Alina Jukova @ Image Discovery (Ukraine)

Who said that image and money are two different things ? Well, they are but are that far away from each other ? We guess not and Alina Jukova gave us another clue. Surely, her latest tests from Tokyo are the kind of pieces that keep building the myth of the sleek, (mini) high-fashion model. There might be a commercial edge to the two pieces above yet it's far from being their most striking part. Though, seen as a whole, Alina's young career might be one of the best recent example of how thin the line is between high-end commercial skills and high-fashions talents.

For a girl with a limited height, Tokyo has often been described as a model-heaven, when the tiny young ladies get real opportunities, even a chance to perfect their portfolio and keep their career going beyond japanese borders. Alina is currently in town, under the wing of Switch Models (also looking after Elizaveta Vishnyakova). From her ukrainian debuts with Image Discovery, raw and just discovered, slowly building an image, to the latest jobs she got in Tokyo, Alina's way is both classical and visionary. Not sure if it's totally unusual but perhaps meant to become more usual in a near future.
