Ljubav i vera – najveća snaga na ovom svetu – tako top model Elena Kosmina opisuje početak svoje karijere. Otkrivena sa 17 godina od strane Elite Models u Ukrajini, počela je da živi samostalno i daleko od svog doma i porodice od najranijih dana. Kaže da je rano skvatila šta je cena uspeha i pravog prijateljstva.
Rođena u malom gradu u Ukrajini, daleko od sveta glamura, u običnoj porodici, od tinejdžerskih dana je želela da se bavi modom i umetnošću. Isprva, želela je da postane pravnik i živi običan život, ali tvrdi da je Bog imao drugačije planove za nju.
Nakon što je bila otkrivena, počela je da učestvuje na lokalnim izborima lepote. U 2013. godini pozvana je na takmičenje Crno more Top Model gde je postala jedna od 10 najboljih modela. Kasnije, 2015, izabrana je kao jedan od 25 ukrajinskih modela za Top Model of Ukraine od strane TMW i poslata je da predstavlja svoju zemlju na međunarodnom nivou.
Na takmičenju Top Model of the World 2015 postala je najbolji model na međunarodnom nivou među najboljih 50 modela širom sveta. Tako je počela njena priča… Tokio, Pariz, Milano, London, NYC, LA – nikada nije mogla ni da zamisli da će tako da izgleda njen život.
Kao neko ko mnogo radi i konstantno putuje, a uz to i studira, vrlo vrednuje vreme. “Nikada ne odustaj i slušaj svoje srce, poštuj sebe i znaj da si jedinstven”, to je savet koji daje svim mladim ljudima na početku njihovog puta.

“Love and faith – the biggest power in this world” – that how Top Model Elena Kosmina can describe the beginning of her career.
Being discovered at the age of 17 by Elite Models in Ukraine, she started to live on her own and far away from her home and family since young age. She knows the price of success and real friendship. She was born in a small city in Ukraine far from a glamour world in an ordinary family.
Although since teen age she was passionate about fashion and art. Her goal was to become a lawyer and live quite normal life but God had a different plan for her.
After being discovered she started participating in local beauty contests. In 2013, she was invited to the Black Sea Top Model contest where she became one of Top 10 best models. Later, in 2015, she was selected among 25 Ukrainian models as a Top Model of Ukraine by TMW and was sent to represent her country on the international level.
On September 4, at Top Model of the World 2015 she became a best model on the international level among top 50 best models all over the world. That’s how the story has begun…
Tokyo, Paris, Milan, London , NYC, LA she could never imagine living her life to the fullest. Working a lot, traveling around the world meanwhile continuing studying, she knows the value of time.
“Never give up and listen to your heart, respect yourself and know that you’re unique”, that’s advice I can give to all young people who’r just at the beginning of their journey.
