti u trendu naredne sezone: od disko resa preko dramatičnih volumena karnera do animal printa i minimala.

Opištite nam svoje modeling iskustvo – sa kojim brendovima ste sarađivali u prošlosti i da li ste ikada radili kao manekenka na pisti?
– Uglavnom sam radila reklamne kampanje za brendove. Veoma mi je zabavno na projektima tog tipa, posebno jer upoznajem mnogo zanimljivih ljudi, a često radim na kampanjama koje od mene zahtevaju da se emotivno angažujem, da glumim. To sve je vrlo izazovno, nije klasično poziranje pred kamerama. Nažalost, još uvek nisam radila kao manekenka na pisti, ali planiram da ostvarim taj cilj vrlo brzo. Ponosna sam što u svom portfoliju imam brendove kao što su Coca Cola, Qatar Airlines, Dr. Oetker, Teilor Diamonds, Morrocan Oil, razne muzičke videe, reklame za muzičke festivale.
Šta vas inspiriše kao modela?
– Život je moja inspiracija. Mislim da sve što čovek kreira i što ga inspiriše, crpi iz svog života, sva moda i umetnost nastaju i dolaze iz emocija koje razmenjujemo, negujemo i gajimo prema drugim ljudima, iz osećanja ljubavi, mržnje, iskustava koja stičemo u životu, iz lepote prirode koja nas okružuje i čiji smo deo. Izvor inspiracije je neiscrpan.
Imate li omiljenog dizajnera i kako biste opisali svoj lični stil?
– To je Anthony Vacarello, a on je trenutno kreativni direktor kuće Saint Laurent, koja je moja omiljena luksuzna modna kuća. Svoj lični stil bih opisala kao classy i elegantan, a kao čist minimalizam tokom svakog dana. Trenutno eksperimentišem sa street styleom. Kako bi to Iris Apfel opisala: “Modu možete da kupite, a stil je nešto što posedujete. Ključno u vezi sa stilom je da naučite ko ste, a to je nešto za šta su potrebne godine”.

Da li vas i dalje aktivno zanima moda?
-Pretpostavljam da interesovanje za modu ne može nikada da nestane, to je jednostavno nemoguće. Možda svi imamo neki svoj lični stil i konstantno smo u potrazi za nečim novim, nečim što će u nama da izazove “wow” momenat, a mislim da to kod nas može jedino da postigne moda. Ona je ekspresija fantazije, želja, stava, hrabrosti. Sve dok postoji ljudski život na Zemlji, postojaće i moda i ljudi koje ona zanima, koji eksperimentišu sa njom. Moda nikad ne umire.
Gajite veliku ljubav prema konjima i strast prema jahanju. Kada se to pojavilo kod vas?
– To je, zapravo, jedna veoma slatka priča. Kada sam imala 19 godina, neverovatno mi se dopadalo da gledam ljude kako jašu. Fasciniralo me je koliko je to graciozan i prelep sport. Tada mi je rečeno da sam stara da bih počela da se bavim jahanjem profesionalno i da nikada neću postići da budem baš dobra u tome. Ne znam zašto, ali većina smatra da jahanjem treba da počnete da se bavite kao mali, isto kao i skijanjem. Da li iz inata, iz želje da demonstriram da nikada nije kasno da počnete da se bavite bilo čime, ako vam se nešto dopada i volite to, investirala sam svu svoju strast koju osećam prema jahanju i počela da se bavim ovim predivnim sportom. Moram da dodam da me je mnogo ohrabrio i dečko, koji je profesionalni igrač pola. Još od tada, jahanje volim svim svojim srcem.
Vežbate li jahanje svakog dana?
– Volela bih to, ali to često zavisi od sezone do sezone, vremena, lokacije na kojoj sam. Takođe, konji su vrlo osetljive, krhke životinje koje se, čak i ako to nikad ne biste rekli, mogu vrlo brzo da se umore i razbole, i zahtevaju mnogo svakodnevne brige kako biste mogli da ih jašete.

Recite nam nešto više o polu, da li vam je zabavan, šta vam se posebno dopada kod njega?
– Polo je takođe veoma interesantan sport, a tek pre deset godina su u njemu počele da se takmiče i žene. Lično mi je izazovan, posebno jer je uvek smatran muškim sportom jer zahteva mnogo snage. U suštini, polo je kombinacija između manevrisanja svog konja i fokusiranja svoje snage na to da udarite loptu. Slično golfu, ali sa konja.
Billie Eilish je rekla da su konji jedina stvar koja može da joj osigura mir. Da li je tako i sa vama?
– Billie Eillish je totalno u pravu. Konji su najbolja terapija koju možete sebi da priuštite ako volite životinje i prirodu. Oni vam donose mir, ali i uzbuđenje. Mislim da morate, ako želite da se povežete sa konjem, da napravite izvesnu distrakciju od spoljašnjeg sveta. Konji su veoma osetljive životinje. Ako brinete, ako ste uplašeni, pa čak i srećni ili uzbuđeni, oni će to osetiti i reagovati. I zato, kada jašete, na jedno dva – tri sata zaboravite na telefon, inače nećete moći ni da se nađete na leđima konja.

Završili ste Fakultet za marketing i menadžment, a nedavno ste se, iz tih oblasti, prijavili na master program u Londonu. I dalje se aktivno bavite modelingom, uz to i jašete. Kakvi su vaši ciljevi što se tiče karijere u narednih pet godina?
– Master program na koji idem je iz oblasti “luxury” menadžmenta i kad to završim, želim da radim u kolekcionarskoj, dekorativnoj umetnosti sa ekskluzivnim komadima i unikatnim komadima nakita. To je nešto što zaista želim da radim u narednih nekoliko godina.
Kako provodite slobodno vreme i šta najviše volite da radite u Londonu?
– London je užurban grad koji nikad ne spava. Internacionalan je, mesto spajanja ljudi iz celog sveta. Još lepše od toga mi je što ovde vidite istoriju i tradiciju na svakom koraku, divnu arhitekturu, fantastične restorane. Apsolutno obožavam popodnevni ritual ispijanja čaja. Ako niste probali to, a bili ste u Londonu, sve ste propustili.

Refined and elegant Daniela Bujor, a model of Moldovan origin who has lived and worked in London for three years, where she is currently studying to become a “luxury brand” manager, has many activities outside of work. A lover of art, she also enjoys riding horses, a sport she actively trains, and one day she would like to try her hand at dressage – to ride at exhibitions and competitions, solely for the sake of mastery.
Thanks to her boyfriend, a professional polo player, she is also in love with polo, where she proves that this traditionally male sport is not reserved exclusively for the “stronger sex”. Daniela is the star of the new Harper’s BAZAAR digital cover, and in her fashion editorial – look for inspiration for the pieces that will be in trend next season: from disco fringes to dramatic carner volumes to animal prints and minimal.

What experience do you have in modeling? Have you ever worked as a runway model? What brands have you worked with in the past?
– My experience in modeling is based mostly on advertising campaigns. I find a lot of fun working on projects like that, you get to meet lots of cool people and also working in an ad campaign requires more emotions and acting, not only static posing, so it’s more challenging. Unfortunately, I haven’t worked as a runway model yet, but I plan to acomplish this goal very soon. Proudly, in my portfolio I worked for big brands as Coca Cola, Qatar Airlines, Dr. Oetker, Teilor Diamonds, Morrocan Oil, did some music videos for singers, advertising for music festivals.
What inspires you as a model?
– Life is my inspiration. Everything we create and what inspires us we take from our life, all fashion and art comes from our emotion/sentiment towards each other, from the feelings of love, hate, experience in life, beauty of nature. So this is an endless source of inspiration.

Who is your favorite fashion designer and how would you describe your personal style?
– Anthony Vacarello is my favourite fashion designer, currently he is the creative director of Saint Laurent, which also happens to be my favourite luxury fashion house. I find my own style classy, elegant and prefer a clean and minimalistic look for everyday. At the moment I’m experimenting on mixing it up with more of street style. As Iris Apfel said: “Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years”.
Do you still have an active interest in fashion?
– I guess interest in fashion cannot ever disappear, it’s impossible. We may all have our style, but all human beings, including me, are looking continuously for something new, something that will make them say “Wow”, and the only thing that can provide it is fashion. It’s expressing fantasy, desires, attitude, courage. So as long as there’s life, there will be fashion and people who will long to experiment it. Fashion never dies!

How did your passion for horse riding appear and what did you do to develop it?
– It’s a very cute story! When I was 19 years old I loved to watch other people ride. It amazed me how gracious and beautiful it looks as a sport. Then, first I was told it’s too late to start horse riding at my age and that I’ll never be good at it. Somehow people consider it a sport you need to start very early as a child, like skiing. So in order to demonstrate it’s never too late to start anything, I invested all my passion in learning this beautiful sport. I also was encouraged by my boyfriend, who is a professional polo player. And as a result since then I love it with all my heart.
Do you practice riding every day?
– I wish I could ride every day! But it’s also a matter of season, weather, location. Horses are also very sensitive and fragile animals, even if you couldn’t say so, they get tired and sick easily and require a lot of care everyday in order to be able to ride them.
Tell us something more about polo, is it fun and why do you love it?
– Polo is actually very interesting and only since 10 years ago there are qualified competitions for women too. It’s challenging as it was always considered a sport for men only, because It requires a lot of strength. Basically it’s a combination between manoeuvering your horse and focusing your force on hitting the ball. Kind of like golfing, but from a horse, if to say so.

Billie Eilish said that horses are one of the only things that bring her peace. Is it same for you?
– Billie Eilish is totally right! Horses are the best therapy you can get if you love animals and nature. They bring you peace and excitement. You really need to disconnect from the outter world in order to succeed in creating a bond with the horse. It’s a very sensitive animal. If you’re worried, fearful or happy and excited, your horse will feel and react immediately. So forget about your phone for 2-3 hours, otherwise you can find yourself flying off the horse’s back.
You finished your faculty in Marketing and Management and applying for a Master’s program in London, while you doing some model jobs and horse riding. What are your career goals over the next five years?
– The master program I’m starting is in Luxury Management and I see myself working with collectibles, decorative art, exclusive pieces and unique pieces of jewellery. This is what I really want to do in the next years.

How do you spend your free time and what do you like to do most in London?
– London is a hectic town which never sleeps. It’s also very international, kind of a meeting point for people from all around the world. More of that, it’s full of historical value, great architecture and amazing restaurants. I absolutely adore the ritual of afternoon tea there. If you haven’t tried afternoon tea in London – you missed everything!
