Ira Koshevarova photo Fedor Bitkov style Sasha Khloponina makeup Sasha Nikitina

From the very first appearance at the agency the student of Vaganovskoye Ballet Academy Ira Koshevarova has not given anybody a single chance to hesitate in her. Artistic and livable, blue-eyed natural blond with slick moves, opened sight and just inimitable smile of a sneaky teenager. That’s what we saw back then.

After just a season Ira is one of the most promising young models with tens of interesting shots and commercial jobs stacked in portfolio and bright perspectives lying ahead. And though this smile has gained the ability to strike the hearts of unsuspecting guys with the light speed (and the power of a bomb), very luckily it still remains the same - inimitable.

Masha Melnikova photo from the model's portfolio

This amazing 15 year old girl had started her modeling career at very tender age in a land of sunshine far, far away. When arrived to St. Petersburg she didn't want to waste a time and with her mother's blessing quickly took the (right) decision to join LMA Models. And there she was.
Few months passed and Masha has already walked all the major shows at Aurora Fashion Week. Plus V&R show. Plus Antonio Marras show.
So far so good. Things and hopes become true. And we deeply believe that everything's gonna be just great for this truly beautiful, green-eyed girl.
She's got everything what's needed for that now.

The founder of one famous sport clothing brand Adolf Dassler couldn't even have dreamed of publishing such ”politically incorrect” image while starting his company. The moment in time wasn't just right. Luckily, we can. And sure we'll be okay with that.

Of course we stand for healthy way of life with no cigarettes-and-stuff. No doubt about that. But how often one can find even a bit of irony in the model tests these days? Not very often I guess. It is all gone “too serious”. So, we respect the guys who still have it.

My only regret we wouldn't be able to make a campaign out of this shot. The moment in time isn't just right again.

We wish you all the best luck, Katya!

Katya Ryabinkina photo Fedor Bitkov makeup Yulia Kunitsyna for LMA Fashion School

Every turn in LMA Fashion School brings us several great new faces. No exceptions so far.

Katya has joined the School being just a young and beautiful girl and graduated as fully professional model having several important shows walked, some interesting commercial jobs done and the contract with the best model agency in St. Petersburg signed. Well done.

We know it is not the set of dry numbers on the model agency's site that makes a girl a model. A good model. It is how she converts those numbers into fine images, how close she puts on the characters later to be revealed in front of the camera or on the runway. It is how she can handle the blessing of being born beautiful.

The greatest heights are still to conquer, the biggest challenges are still to be taken. But we're sure, Katya is going to make it all. There were no exceptions so far.

Nastya Alexeeva photo Fedor Bitkov style Sasha Hloponina

It's a great job to introduce new faces. Especially those like Nastya, a young and super-nice girl, who has decided to build herself as a model and did it in the right time (and, we're sure, in the right place).

A model's career is not the movement of planets: the laws of Nature and physics do not work there. As we all know success is often unpredictable thing to happen and greatly depends on many, sometimes not so clearly visible factors.
But from the ancient times one key requirement always remains the same: great images in portfolio. And this is sure a good start, Nastya. Keep your spirit going, keep working with the good photographers and there'll be not much to worry about.

We wish you good luck!

The pop-up show. Leonid Alexeev Homme, St. Petersburg.

2011-05-24T17:29:00.000+04:00

Unfortunately, it didn't happen for St. Petersburg to become the second Milan.

But the chance for becoming the second London, as it were, with a certain luck still remains. And though counting the "official" Fashion Weeks London is already far behind, speaking of the unconventional show formats Petersburg has still pretty long way go.

Our project LMA Presents: has gladly supported Central St. Martin's graduate Leonid Alexeev in his endless effort to establish St Petersburg as a fashion capital where the tradition of having unannounced, spontaneous and almost "pirate style" shows has a long history.

Thank you, Leo, for your talent, energy and enthusiasm, LMA Presents: for its ultra-fast and professional management, our beloved sponsors for understanding the moment, the models for doing their job great and for all, all the guests at the show, who looked like as if Milan has finally happened.

It wasn't even a bit of a surprise for us that designers have fallen in love with young Jane. And, frankly, why shouldn't they have? Interesting face, gracious moves, extraordinary serious attitude towards work and apart from modeling rather than a "sweetheart" the girls like Jane have never been called.

Here comes the shoot for Tatiana Parfyonova's new collection and knowing who Tatiana Parfyonova is in St. Petersburg one can only say that this is nothing but success. Great job, Jane!

Late spring. May. The Nature blossoms. Not sure, but quite possibly this is the reason why so far this month has been one of the richest in terms of new faces.
We're getting great rookies this year and enjoying working with them. We wish them all to build great modeling careers, hoping they'll do their best and we're glad to present them here.

Meet Vadim Simkin. Athletic, fresh and young and very, very confident boy who has just signed up with the agency. We wish you, Vadim, a pleasant journey.
