NEW FACE: EVGENIA SIZANYUK (Elite, NY)
In continuation of my series celebrating the new management at Elite New York I recently met up with Evgenia Sizanyuk. We took the 7-train to the Docks at Long Island City overlooking Midtown where I not only discovered a model who is genuinely enthusiastic about making new friends, but also diligent about her craft as a model. She shifted, she walked, and she moved with effortless ease in 4” heels across a stack of rocks that would leave Extreme Sports A-listers jealous.
She took the time to answer a couple of questions:
altamira:Your favorite hero in Real Life?
Evgenia:My mom, because she is strong and kind and very wise.
altamira: If you could be any animal in the world, what animal would you be and why?
Evgenia: A cat, because they are very independent and beautiful and royal
Something Wicked This Way Comes.
Collaborating with the beautiful and wicked stylist Raquel Garcia for the latest issue of Metal Magazine. In the spirit of Nature Punk issue we got in the car with our tiny gang and drove upstate ny. For many punk-related reasons we ended up doing the shoot in the middle of the darkest night, so dark we had to find our way around by touch and gather sticks to make a fire, which became our main source of light. It was something like out of Lord Of The Rings..
