Hurdles
As usual, nothing comes easy. In the modeling industry, she faced significant obstacles since she was not able to fit in any category of the looks. She says that the best way she could fit was to create her own brand. In that, the companies would book her, not because she fits in any category but because she was her own brand.
Flying High
The best thing that Kristina Menissov did, and advises upcoming models to do is to create her own brand. That is the right path. She says. Secondly, she says that doing what you are passionate about is the best thing in any business or venture. She could hardly give up because she loved modeling. “It is all about passion, dedication, and commitment.” She says.
Advice to the starters
“Very simple,” she starts, “stop comparing yourself with others.” She advises starting models to be themselves and be honest with whatever they are doing. “Ask yourself if you are doing 100% of what you could have done today. But the key is, to be honest with yourself.” She ends by stressing the need for honesty.
