MIKHAEL KALE FW13.

As promised, here are some pictures (and a video) I found of myself walking in the Mikhael Kale FW13 show last week.

The number one question I get asked is: "Sonya how did you manage to walk in those shoes?!" Honestly, it wasn't very difficult. The platform is so high that you don't really feel like you're walking on 9" heels! 

I strongly urge you to look through the other pictures from the show, because the designs are seriously so striking and beautiful. I was dying over the dresses on the other models; they are all so detail-oriented and luxurious in a unique way. 

I'm off to a casting now, and also off to enjoy the sunny weather Toronto has graced us with today!

 Last week I had the amazing opportunity of walking in the Mikhael Kale FW13 show, which would also make it my first "real" runway show ever. I feel beyond lucky to have such an experience, as I can honestly say that I would have never, ever imagined it to be a possibility. Being in a room with so many talented, passionate and experienced people is the greatest inspiration I could ever ask for.

Tomorrow I'll post the pictures from the show.

TODAY.

Today I had my first professional test shoot with a photographer. Not only that though, I also had to get up super early in the morning to rush to my driving school, leave that an hour early, and run downtown for the shoot haha. I only got 4 hours of sleep, and am d-r-a-i-n-e-d to say the least. Nonetheless, I feel like this is a moment worth documenting. It's always interesting talking to people in the industry because their conversations alone are such an inspiration. It's funny though, how whenever I talk to people in the modelling industry they always ask me if I'm going to a casting for ___ fashion week, or if I've traveled anywhere lately, and all I can say is .. *cricket cricket* (nothing). It sucks because there's not much I can do about it. 

When I get the pictures from the shoot I'll definitely show you guys! 

Side note: modelling is difficult. I never assumed it was easy, but it's even harder than I imagined. It's the kind of challenge that gets more native to you as you get more experienced, though.  I have to say, it's an unbelievably fun job and I adore everyone that works in the industry because I feel like I relate to them so easily.

Goodnight! (that was a joke.. I have to write an essay so it will not be a good night unfortunately haha)
