My name is Dzhuliyana Dimitrova, I am 24 years old, and I am proud to represent my country, Bulgaria. I live in Sofia – a place that inspires me every day with its culture and endless possibilities.
When you’re not busy with fashion projects, how do you like to spend your free time?
I love spending time with my family and friends, reading inspiring books, and staying active through fitness and yoga. This balance helps me feel grounded and creative.
–How did you start your career in fashion?
I started my career in fashion by taking every opportunity to learn and improve. From small shoots to local fashion shows, each experience taught me professionalism, discipline, and expression.
–What is the photoshoot or fashion show you remember most fondly so far?
One of the fashion shows I remember most fondly was a Summer fashion festival held almost every year in Bulgaria, where I had the chance to walk the runway wearing a stunning collection inspired by modern art. The energy backstage, the lights, and the excitement of the audience made it an unforgettable experience. It was magical to see how creativity and teamwork come together to create something truly beautiful.
–You had already participated in a national competition: what did that experience teach you?
It taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of supporting others. Even though it’s a competition, kindness and respect always shine the brightest.
-How are you preparing for Miss Europe Continental on a physical, mental, and emotional level?
I am preparing for Miss Europe Continental by treating each day as an opportunity to grow. Physically, I combine fitness, dance, and outdoor activities to stay strong and agile. Mentally, I challenge myself with learning new skills, practicing visualization, and setting clear goals. Emotionally, I focus on gratitude, positivity, and surrounding myself with people who inspire and uplift me. This holistic approach helps me feel balanced, confident, and ready to shine on stage.
– In an industry like fashion, where image is key, how important is it to have strong self-esteem?
Strong self-esteem is absolutely essential in fashion. It allows you to carry yourself with confidence on the runway, handle criticism gracefully, and stay true to your personal style. When you believe in yourself, it shows in everything you do, making you stand out naturally.
–In your opinion, how important is personality over physical appearance in a beauty contest?
Beauty attracts the eye, but personality captures the soul. In the world of fashion and pageants, it is not the face, but the kindness, values and confidence that truly define a queen and inspire everyone around her.
–How’s your relationship with your family? Do they support you on this journey?
My relationship with my family is very close and supportive. They have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and believe in myself, and their love and guidance remind me that I am never alone on this journey, giving me the courage to face any challenge.
–What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to leave a positive mark on the world, showing that courage, determination, and kindness can overcome any obstacle. I hope to inspire others to follow their dreams and never stop believing in themselves.
