Early life and background

Dasha Daria Taran was born on 12 October 1999 in Krasnodar, Russia. She grew up near the sea and spent much of her childhood going to the beach. From an early age she showed an interest in drawing and photography, selling her artwork to family friends as a teenager. Dasha speaks Russian, English and Korean; she also studied Japanese in school and has begun learning Chinese. She lists literature, biology, psychology and Russian among subjects she enjoyed and counts Japanese animation directors Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai among her favorite filmmakers.

Career

Dasha began her creative career as a photographer and artist, using online platforms to sell her work. Sharing her photographs and videos online led to a rapid growth in her audience and in 2018 she made her public debut as a social media creator. She maintains an active YouTube channel where she posts vlogs and beauty content.

Her online presence brought international opportunities. In 2019 she was signed by the Korean talent agency Rainmakers and moved to Korea. In February 2019 she was selected as the face of the eyewear label VIEU, with her image displayed at locations across Seoul and other major retail points. Over time she has collaborated with several beauty and fashion companies, including Nature Republic, GANESHI, MAC and L’Oreal Feline. Since 2020 she has been developing her own cosmetics brand.

Dasha has experimented with other creative outlets as well: she recreated Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night in 2016, and has said that if she were not modeling she would pursue photography, film directing or art. She has been open about interest in acting and declined a role in a Russian television series that she felt was too provocative, while noting she would consider professional acting under different circumstances.

Public profile

Dasha’s image is closely tied to beauty, fashion and visual storytelling. She measures approximately 173 cm (5'8") in height and her listed figure measurements and physical attributes contribute to her modeling profile. She has been nominated among notable lists of attractive public figures and has attracted attention for both her aesthetic content and behind-the-scenes creativity.

Her family remains an important part of her life. Her father, Garik Tarano, is described as a content creator, and her brother Stephan (also seen as Stefan) is active on social media; a 2020 video of her brother doing her makeup gained wide attention. Dasha prioritizes her family alongside her career.

Personal life and habits

Dasha identifies as an introvert who prefers a close circle of friends. She follows a non-vegetarian diet and practices intermittent fasting with a 16-hour fast and an 8-hour eating window. Fitness and movement are part of her routine: she aims to be active each day and often reaches 10,000–20,000 steps through walking, in addition to regular gym sessions. She is an animal lover and shares her life with a cat named Zaida and a dog back home in Russia.

Dasha has discussed mental health openly, sharing that she experiences anxiety disorders and works with a therapist. She uses journaling, walking, meditation and work as strategies to manage anxiety. She has also spoken about her strong work ethic and described herself as a workaholic, finding fulfillment in her creative projects.

Interests and preferences

Dasha enjoys drawing, photography and making videos—interests that helped launch her career as a full-time model and influencer. She loves Korean beauty and culture, counts Japan among her favorite travel destinations, and has fandom ties to K-pop from her younger years. Her favorite foods and beverages include Vietnamese pho, water with lemon, matcha and coffee. She favors soft, pastel color palettes as well as black, and has expressed an interest in numerology and astrology, noting a Scorpio rising sign and that she was born in the year of the rabbit.

Latest updates

Since 2020 Dasha has been working on her own cosmetic line while continuing to produce content on her YouTube channel and collaborating with beauty brands. She remains active across photography, visual art and online video, and has left open the possibility of pursuing acting in the future under the right circumstances.
