Who:

Maya Bondarenko, 180 cm / 5’11”, Ukrainian, born October 13th.

Why:

With her ridiculously long legs and delicate dolly bird beauty, Odessa girl Maya was scouted at a model school in 2013. Currently in Paris for the shows, she has worked extensively in Tokyo in the past year, shot a lookbook for Yohji Yamamoto, and will next be off to Milan and New York. Years of dance training gives Maya grace and an ability to harness her coltish energy on the catwalk — and, recently finished with school, this multi-talented miss has mastered English, Ukrainian, Russian, as well as a little Italian, can play piano, and is currently learning how to paint like a professional. Deceptively sweet looking, this girl has enough edge to pump up the interesting factor. Maya is no maybe – this girl is the real deal.
