Dear Shalkar

The name of this young oriental beauty is on a par with young talents glorifying Kazakhstan, its richest culture and human potential abroad. The beauty of Aya Shalkar brought her to the catwalk as a teenager, her passion for fashion grew into a desire to study art, and the girl learned to be a graphic designer. Today she works in Vienna, develops her own clothing brand, maintains a popular blog on Instagram and dreams of conquering the film industry.

Ayaulym (this is the girl's full name) Shalkar was born on January 29, 1996 in Aktau, Kazakhstan. Aya's father is a businessman, mother is a housewife. The woman was actively involved in the creative development of her daughter, so the girl's childhood turned out to be eventful. She attended a music school (piano), an art studio and language courses, thanks to which she is now fluent in English, French and German, in addition to her native Kazakh and Russian.

При этом Айя на отлично училась в школе, радовала родителей только хорошими оценками и была примером для одноклассников. Став постарше, школьница расширила круг увлечений, включив в него занятия фотографией. В подростковом возрасте, как и другие сверстницы, пережила кризисный период, когда ей не нравилась собственная внешность.

В трудные моменты на помощь всегда приходила мама Гаухар, с которой у девушки особая трогательная связь. До сих пор между ними сохранился ритуал, так называемый «час мамы», когда они просто садятся, обнявшись, и могут провести так от 15 минут до часа.

For a long time, Aya was the only daughter of a married couple, but when the girl turned 18, she had a brother and sister - twins Arlan and Ariana.

At this time, the future designer was already studying in France, in Strasbourg, at the faculty of arts of a famous creative university. The girl admitted that it was easy to enter, she worked on a motivation letter, passed the test well in French and attached the original portfolio. Aya started studying visual arts and then delved into graphic design.

Aya is the owner of an unusual appearance. For all the typical Asian features - a Mongoloid eye shape and high cheekbones - the girl has blue eyes. This is a rarity for representatives of Kazakh nationality.

As a teenager, model scouts drew attention to a pretty Asian woman with a chiseled figure (height 168 cm), and soon Aya made her debut on the catwalk and in front of camera lenses, filming to advertise various brands. Living in Almaty, the model collaborated with the EAT models agency.

The modeling business so captivated the young Shalkar that as soon as she turned 16, she wanted to leave her native country for Paris or Milan and develop a career as a fashion model there, because everyone around predicted Aya a great future in this industry.

Все повернулось иным образом: Шалкар постепенно увлеклась дизайном, а вскоре и сама создала собственный бренд одежды в стиле минимализма «АШ». Модельная деятельность перенеслась на второй план и стала одним из любимых увлечений. Уже живя во Франции, девушка участвовала в различных съемках для глянцевых журналов. А однажды даже появилась на обложке модного журнала «ZUT!»

В 2017 году Айя Шалкар завела блог в «Инстаграме», который стал своеобразным продолжением модельного хобби. Девушка размещает в популярной соцсети свои оригинальные фотографии в креативных нарядах, купальниках, национальных костюмах.

Более того, каждую публикацию модель-дизайнер сопровождает увлекательным постом, благодаря чему привлекает еще больше новых подписчиков, количество которых и так исчисляется тысячами, недаром юная казашка слывет звездой «Инстаграма». К примеру, в ноябре 2017 года Шалкар сделала селфи с президентом Австрии Александром Ван дер Белленом, которое стало «рекордсменом» по лайкам.

В 2018 году Айя снялась в клипе популярного казахстанского рэпера Jah Khalib на песню «Медина», в котором предстала в образе главной героини. Видео снято в стиле исторического кино: живописные степные пейзажи, роскошные традиционные костюмы и юрты – все было призвано передать неповторимый дух кочевых времен.

Окунувшись в атмосферу подлинных киносъемок, Шалкар всерьез заинтересовалась экранной индустрией. Девушка подала заявку на кастинг в исторической картине о выдающейся представительнице древней кочевой цивилизации – царице Томирис, но участие в проекте не состоялось из-за временных несостыковок.

В том же 2018 году талантливая казахстанка стала номинантом в мировом рейтинге «The 100 Most Beautiful Faces», ежегодно публикуемом международным сообществом независимых критиков.

The personal life of the model is of interest to her many fans. For a long time, only one character appeared in it - Yuri Levin. Her boyfriend is also from Kazakhstan, but after school he left to study as an architect in Vienna. Aya followed her beloved; after a French university, the girl entered the prestigious Austrian institution "Die Angewandte" at the faculty of graphic design.

However, in 2017, the couple broke up after 5 years of relationship. The news upset Shalkar fans. However, soon they again had a reason to rejoice for their favorite. In 2019, the famous Kazakh director and clip maker Aisultan Seitov, who is now fruitfully collaborating with Russian artists, said in an interview to the shocking Yuri Dudyu that he was dating model Aya Shalkar.

Aya now lives, studies and works in Vienna. According to her, life in this European city is comfortable, but she would not want to stay in it. She plans to live in different cities and feel like a "citizen of the world."
