Today, Ekaterina Polyanskaya, fashion designer, creator and ideological inspirer of the Feeric clothing brand (a well-known representative of the world of high fashion, not only in Russia but also abroad) does not lack media attention and recognition of her talent. There is even a double of Ekaterina Polyanskaya on the World Wide Web, books on the series of which, being devoted to various witching worlds, found their readers among fans of fantasy.
True, it will still only be. In the meantime, Catherine is 17 years old, and the young showy Muscovite does not even think that her whole future life will be connected with the world of beauty and unique toilets.
Znayka
Ekaterina Polyanskaya was born in 1973. In childhood, like the vast majority of future stars, the girl did not stand out among peers and classmates. Except for their mental abilities. In addition, the future queen of the catwalk in her school years was extremely shy, preferring the book to any entertainment or socializing with other children.
It is not surprising that, as a schoolgirl, Katya only thought about great science, dreaming of devoting her life to her.
I didn’t want to be a model. She was oriented to study. She planned herself a long way in science: PhD, then dissertations. But in the subway, agents constantly approached me and offered to try myself in the modeling business …
So in the piggy bank of achievements of Katya Polyanskaya got two higher education - pedagogical and architectural.
Mannequin
It is believed that in our life everything is predetermined. Ekaterina Polyanskaya, despite all her scientific aspirations, towards her twentieth birthday gradually turned from an ugly duckling into a spectacular long-legged blonde.
In the 90s, the world of Moscow fashion did not yet know such a thing as a model. Girls defiling on the catwalk in fashionable outfits, or flickering in the first domestic clumsy music videos, were called more simply and more logically - fashion models. Across Moscow, in search of suitable candidates, agents rushed about, offering young attractive girls a beautiful life and career.
To Catherine, these scouts of beauty constantly approached. The girl for a long time rejected their increased attention, until she decided to try. The main reason for her act was nothing more than a struggle with herself. At first, the girl only wanted to defeat her natural timidity and shyness thanks to the catwalk.
I am a very shy person, and working as a model has become a victory over myself. When you step onto the podium, all the excitement disappears, you feel like a queen, and in life this is not always the case. I am very critical of myself and people, and therefore I know all my schools and shortcomings. And on the podium, I forget about them. This feeling was directly necessary. Thanks to him, I won …
The time was difficult, and the 50 dollars that were usually paid for one exit were money that could be spent on, compared with the meager pay of scientific workers at research institutes everywhere closing down.
So began the catwalk career of Ekaterina Polyanskaya, which lasted almost ten years, during which the girl managed to become a model of the Red Stars agency and the famous Valentin Yudashkin, who later became her teacher, the face of Givenchy and Tiffany, to attend the fashion shows of the most famous international Fashion Houses. Her numerous photographic images could be seen in magazines such as Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Jardin des Modes, L'Officiel and many others.
Kobzon
Ekaterina Polyanskaya and Andrei, the son of the famous country-wide singer and artist Joseph Kobzon, met at the peak of the model's modeling career. At that time, between Kobzon Jr. and his star father there was such a strained relationship that for several years they even preferred not to communicate.
Andrei, in the absence of parents' attention and their constant employment, grew up as a difficult and hooligan teenager. His nanny was engaged in his education. True, the young man graduated from school well. Then Kobzon Jr. showed a talent for music, and for some time he worked with the Moral Code and Sunday groups.
At first, the girl was simply fascinated by the sincere and kind Andrei. He was like a warm ray of light in the dirty troubled 90s. It was easy and somehow reliable with him. The young people quickly converged and lived in a civil marriage for several years, wandering around the corners of acquaintances and friends. It was very difficult, and sometimes so hungry, that they had to go to dinner with the parents of Catherine.
In order to somehow feed his family, Andrei went into the business headlong, becoming a co-owner of one of the elite clubs, and a little later became interested in restaurant and jewelry.
Then the father and son of Kobzona reconciled, and Catherine and Andrei got married.
Wedding
The wedding was very magnificent. According to the status of the groom's family, a holiday was arranged in the center of Moscow, in the restaurant of the Metropol Hotel, one of the most expensive and status places in the capital. It is noteworthy that they played it in Russian traditions, despite the national roots of the star family.
The celebration was attended by several hundred guests - the entire Kobzon family, friends, relatives and colleagues from the bride and groom. The father of the groom, Joseph Davydovich, gave the bride a vintage ring. Catherine herself, sparkling with a chic dress from the already famous fashion designer Yudashkin, as if had a nightmare, suffered this day, after which she fell ill with the flu for two weeks.
Already at that time, the couple began to have problems in their relationship. Quarrels and even mutual partings for several days became frequent. And the wedding was a kind of attempt to get rid of all doubts and strengthen their union.
So she became the wife of Andrei Kobzon, Ekaterina Polyanskaya.
Children
The young couple married had two girls: Polina - in 1999, and Anya - in 2001.
Kobzon Jr., completely gone into business life, at that infrequent time when he was at home, turned from a businessman into a caring and loving father.
Grandfather Joseph loved his granddaughters in his own way: he teased them with expensive gifts and sweets (in the photo Ekaterina Polyanskaya with her husband, Andrei Kobzon, and daughters, Polina and Anya)
After the birth of daughters, Ekaterina Polyanskaya returned to the podium. However, this previously beloved occupation has already lost its former importance and significance. As the former model herself later said, she outgrew her work.
Divorce
The reason why Catherine and Andrew broke up can be called banal "did not agree on the characters." Young spouses, each of whom at the time of the wedding was only a little over twenty years old, were simply not ready for responsibility and a kind of mutual lack of freedom of family life.
Catherine’s work implied publicity and constant publication, media, communication, new acquaintances and a complete lack of free time for the family.
Andrei, on the contrary, did not like crowded places and increased attention to himself. He avoided this in every possible way and, like his wife, he disappeared all the time at his work.
As Catherine later admitted, instead of romantic feelings, they, by and large, were connected by mutual friendship. Both understood each other perfectly. And each of them could not help themselves. Both are strong, self-sufficient individuals. And each of them could not put an end to his career for his spouse. They lived together for eight years, as if by inertia. Kobzon Jr. is an introvert fixated on his inner world and his problems. Elena is always ready to help and support, but too busy with work at the same time. Over time, each of them became not only the few that remained between them. It’s very scary when everything seems to be there, but the most important thing, happiness, is not and never was. And life goes to waste ….
So, without having been married for 10 years, the couple separated. Quiet, without scandals and mutual claims.
As the ex-wife of Kobzon’s son, Yekaterina Polyanskaya, already says, in the end it turned out that Andrei began to see his children more often after a divorce.
Dmitry
A holy place, as they say, is never empty. And now, after some short time, footballer Dmitry Bulykin burst into the life of Catherine with a locomotive.
They met each other at one of the many social events. Ekaterina Polyanskaya is the wife of Kobzon Jr. Dmitry - was also at that time in a relationship with one girl. At first they were just friends, without any signs of attention, flirting and the like. The circle continued to narrow, and Bulykin began to meet already with one of Catherine’s close friends. And, as soon as the marriage of Polyanskaya and Kobzon broke up - he immediately appeared on her horizon. The relationship between them somehow immediately developed, as if they were two halves for each other.
New family
Dmitry is six years younger than Catherine. However, this does not bother them at all.
The couple met in 2005 and lives in a civil marriage. According to Catherine, the stamp in the passport does not matter.
At first, the football player had certain difficulties with the children of Ekaterina Polyanskaya, Polina and Anya. However, the openness and sociability characteristic of Dmitry quickly melted this ice of mistrust between them. He surrounded them with care and attention, and the girls quickly fell in love with him.
Two years later, Catherine and Dmitry had a daughter, Agatha, and in 2010, Vitalina was born, the second daughter of a happy couple.
