 At Elite Model Look we say: “your differences make our world”. What makes you different?

I’m a very hardworking person and I like to get most out of anything I do. My special difference is my desire to achieve. The same is with modelling. From the moment I started, I have this drive to get to the top of my game!

Inspirational quote: "Never give up and follow your dreams!"

Song: Believer by Imagine Dragons

Sport: working out at the gym.

Movie: Harry Potter (2001-2011). It helps me to escape to a magical world.

Model: Naomi Campbell. I really admire her. Her iconic look and style is very motivating.

Where are you happiest?

I am happiest when I am with my family, especially my little brother. He is adorable.

If you could go anywhere in the world – where would you go?

If I had to choose I would go to Australia. I’ve heard a lot about the natural beauty and wildlife, which I would love to experience myself.

How does it feel to represent Georgia at the 35th Elite Model Look?

I am very happy to be able to make my family and friends proud! I tried to apply last year but I was only 13. Elite Model Look Georgia advised me to try next year and here I am! I never thought that I would win, but I worked hard for the whole year to prepare for the Final. I find modelling a great opportunity. I’d like to introduce myself to the rest of the world, and to bring something new from other countries home! It is a huge responsibility and a great honour at the same time. Will do my best to represent my country in the best possible way. I can’t wait to be there and meet all the contestants. Good luck to all of them!

Tell us about Georgia!

Georgia is a small but very beautiful country. To name a few things, it’s got a fascinating history, an ancient language and unique alphabet, traditional songs and dances, delicious food and lots of different climate zones in one place! I’m very proud to represent Georgia at the World Final!
