(Long Island, NY) I had the privilege this week darlings of interviewing glamorous beauty Pageant winner Mrs. International New York, Yulia Gurtin for my TV show Cognac’s Corner. I was introduced to the beautiful Mrs. International through Long Island Couture Designer Vladimar Iabadov whose creations are known as vladicouture.
Gorgeous Yulia was working for Vladi as a couture model when she decided to enroll in the Mrs. International New York Beauty Pageant. Because of her exotic stunning beauty her adoring husband encouraged Yulia to compete in the Beauty Pageant and much to her surprise and amazement she won the preliminaries.
The Mrs. International system has been developed to represent today’s confident married women, the pageant promotes their high commitment to family and marriage and their accomplishments. Mrs. International is the perfect opportunity to be a positive role model for today’s modern married women

Now confident in winning Mrs. International New York, Yulia asked Vladi, also known as “The Count” to design her evening gown for the Pageant.
Before becoming a high fashion designer, Vladimir had a successful 18-year career as a Gynecologist/Obstetrician. Because of his intense love of high fashion and design he started creating couture gowns for the upper class, and political socialites in Russia. After winning his green card in 2001 he decided to fulfill his childhood dream and become a famous fashion couture designer in the United States. He started designing specialty evening gowns for the wealthy New York Russian community. Vlad was introduced to a woman who owned a fashion show room in the garment district. She fell in love with his designs and he started showcasing his red carpet creations at Studio Dee Services. Since then his designs have been worn by R&B singer Ciara, Actress Nicole Robinson and now a suit jacket worn by movie star Luscious Lindsay Lohan in the soon to be released upcoming blockbuster film “Chapter 27”.
