Julia Lescova is one model we’ve got our eye on this summer! Her story is truly inspiring, what with her humble beginnings in Latvia to her rise on the Los Angeles Hollywood scene.
She recalls, “In the beginning, I was discovered in Latvia and offered to attend a modeling acadamey. Coming from a poor family, I had to support myself and my mother so I started working when I was 15.
It was a very interesting way for me to start working. I loved it. It was kind of exciting for a teenage girl. And then I got to Milan when I was 16 and it wasn’t that easy for a young girl in a foreign country with other little girls.
But it’s fun. It’s nice to learn to be independent from a young age and know how to survive in a foreign country and how to earn money. It teaches a lot of things for a young girl. A lot of life-school, I think. You travel a lot all the time…learn new languages and meet new people and get better at your work.
It’s good to be in a place where you have a challenge. I always want to challenge myself and I always believe in myself. But it’s still a lot of work!”
And there is no doubt that Lescova takes on and rises to challenges. Currently, she says, “I’m just working hard and looking forward to continuing what I’m doing [modeling]. I work all the time as a modeling gracing the pages of top fashion magazines.”
She adds, “I hope that I can do something in acting of course, but I have been working as a model for a long time already. And I’m good at it [laughs].”
It’s safe to say top brand GUESS agrees, considering Lescova has secured a worldwide campaign with them. “I did a lingerie campaign for Asia and Europe [for GUESS]. Kind of worldwide, but in America, the lingerie is not launched. It will be all for catalogue and everything. I’m very excited about it!”
Her sights are set high on other well-known brands, too. Lescova says, “My dream would be to do something like the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated. However, I am really happy at this point in my career.”
Julia Lescova’s go-getter attitude is sure to land her many jobs and help her achieve continued success in this very difficult, demanding, and increasingly popular business.
Her advice to girls and women who hope to follow in her footsteps and make it big? “They should work on themselves a lot and believe in themselves, and find beauty in themselves and develop it.”
Model behavior? More like role model.
