"When one woman can empathize with another - only then does she truly see her."
Stanimira Yanakieva is a lifestyle expert specializing in styling, etiquette and good manners. As a founder of SV PRIVÉ,
she has dedicated her mission to inspire people, cultivate elegance, confidence, and impeccable taste.
"Womаn as a Muse" is a project for women who are strong, sensitive, resilient and authentic. It was created with gratitude and respect for the people who don't just appear in our lives, but become a guiding light and inspiration. For this project I Invited 20 remarkable women, challenging them to put on a tuxedo - to look in the mirror and see an image of strength and femininity at once. The number 20 also symbolizes my own 20-year professional journey devoted to visual arts, image-making and the pursuit of beauty as a form of inspiration.
MARIA SILVESTAR
"Beauty is not an end in itself, beauty is meaning."
Maria is an ambassador for "Woman as a Muse" precisely because of all the qualities she carries within her. She is strong, beautiful, successful, and inspiring, but also genuine and vulnerable. Maria combines within herself different worlds - the confidence of a strong woman and the tenderness of someone unafraid to show her sensitivity.
She is an example of a woman in whom all these qualities exist at once, a harmony between strength and humanity. In her, we find depth, transformation, and that rare ability to turn a personal story into a message.
A muse who stands before the viewer with her image, her vulnerability, and her strength. A woman who fills the space, because she has the courage to show human life as she sees it, layered in all its nuances.
P.S. Maria appeared unexpectedly in this project, but we both believe that nothing happens by chance. Paths meet at exactly the moment they need to, to give even deeper meaning to the whole story.

ELITSA VELIKOVA
"In every woman, we can see reflected the qualities she possesses."
The alchemist of the soul.
Elitsa is one of those muses who don't just inspire, they transform. She has the ability to see beyond the surface, to reach the deepest layers of human essence, and to uncover what needs to be healed and understood.
This muse is special to me because she manages to polish every part of me that needs change, not to turn me into someone else, but to bring me closer to the truest version of myself.
She is the muse who knows how to open the soul, to hear its quiet messages, and to bring into the light what it needs. With her wisdom, intuition, and deep understanding of people, Elitsa turns the inner journey into a process of beauty and awareness.

ALEKSANDRA BOGDANSKA
"A woman is at her most beautiful when she is happy."
A muse who combines beauty, discipline, and example. A muse who reminds us that true strength lies not only in achieving your dreams, but in staying true to yourself along the way.
Aleksandra is an example of not losing ourselves, of seeking a better version of ourselves every day, and of not being afraid to pursue our dreams - even when they seem bigger than anything we ever imagined.
Because it is precisely the courage to dream that turns the impossible into the possible.
