Shes too cute!!!! Thanks for starting the thread! But I keep reading her name spelled as Viktoryia

 

[Saracita]

^ Isn't she?!

I got way more Google hits with "Viktoria Makhota", that's what the Belarussian pages I found said, so I went with that. But if Ford decided on Viktoryia, perhaps a mod could change the title?

Changed it and if it changes we'll change it. She's something special and my fave from this year's FSotW class too.

the first picture makes me wanna hug her and kiss her. so cute!!

I can't remember where I read it, but apparently she would have won b/c she was better than Sanne, but b/c of her age (15) she didn't win.

Camilla Finn was 13 when she won, supposedly, so VM couldn't have been too young to win.

 

[julesrules815]

^yes, but now that these new guidelines on models are in place, you have to be 16 or older to be in a runway show

 

[Li Ya Fan]

^ I think it could be something to that. Even if 16 limit is just recommendation in NY and not really followed in Europe, it would be bad time for Ford to pick a very young winner now. With all media focus and discussions about too young models.

I think she needs to grow up a little anyway. But she's very sweet for sure.

The Supermodel winners were added to Ford site. She's listed only as Vika.

A little news article. I love she was dead set on winning. No "it's a great experience just to be here" for Vika.

Belarus' Viktoria Makhota comes second at 2007 Ford Supermodel of the World

18.01.2007 10:53

Young Belarusian beauty Viktoria Makhota has come second at the prestigious international contest 2007 Ford Supermodel of the World. The final show took place in New York on January 17. A representative from the Netherlands came first and a Dane landed third, director of Sergei Nagornyi’s Fashion Studio Olga Popova informed BelTA.

She said, 15-year-old Viktoria had every chance to win. “On the eve of the hour-and-a-half-long show Viktoria just like other girls was nervous, but was dead set on winning”, noted Olga Popova. As a result, she did well by overcoming representatives of more than 40 countries. According to the jury panel, the Belarusian competitor’s defile was the best.

Viktoria has been awarded with an opportunity to sign a one year contract worth $150,000, while the winner from the Netherlands can sign a contract worth $250,000.

It should be noted that Viktoria Makhota, grade 9 student of a Minsk secondary school, had not been involved in the modelling business before she won the national elimination round in November 2006.

The director of Sergei Nagornyi’s Fashion Studio stressed, it is the second time Belarus has been a winner of this prestigious contest: 2006 saw Yekaterina Domankova take the first place. According to Olga Popova, it is an excellent result.

Ford Models Agency held the first international contest Supermodel of the World in Monte Carlo in September 1980. Entrants have to be girls aged 14-20, 174-180 cm tall without modelling experience or with not more than two years of modelling experience.
