It is difficult to say when Polina has become a fan of a healthy lifestyle and was so fascinated by sports that it can now easily endure millions of fans of morning jogs and healthy eating.

It is from her filing stores where the clothing of premium brands was sold, first developed to the network, and then some of them were modified into the "Podium Market" - a more affordable boutique working on a wide audience.

Special knowledge that the fashion industry demanded from her, Polina studied independently. The businesswoman says that she helped her husband in many ways.

Most kind

She calls him the most kind and patient man and tells about his fine, unsurpassed taste, with the help of which the spouse directs and Polina itself. Well, what else to wait from a man whose business is directly related to the fashion industry?

Kizhenko also tells that the spouse can give a good advice and in the image of his wife. The legendary hairstyle of the blonde came up with him. He can casually note what outfit on the field is more winning.

Maybe therefore Polina calls her husband with his best friend, and the family is not a sport and not work - the closest sphere in which it is ready to be implemented infinitely.

The Creative Director of "Podium" Polina Kitzenko has no better friend, but there is a better friend who is the part-time husband Edik. This he invented her legendary hairstyle, knows how to give useful tips on choosing clothes and just supports everything. With such a man, no crisis is terrible, although a little bit still terrible ...


Polina Kizhenko Wimpberry and Terrible at the same time. Mixing these two, it would seem that opposite paints gives an amazing effect. Read the interview with Ksenia Sobchak.

These are such a "swing." It's not easy to manage, but her husband is destiny. For me, fields are not only Fields without Edik. Their union is an example of how people can make each other harder and better, leveling all the shortcomings and enlarging advantages. It seems to me, in order to love Polina truly, you should always keep in mind this her tenderness, which is very difficult to see the inattentive person over the thick layer of defense. Therefore, this interview was personal, no word about sports - On the agenda only work and family!

I want to say right away: I hope that there will be no word about sports in this interview, because everything is already known about this part of your life. (Laughs.)

(Smiles.) Then I immediately warn everyone who is waiting for advice on how to spray a hundred times without any help: you can not read further! (Laughs.) In fact, I am very grateful for it, because over the past few years, all journalists ask me the same questions.

But I always wanted to speak you about work. I know that before the "podiums" you, no matter how difficult it is to believe today, worked in a bank in a serious position, dealt with credit cards. Also, I know that you have very fast and very chain brains, you instantly grab everything, among all my friends you are the only one who all over six months managed to learn Italian, you are very gifted and certainly very smart. Tell me, are you not boring to do business in the sphere, which is considered frivolous?

No, not at all boring. In me, probably, this female gene is absolute and infinite joy arising at the sight of a beautiful thing. Despite the long years of work in fashionable business, I still can happen to the vitaminization - the degree of my mood can wildly jump from the fact that I saw something beautiful, and this can be like a hatter for a thousand and Mad outfit for tens of thousands or even some, I do not know, a shade of nail polish. I am very glad that beauty is part of my work.

And what part of the work you do not like?

The hardest is working with staff, with employees. We work in the service sector, all that we do is based solely on principle, conventionally speaking, providing services to the population, so I always speak my team: it is meaningless to invest everything in procurement, weeks without weekends to work on wear in the show figures, because What our advanced is where the buyer meets with a hanger. No matter how awesome collection, no matter how tempting it on the brackets, no matter how privileged to you in the closet, if the inept, unnecessary seller is nearby, will not work, there will be nothing.

What specifically distinguishes a good seller from bad?

A person must love his job, must really drag from the fact that he can be a useful concrete person, should feel how to communicate with one or another client, adapt to him.


Explain on the example. Suppose I go to the "podium" and please attribute to the versatory won the blue coat. What makes the perfect seller?

Ksyush, with you enough. Many people think that you have a difficult character, partly it is so, but in part is not so, because you are very specific, you always know what you want, you are very constructively approaching your time, and it makes you a good buyer. You just need to quickly quickly fold into the packages and attribute to the car so that you feel all at home. (Laughs.)

I am always terribly infuriated when the sellers respond to questions with abnormal phrases that do not carry any practical information to the buyer. The coolest thing is when you start to feel that you do not take a thing, do not stand up to leave money, but apply efforts to win your trust, for example, honestly say that such a length is shortening legs or that this color is not to face.

When the seller at least something can say, it is already happiness. (Laughs.) The perfect seller must have tremendous enthusiasm and one hundred percent competence, that is, the ability to tell what is for the thing and what it is made, what kind of collection, is there any other color or in another "Podium", if not, then when Will and will be at all, with what to wear it and with what not to wear.

You know, we are with you, among other things, one moment is related: I think it's no secret for you that your employees call you hard, sometimes even overly, the leader. What can you answer?

Nothing. My rich years of experience shows that they usually say the lazy people who are looking for an excuse. Little annoying me as much as attempts to justify the error. Sorry, offered options for solving the problem, anywhere - just do not justice, especially the phrase "just well, so ...". I don't like terribly! When I have a bad mood, I can even tell everyone that I don't want the word "simply" generally used at work. The word "simple" we have forbidden! (Laughs.)

Because just so like this. (Laughs.) Did you happen that you brought a person to tears, but then I apologized?

It happened earlier when I was not so experienced as now. The last time this happened a few years ago, when I sometimes had, let's say more emotional. I never overlook the person, but nevertheless before in a certain figurative form it was, but now it is not. Literally a couple of times I apologized immediately after the incident, if I saw that I brought a person to hysterics, although I could not deter tears with tears. And then I am not nominor, I know it for sure, I never give impossible tasks.

Can you tell us about a particular case of instant dismissal when a person did something outrageous, unacceptable?

You know, the paradox is that I, with all my alleged stiffness, never dismissed anyone in my life immediately, I always gave a chance to correct, I never made a legal error of Maria Baybakova - in our country in the Labor Code, it is impossible to fire anyone . (Laughs.) And if seriously, then for dismissal, it is necessary to directly offer. But in any employee there is something good, otherwise he would not work with me, so at first, I forgive, but even small mistakes have a cumulative effect, and therefore, if a person failed in a situation in which no one from him I expected it could be the last straw and the cause of parting. So despite its increased reactivity in some moments in the long run, I am very tolerable.

One of your great personal merits is a contribution to the success of the Maison Bohemique brand. The joke walks around the city that the guys, like Lannisters, always pay debts: You helped them at the very beginning, now they, who refuse everyone, are sold in principle only in the "podium" and there they also send everyone to order their outfit directly to the mark You took yourself, they do not cherish anyone according to individual standards, although for them in terms of profit it would be more correct, but it is impossible to get it right, they only have Anya Chipovskaya, Vika Isakov and you. How did you manage to build such relationships?

Ksyushenka, I immediately want to say: I can't utter the names of these designers. These are their philosophy and their condition.

Do not pronounce.

We have absolute synergy with them. I immediately understood that this is a chart! I saw on our girlfriend Ulyana the dress that I was insanely liked, she presented to me by his authors, said that they were very talented artists, introduced us, gave them to contacts, and cooperation took place between us.

Have you immediately agreed on exclusiveness?

Yes. What is important, the guys themselves understand that such a serious product, like them - the wrong, man-made, really couture, can not be sold in several places, they have no production where they could stamp their outfits. Plus, they do not want to communicate with superfluous people, so it is profitable for our customers.

Let's talk about the rules of successful procurement. I know for sure that in St. Petersburg, for example, for obvious climatic reasons in the autumn-winter season, all records of sales beat minimalistic black coats, but the coral Cape Chloe, which in all the capitals of the world they joined the day and no longer expectation, no one even I noticed and they still hang in a pair of stores, although they were ordered in a single copy. Also, St. Petersburg Bayers on an industrial scale buy high boots on a stable heel and such as a platform, because the petersburg will simply adore them, and still designer umbrellas. Can you voice the hit list of Muscovites? What is consistently sold well?

I can say that in Moscow very poorly for sale: the color of the khaki and brown color.

No one wants to dress like a poop? (Laughs.) And I love them so much!

You are an exception. Since the fashion is constantly rotating around its axis, designers from time to time return to the style of Militari. And this is a dark blue or black "marine" nipper with gold buttons, as a rule, always becomes superbestseller, while a brown jacket in the style of modern military shape chances of being sold quite low. Although the last two winter season began to enjoy the popularity of the park, the people drove into the parks! And now the color of the khaki as an exception is not bad for sale in the form of parks. At the same time, the khaki in the form of a jacket or sweater to sell is simply impossible. It is very difficult - in any case, in our stores - with a leopard and other animalistic prints, although they really like me on those who can wear it and who comes. The last two or three winters, when the pastel color returned and became fashionable in winter to wear bright, we began to carefully buy white, including white shoes, although before in the winter season it was absolutely excluded. And now we have become good to sell, as I call them, "stray bows" - skirts, dresses, white coat. People have come up, plus today more and more people can afford to get to the threshold, to the door, jump out from the car and immediately go somewhere.

By the way, the first wearing a white coat began to start Ulyana Zeitlin.

She intuitively understood that it was necessary to stand out. (Smiles.)

What is always at the peak? Can you call unchanged hits?

Everything changes. The last couple of seasons, for example, honeycomb are very well sold, such ones at a very high heel, at low or, let's say, the middle intermediate, without a vulnerable notch, in the measure of fishing. (Laughs.) Always selling roots, motorcycle jackets, motorcycle shoes.


And what is better for sale: skirts or dresses?

Depends on the age group. But in general, last years the demand for dresses is growing, because the dress makes it possible not to break your head - you wear it, in three minutes you think the accessories, and you are ready.

You know, when we just started to communicate, you were for me the embodiment of the right Moscow secular ...

Was there? (Laughs.)

But when we got closer, I realized that in fact you are very homely. What was my surprise when I found out that you were preparing my husband [Eduard Kizhenko, co-owner of the group of companies "Podium Market". - approx. SNC] breakfasts, always come home early in the evening to stay with him! .. How does this pull to the household getting along with your steel will, a leader's grip?

breakfasts, always come home early in the evening to stay with him! .. How does this traction get along with your steel will, a leader's grip?

Yes, I am such a Chekhov dusty. (Laughs.) I really love to be at home most of all in the world, for me it is a natural habitat, I am in a secular life, if only the outputs are not associated with communication with people I love.

Your couple for many in Moscow can serve as an example for imitation - you both are very respectful to each other. You do not have loud conflicts, I always bring your story as an example of real big love. Tell me, was it always?

It seems to me that it is a greater degree of his merit, because he is a very kind person, tolerant and patient. At the same time, he creates conditions in which I can grow and develop, supports me in many ways, a lot of things teaches me, so far I have ... Million things that I know and which I have in my life, I took over Of course, he.

I know you are consulting with him about what to wear you, and that his assessment is very important for you.

Yes, I always listen to him, we can say that he largely contributed to the development of my ability to dress. (Smiles.) For example, I went three or four years with an elongated haircut, and once a few months could casually say something like: "Listen, and you do not want to trim? Something you lost your style. " It is not literally so, of course, it was not a shame, but very aptly, right to the tremors.

So it did he come up with your legendary hairstyle?

Sure. But I understand me correctly: he does not observe my appearance and does not make me comments endlessly, no, everything goes in a very light form, for example, when I sometimes begin to capricious, he can calmly calmly and cut down: "Poles, you It does not paint, you yourself know that there are options that work on you much better, "after which it turns away and continues to read your some kind of book. His comments always go any discount, unobtrusively, but always hit the point.

You know, sometimes it seems that you have a certain unwashed contract with your husband, you both like that you are playing a bad and good policeman - he is soft, and you are tough, and you perfectly complement each other.

In fact, everything is easier: he is wiser, and I am emotionally. (Smiles.)


What qualities do you value most in people?

You know, I made sure that friends do not know in the mountain, but in joy, in the ability to divide your success, and especially - in the ability to share their success. In Friendship, the ability to divide your success with those who were near the very beginning who was put to you shoulder when you climbed up. It often happens that, while you worked and grew up, another person stood in place and, accordingly, did not grow up, which means it should stay in the past. Also, we stay in the past someone, to whose level we did not manage to grow on time.

You are right, and no, it's all subjectively enough. I now know for sure that a friend is the one who was able to save humanity in itself and adequacy, who did not break away from her roots, if, of course, they had. If one person "grows" from the other, he is no longer needed roots. You, for example, may seem that someone from your friends forgot your roots, and yours, conditionally, a school friend may seem to, she is all such an elegant, some kind of chief accountant there, but you forgot your roots, called And therefore ceased to call her.

You led the situation as an example when two people belong to different social worlds and there are no common interests between them. And I believe that, first of all, people unites the generality of interests, but in this situation it can not be. In fact, I brought such axiom for myself: I want to be there, with those and so spend my time so that I was good and comfortable.

Are there any specific people who did not do you badly, but with which you just uncomfortable?

I work in the service sector, and for me anyone is a potential client, so as a professional I should be polite with everyone.

Who is your closest girlfriend?

I have no, probably, never even had the brief friend. I have the closest friend - my husband, I have the closest sphere my family, my family, my home, is my such cocoon. In general, many years ago, I decided to stop hanging the labels on people, because any step towards a person with a label on the neck is perceived by you as a microenstation, and this is wrong, because all people are different, everyone has the right to make a mistake, so everyone needs to be left A small gap for its flaws. You should not create a cumir, you just need to appreciate those with whom you are good and who is well with you.

You know, I'm not just asking you about it. You are a very closed man and you don't even give anyone to yourself. What is it connected with, what makes you always keep a distance?

In fact, I am very in love, I often fall in love with some characters, in my girlfriends, and therefore I kind of rampant. But the older I get, the clearer I understand that with no one person can always be and everywhere else well.

Next to whom, except for your husband, can you take off your armor and show yourself vulnerable? To sit down next and confessed in my weakness, figuratively, in the fact that you, for example, you are afraid of age or feel ugly, I do not know, it can be anything. Do you have such people?

Of course, there is, and you know them, you enter their number. But I do not want to tell the personal, hidden part of myself, I am afraid to smooth and therefore I don't want this information in public space.

Don't your closeness prevent you from?

Yes, I do not consider myself closed! (Laughs.)

Listen, I know your girlfriend, and I know for sure that in order for you to talk about yourself, an earthquake should happen.

It is rather life experience, not closely. Previously, you could call me more open. And then, Ksyushenka, do not you think that we are like? We are both scorpions ...

Specifically there is no, although we really converge in many ways.

You are multi-modular, even when you seem to you, open, you have another twenty-two unexplored bottoms. I do not hide anything, but there are people with whom I am not interested in to share anything, and I do not share. In general, I would call myself even excessively open, I can break the hearts in the hearts, and this my openness always breeds some gossip. It seems to me that my so-called closeness is a question of my choice, and I am not hard to do it, this question is solved at the level of my subconscious. This is my such airbag, which gives me the opportunity to feel comfortable, and leaves people a space for the wrong step, gives them an alienation zone where they can hurt and think.

Don't you think that real friendship is manifested in the ability to tell his friend about the fact that he is wrong?

I am always grateful to you for comments, we had situations when you were extremely honest with me, and I really appreciate it. But I myself, if I don't ask me, I will never do comments. If you ask, I will say.

Can you call yourself a cautious person?

Yes of course. I think this is character.

That is, these are not spiritual burns, and congenital quality?

And experience too, character is because only half natural, the other half is the life experience, striking on genetic thread.

Are you worried when you criticize you?

Only when people do, whose opinion is interesting to me. In the process of growing, you begin to cut out an important criticism from the noise irrelevant to you. By the way, this is taught, including the social network, and you for me in this regard an indicative example, because I know that you can read the whole of the world's garbage garbage, and it will not spoil your mood to you, but it It can ruin one negative word of a person whose opinion is really important for you.

Only if it is a public word. I love and appreciate criticism and always surprise that other people in this sense are not like me. I am always terribly insulting when my best motives are perceived by becoming when people refuse to hear the truth about themselves.

And I always surprise me in our with you, with any seriousness, with any seriousness, they sometimes discuss some critical comments in your address in "Instagram" or on the "Gossip". People really insanely frustrating the opinions of Anonymous, what to talk about cases when some of their ex-girlfriend or a former employee speaks publicly! People are insanely out of themselves, and this is wildly amazing me. I do not have that. But the opinion of the people I love and respect, I can even bring me to tears or make deep think about it.

Everyone knows that you are one of those few who continued close communication with Alena Dolletsky after her departure from Vogue, moreover, it seems to me that it has become even more dense.

Honestly, the degree has not changed.

Have you been surprised how an impressive number of people evaporated from her life?

No, absolutely. Firstly, all its near circle with it was, as it was, as it remained, but because there are no people with the lights of a secular chronicle, no one knows and did not know who comes there. And secondly, unfortunately, the laws of life are such that most of the people who surround us are, let's say, regained, who like to be in the rays of the image that we broadcast, and it should be understood and always remember this. Be that as it may, any relationship between people is always an exchange of energy, and energy is different, and perhaps around Alena had people who did not like the energy of her personality, but the energy of her influence. I appreciate her for another, I am insanely glad that I met her in this life! She is incredible, wildly talented woman, the brightest character, the real nugget! Agree.

Agree. I want to finish an interview on a business note. How is your company going to adapt to the crisis? In today's coordinate system, the fashion and coordinate gloss - the most vulnerable points. Did you think over the survival algorithm?

You know, I will probably be disappointed you now, but I can not sincerely answer this question, first of all because I work as a creative director, that is, my position is conjugate with the work rather than with finance. I understand that everything will be bad, but as far as bad, I do not know, and, I think, 99% of people who will confine you in what they know, in fact, do not know this in the same way and cannot know. The only thing we all know exactly - which is played by a very negative scenario.

In this situation, a strategy for the development of democratic projects, emphasis on the "Podium of Markets" may be saving for your business.

This store is what I really proudly proud to be stronger than others by our merits. We formed this niche in Moscow, we saw in time that it was not filled, and filled it. I'll tell you so: at the moment we follow the general line, which for the last two years have been following: We have stopped our expansion in the luxury segment and do not develop the luxury direction anymore, but we develop in the segment of inexpensive fashionable clothes. And this plan was designed not in connection with the growing course, but long ago. In general, plans are changing every day, because every day there is something simply unimaginable, and the proverb "Want to raise God - tell him about your plans" in our time as never relevant. I do not know what will happen even in a week.

Say honestly, are you horrified from what is happening? What feelings do you experience?

Of course, I'm terrified. We did not expect another crisis. I often think about how hard, although well, too, live in the era of change. On our century you have a third serious economic crisis! You know, during the default, I got under thousands of contractions - out of 6,000 bank employees in which I worked, 5500 was dismissed, and I naturally got into their number. I remember very well the creepy 1998, I remember it very well 2008.

When was it terrible?

Every time scary. But you know, I have the feeling that we smell called everything that everything will be fine. I believe in metaphysics, I love to visualize and always believe that everything will happen exactly as I painted myself, I believe that everything is happening as we want in the depths of our soul that we are building our destinies with our own hands. I think that we will somehow drift, I don't know how, but everything will be fine, because you can simply be different.

Who has two of you in connection with the current situation, a more gloomy mood: Do you have or husband?

Of course, her husband, he has more worries, because he leads just finance.

Finally, I can not not ask you one is not a very nice question. I know that the gap of your husband with his first partner on the "podiums" was painful, there were loud courts ...

It is not true, separation was quite calm and quiet. I would not want to comment on this story, I do not want to return to it. That person came out of the business with the sum that he himself was voiced, the rest - just emotions, probably caused by the fact that without him we did not just drowned, but stepped over and went further.

Well, then the last question. Your dream?

I have a lot of dreams, but global one: so that all my ideas have implemented at least 90%.

Do you manage to combine work and business?
