Who:
Valeriya “Valery” Likhman, 175 cm / 5’9″, Ukrainian, born September 11th.
Why:
Ukraine has long been a scouting mecca, and Valery from Kiev is a reminder of why the country is such a go-to for diverse models. With a vulnerable-but-bad-ass allure, Valery was scouted last April whilst volunteering at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Kiev. Understated but with fiery undertones, Valery’s look contains multitudes. Still at school but ready to travel, Valery is eager and easy to work with, fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, German, and English… and just altogether lovely. Once again Ukraine delivers on insane beauty!
