I thought I would start a thread on her in case anyone wanted to discuss her as she has a decent amount of subscribers.

Re: Maria Draganova
I find it interesting she is so secretive about what she does for work. My guess if she is living off of her parents money because all she seems to do is shop and eat in London
Re: Maria Draganova
I noticed when she goes 'shopping', she don't actually buy anything - only every once in a while.
She will state what she is going to i.e. harrods for but the items are supposedly sold out, not in the right colour, incorrect size etc.
I feel like her youtube is really just trying to promote the luxury lifestyle - buy going the these designer stores etc.
Sophie Sohlet, a luxury blogger - to me she seems like she is actually in that lifestyle

Re: Maria Draganova
I tend to agree with the above poster, when Maria goes "shopping" she doesn't really buy anything but less expensive trinkets, pom poms, keyrings and jewellery.. She's always trying on bags and shoes but the excuse is ALWAYS the same "They don't have the colour I want, they don't have my size, they're sold out" etc, etc.. I'm surprised viewers haven't cottoned on to it, I haven't seen any comments about it.... I'm sure the sales assistants are tired with her going into the fancy boutiques, filming, taking pictures, trying countless things on with no purchases made..
At the moment she's a "window shopper", she doesn't have the money for the things she wants, but she's got very far with her channel "pretending".. Fake it till you make it and all that...
Her old flat was a bedsit, no one noticed that either....
She really needs to spend money on elocution lessons as her accent is terrible and it annoys me how she miss-pronounces words..

Re: Maria Draganova
Finally someone said what I have been thinking for a while now.
I made a comment on her video a while back at why she is always visiting the stores but never buying anything.
I honestly don't get it why people waste their time going to different stores every week without the intention of buying anything. I hate window shopping. It is such a waste of precious time!
She could create a lot of different content that is not luxury related.

Re: Maria Draganova
She is being doing a lot of Zara hauls lately. I wonder if she is doing just for the views as we barely see her wearing any of these items she buy.
Re: Maria Draganova
I don't mind all the window shopping as much, for my own benefit because I'm curious to see what's in the boutiques sometimes.
It's just that she's the very definition of a fashion victim/label whore. It comes off as very vapid and desperate and not very inspiring or elegant.
She is also the very definition of a duck face with the terrible lip fillers!

Re: Maria Draganova
Just a question: is she trying sometimes to imitate Lydia Elise Millen?? Do we have a copycat??

Re: Maria Draganova
Can't stand her accent. Never buys anything with the same excuses etc etc.
Pretending shes something she's not.
I find it quite tacky even cheap where all her accessories are labels. Get a life woman.

Re: Maria Draganova
Because how women dress where she is from is a big deal. It validates identity, status, helps get a husband, inspires envy etc
I can only speak for Central/Eastern Europe but how Maria dresses is very signature of how women (with money or the means to buy luxury) aspire to dress there. Very label conscious, heavy logo wearing, high stilettos, tight this, bust heavy.....no subtlety but a loud blaring of what you own and can afford.
The fillers, the hair (women from Central/Eastern Europe nearly all have long hair if they settle for the "feminine" look), acrylic nails, glossy plumped up lips and multi brand showing is standard - so there may be more tack on top, if you can believe it!
Maria comes across as very sweet and a little shy so I'm not out to rag on her as I like her travel vlogs and like that she really eats and vlogs it sometimes but I wanted to contribute as to why she may dress the way she does. She could come possibly from money as they dress like that or she may earn a modest income and choose to spend her money on luxe. It's hard to say. She doesn't come across as somebody who grew up with all that, in my opinion.

Re: Maria Draganova
I actually sort of like her too.
I just know that I'm not the only one who is very curious about her career. She has a luxury channel, I think it's only natural for people to wonder about what her job may be - especially since she's so evasive to questions about it

Just another pathetic, jealous h8r | I'm not really a bitch all the time. You just don't like when I call you out on your bullshit... all the time

Re: Maria Draganova
I wasn't such a fan of her either but after noticing how some "luxury" vloggers share fake items such as Lailli and Alizey Mirza I can appreciate someone who actually goes into the store and shows us her buying an authentic item.
I think her speech would improve if she took out the tongue piercing.

Re: Maria Draganova
I agree with this. I think conspicuous consumption has totally skewed up the idea of luxury, in some regards. I see a lot of criticism of Maria on how she shops a lot - but doesn't buy much in a lot of her vlogs. I like that she seems more considerate of her big-ticket luxury items, really revisiting shops to see whether an infatuation with a bag has faded over time or scopes out new releases to see whether she'd prefer a newer model instead. We saw her over a course of shopping vlogs check out Lady Diors but she never bought one, which to me was nice change from somebody seeing a bag hyped all over Instagram then buying it immediately.horcrux_dr wrote:I wasn't such a fan of her either but after noticing how some "luxury" vloggers share fake items such as Lailli and Alizey Mirza I can appreciate someone who actually goes into the store and shows us her buying an authentic item.

She wears her bags on high rotation and I get the sense she really does love the purses she owns.
I don't see anything wrong with her taking the time to shop vlog for us - even if it doesn't result in a purchase.
I don't often get to go to these luxury stores so even her filming and trying on the goods is good enough for me to view her videos.
Regarding her job, I don't think any YTer is obligated to disclose where their income comes from. If she's a fan of luxury and chooses to share what she loves on her vlogs - that should suffice. If she hasn't an agenda to pump up her own business to generate profit, why does it matter? I feel everyone has a right to keep private whatever they choose to.
I'm not saying at all that Maria is a sex worker but you also have to consider the ramifications of information as such being public.
Issues of public safety is a core one - and this is fairly obvious how disclosing you're a sex worker can be potentially risky. And I don't think anybody should be prevented from engaging within a social media community just because of what they choose to do with their body.

Re: Maria Draganova
She did so many Zara hauls, I wonder if she bought all that stuff just to show or she really kept those items.
She is always wearing the same clothes on her videos, so why buy that much if she won’t use.

Re: Maria Draganova
In her last video I noticed the Marilyn Monroe tattoo in the exact same spot Megan Fox used to have it? And then she mentioned how she bought stuff because she saw Rihanna and Beyonce wearing it. Youtubers have no originality
