"They say I'm a cat, but, I'm Leon!"
by Maud & Pénélope . posted on May 05, 2009Some girls are like cats, cute and impish looking. Some girls are like tigers, impressive and powerful. Some girls are just neither cats nor tigers, probably a bit of both and you could count Yulia Leontieva within this selective group of models. She told us herself a casting director said to her once she looked like a cat and she didn’t get the point. “They say I’m a cat, but, I’m Leon!”. That’s so true, we can only agree. She’s unique. One of her kind.
She was one of our first Lexposed Faces, she’s one of our beloved models and full-time all-time favorites, she did a splendid season. What else ? Always more. If you really want it, take it slow. This is also true in a model’s life. Things can go faster one day, slower then next one but what you did will remain time after time. Visual memories last longer when they are called Prada, Miu Miu, Givenchy, Hussein Chalayan, Comme des Garçons, Missoni, Jil Sander… Name-dropping could go on forever yet only relies on Milan and Paris runway shows. Good luck and wise decisions walking hand in hand.
Glossy paper loves Yulia as much as we do and what she did so far is close to the best a girl like her can do right now. Amica isn’t Vogue yet Amica is where it all begins. Teen Vogue is already Vogue and is also where the good ones make their first marks. We might just have to cross our arms and watch the way she climbs.
