Apartments of stars: visiting Zhanna Friske
She happily prepares pasta, enjoys placing copper utensils on the kitchen shelves and enthusiastically buys lace napkins. Believe it or not, all this does … Zhanna Friske.
Apartments of stars
Corner sofa in the living room, Tsekh company. Wooden chandeliers, Cellini.
If Russian girls have role models, then, of course, one of the first places is occupied by the singer and actress Zhanna Friske. Beautiful, successful, energetic … Besides, she confidently carries the difficult title of a sex symbol. For a year now, she acquired her own house, and before that she had been wandering around in rented apartments for many years. “Maybe that’s why I didn’t understand people who spend hours choosing curtains and then pulling them on themselves from abroad, or waiting for six months for some designer chair that floats to them from the other end of the world,” the singer admits.
Everything changed at the moment when Zhanna bought an apartment in a new building in the center of Moscow. The acquisition looked the way almost all new buildings look today – 90 square meters of clean concrete. Soon a designer appeared in the house, who confidently declared: “A fashionable singer must live in a fashionable way!” And it was sold! Semicircular walls, glass partitions … In general, “welcome to the future.” “I have done my job, now you will decorate everything here (!?) A little”, – with these words the designer took his leave. And on the threshold appeared the decorator Irina Apenyanskaya.
“How beautiful!” These two words were said by everyone who visited Zhanna’s apartment: sister, friends, colleagues, girlfriends from the “Brilliant” group … But the most valuable thing for her was the approval of her father.
It is especially pleasant to sit on the loggia on a sunny day.
There are no bulky wardrobes and pedestals in the hallway. All things are hidden in the dressing room. Bench, Cabiate.
Of course, she appeared not just like that, but on the recommendation of friends. But no one expected that this fragile girl would start “breaking down the walls”. And literally. “I convinced Zhanna that everything that had been built was worthless, and offered her my own version of the layout with the division of space into private and public zones,” says Irina. – The combined kitchen-dining-living room now has enough room to receive guests. A spacious dressing room accommodates all of Jeanne’s outfits. You know, when I first visited the apartment she rented, I saw that the main owners there were dresses and shoes. Therefore, I counted all the boxes of shoes, all the evening dresses, all the bags so that they would definitely find a place in the new house, but at the same time they would not occupy it … But the main thing, – continues the decorator, – I wanted to make a house in which Zhanna could feel protected. She has a very busy rhythm of life. She just needs a shelter! ” Well … It is difficult to argue with this statement, but the stars are known not so much for their craving for peace, as for whims and scandals. “No, no,” Irina Apenyanskaya disagrees. – With Zhanna, we immediately developed a very trusting relationship. She has no stellar pathos at all. “
But the builders “did not violate the genre”: there were disputes, and the change of the brigade, and the shot down … But all this “orchestra of masters” was confidently led by Irina. True, she did not entrust the decoration of the walls to anyone using her proprietary technology. “I locked myself in an apartment for a month. And layer by layer applied paint … “But the artists who did the painting in the bedroom, in order to avoid disruption of the schedule, had to be” locked up “forcibly. “We are creators! – they were indignant. – What time frame are you talking about !? “
We are used to seeing Friske in revealing outfits on stage or on the covers of men’s magazines. But here’s the paradox: this feminine and romantic apartment is very suitable for Jeanne.
This stucco bathroom with heavy curtains and ROSBRI fixtures can only be accessed from the hostess’s bedroom.
Jeanne took an active part in the design of the bedroom. I personally chose velvet for the head of the bed.
“Now I understand those people who from all over the world drag things for their home,” Jeanne laughs. – Not so long ago I starred in advertising in Budapest and spent all my free hours in antique shops. It’s only when you have your own home that you realize how exciting it is to buy all those forks, cups, spoons. By the way, Jeanne did not take anything from a rented apartment. No, of course, dresses and shoes have moved to a new place of residence. And further … But she bought everything else on purpose. And in her extremely busy schedule there was time for this – after all, in such a matter there are no trifles …
PS The film crew of our magazine really liked visiting Zhanna Friske. The hostess gave everyone tea and jam, was not capricious and did not show any “star manners”. She even confessed that she had begun renovations in her new apartment in Miami. And she promised to invite Elle Decor to visit …
