The Fashionisto: When you think modeling, what jobs come to mind and what makes it so memorable?

Yuri Pleskun: Chimney sweep, janitor, computer programmer, garbage man. My mom loves me more now.

TF: Tell us the basics…

YP: I was born on May 14th, 1990. I’m from Bronx, NY and I still live there.

TF: How often are you home?

YP: I am home usually more than half of the year since I am based in New York. I get to see my family more than other models, so I am grateful for that.

TF: When did you start modeling?

YP: I started modeling about 2 years ago. I was discovered at 3 AM by a drunk chick (Gina Jean) who ended up introducing me to Re:Quest and my awesome booker Gaspard.

TF: How did you like this past New York fashion week?

YP: It was like getting my teeth pulled out…through a straw.

TF: Going to castings this season?

YP: I’m not really hoping or planning on going to castings, but if I’m in town, I’m sure my agents will force me to.
