Zhenya, originally from Kiev, Ukraine, is now based in New York and has a face that is impossible to forget. She first gained attention through a semi-exclusive show for Victoria Beckham in spring/summer 2017 and has since worked with top photographers like Patrick Demarchelier for Vera Wang campaigns, as well as Luigi & Iango and Matteo Montanari. Represented by leading model agencies, Zhenya is known as a hardworking, positive model who enjoys traveling, sports, drawing, and learning new things.
Her greatest achievements in modeling include walking for Victoria Beckham, Nina Ricci, Hugo Boss, Burberry, Christopher Kane, DKNY, Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Armani, and Hermès. Each milestone reflects her dedication and the strong support of her model agency, which has guided her journey in the competitive world of fashion.
Zhenya’s career began at age 14 in a modeling school, learning makeup, posing, and runway skills. After transforming her physique, she was scouted by one of the top model agencies in Kiev, marking the start of her professional modeling career. Despite her success, she remains focused on hard work, maintaining a positive mindset, and continually improving—core traits that set top models apart.
If she hadn’t pursued modeling, Zhenya would have become an interior designer, a passion she continues to explore. She also admires her mother, a hardworking role model who raised her and her brother on her own, instilling resilience and determination that Zhenya carries into her modeling career.
For this Q&A session, she would suggest fellow model Anastasia Chekry, highlighting the community and inspiration within the world of models and model agencies.
