Can you tell us a bit about your journey in the fashion industry and what led you to Runway 7?
I returned to the fashion industry two years ago due to a family loss. I stopped and was depressed for 3 years. But I decided to get up and go to the casting and go back to modeling something that made me happy. The first time I participated in Runway 7, Sergey Kir saw my work on Instagram and invited me to participate in the casting in New York. He, who makes paintings with fine arts, was going to participate in Runway 7 with another designer, Exteasy Lingerie. I went to the casting and was selected to participate in Runway 7 in September 2023. After that, I participated in Runway 7 again in February 2024 for Sergey, and the designer Donny’s Angel and Benu Apparel. Lastly, in September 2024 for Sandi’s Angels. I am very proud to have participated in this incredible organization and show of Runway 7.

I don’t do much to prepare for the show, I just don’t drink soda a few days before and I eat healthier. Physically, I only go for walks and I love walking. Mentally, I’m feel very happy to be able to participate and I walk with the energy of the show and the music. Just being in able to be on the catwalk is an inexplicable emotion.

This really means a lot. The show is very good organized. The photographers are very professional. Not to mention that the venue is practically in Times Square at Sonyhall. I think for any model who is just starting out, it is very good to be part of the runway 7.

I think all the shows were exciting moments. The lights, the audience, the photographers, designers, the people who work on the makeup, the organization. Everything is a small contribution until the entrance to the catwalk. The catwalk of this show is always exciting. I love it!!
