Shakhri Khizrievna Amirkhanova is one of the four granddaughters of the Soviet poet Rasul Gamzatov. She became famous thanks to hard work, and not family ties. Despite her exotic Dagestan name and surname, Shakhri was born and raised in Moscow.
The girl made her first attempts to gain independence at the age of 13. By the way, at that time her grandmother was engaged in the beauty of Shakhri, it was she who took the girl to plastic surgeons, where she underwent rhinoplasty. But in the profession, the girl first became an assistant to the famous media mogul Derk Sauer. She worked for The Moscow Times.
A year later, when career growth began to take shape, Shahri realized that it was time to conquer new heights and decided to move to the USA. There she continued to study and tried to finish school, so that later she could remain permanently and receive further education. But abroad, the girl was never able to establish a life, make friends and a position in society. That is why a year later Shahri returned to her homeland. This decision may not have been easy for her, but it was it that became decisive in her professional development. At that moment, the girl firmly decided oncareer, ambitions and development in the fashion industry.
Try 1
In Moscow, Shakhri Amirkhanova enters Moscow State University, where she chooses the speci alty "foreign languages". In parallel with her studies, the girl gets a job in the fashion department of Cosmopolitan magazine. Constant contact with the fashion industry attracts a girl, and she decides to develop in this direction. To fulfill his dream, Shakhri again leaves Russia and enters the London College of Fashion. For Russian projects and fashion magazines, such education was new, but the granddaughter of Rasul Gamzatov was not used to being like everyone else and giving up halfway.
Achieving Goals
The heyday of a career comes at 21. It was then that the same Derk Sauer and the house of Independent Media, which had already gained popularity, again invite the girl to work. But now Shakhri Amirkhanova is in a prestigious new position as editor of the glossy Harper's Bazaar. In Europe and America, the magazine was very famous, so many fashionistas had the question of how a fragile girl of 21 years old with little or no work experience could handle such turnovers. Envious people prophesied the failure of the first releases under the leadership of Shahri.
But everything happened exactly the opposite: the magazine began to gain popularity, and sales and circulation grew with each issue. In particular, this was facilitated by an interesting decision of Shahri: she came up with the heading "Diaries", where the girl described her life and the events taking place in it. Something like this move resembles today's blogs, but then such a decision wasout of the ordinary and new to readers.
Her talent and steely acumen as editor of Harper's bazaar and Tatler were officially recognized in 2005 at an event among recognized businessmen and entrepreneurs. There, Shakhri Amirkhanova received the Olympia Women's Award.
Dramatic change of course
More unexpected for everyone was her sudden departure from the editorial chair in 2006. But in fact, everything is simple: she has ceased to be interested in this position. Shakhri Amirkhanova believes that one should approach one's activities and work with interest and invest a part of oneself. At some point, social life, the decorated rich wives of the oligarchs got so bored with the girl that she simply stopped going to work.
The editors didn't really want to follow Shahri's lead, and typesetting magazines without inspiration is also not a way out of the situation. Therefore, by mutual decision, the girl was removed from office and was finally able to pay more attention to herself. She had long wanted to slow down the frantic pace and just enjoy nature, solitude and tranquility. There was no friendly support from colleagues or acquaintances, and as a result, Shahri became withdrawn and stopped even liking herself. Creative vulnerable nature did not reconcile with the ambitious business plans of the leaders.
Other priorities
Now Shakhri Amirkhanova, whose biography has changed dramatically, has also revised her views on life. She has long abandoned frilly designer outfits and highheels. The girl believes that materialism has long gone out of fashion, and she simply gives away her unique wardrobe to friends or transports her to the country. Looking good is a simple concept for a girl, it lies in the organic and lightness of the image.
Home and family
Although even in her youth, Shahri understood that she did not want to be in the fashion business and run a glossy magazine at the age of forty. That is why the new environment of creative people who are in no hurry to pull the blanket over themselves, buy yachts, cars, houses, so liked the girl. Her new acquaintances are people who are free from the opinions of others, Shakhri Amirkhanova believes. The girl's personal life is the best developed with the lead singer of the Pompeya group Sasha Lipsky, he is seven years younger than her. The girl is happily married and is raising little Alice.
Shahri does an excellent job with the role of a mother, because she has completely devoted herself to raising a child and maintaining home comfort, this brings her sincere pleasure. The girl believes that now her main goal is to be a good mother and wife, to make her family happy.
Doing things you enjoy
Of course, the girl does not stop writing, she always liked it. But now she does it exclusively for her fans. Shahri has a livejournal. In it, she talks about travels, plans, dreams and what is happening in life. Although she does this infrequently, nevertheless, the articles contain deep sayings, conclusions, and they are also written very sincerely and without unnecessary pathos. But in the articles of Vogue magazine, Shahri reveals the secrets of beauty and youth. ATShe is also well versed in this, because fashion houses have repeatedly admired her oriental beauty. And in her Instagram account, the girl simply shares cute photos with subscribers.
Daily goals
Shahri does not miss the old times and social events. Despite family troubles, the girl has a lot of fresh ideas. One of them is the creation of a collection of children's clothing. In this role, she will be able to prove herself, having in store a great life experience associated with the world of fashion. The young mother has already opened Alisa &Sonya's designer children's clothing store.
She has no nostalgia for the old days. She wonders why everyone was so surprised by her departure from the editorial office, and only occasionally remembers her colleagues with whom she worked on the same team. Shahri's future is in limbo, because she has no idea where she might be in a couple of months. And the best part is, she loves it. She has long dreamed of living in America for a few more months, where her husband will record a new album, do charity work, come to her grandfather's homeland in Dagestan and visit a local school there.
The girl has no far-reaching plans, but Shahri continues to develop as a person. Now she does not care about popularity and gossip at parties, but the atmosphere in the house is much more important. A quiet life brought balance and femininity to the life of Shakhri Amirkhanova.
