EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with
Tetiana
Here, we take a deep dive into the career of the modeling life of Tetiana!
How did you get into modelling?
As long as I can remember, I've always been drawn to the fashion world. When I was little, I would stay up late watching Fashion TV, dreaming of one day walking the runway myself.
​
At 17, that dream started to become a reality when I enrolled in a modelling school in
Ukraine. At the time, it cost $200, which was a huge amount of money for my family.
My mum and my aunt believed in me and paid for the course. I'll never forget that
incredible gesture - their support meant everything to me, and I'm still so grateful for it.
Where are you currently located?
I have lived in the UK for 11 years now.
What are your top modelling accomplishments?
Ukrainian Fashion Week,
winning Miss Swimsuit UK 2025 pageant, top 30 in Swimsuit USA, photo campaign
for Hawaiian Tropics, commercial campaign for swimwear brand Lucini London,
working with world-top photographers and videographers, being featured in music
videos and movies.
What publications have you been featured in (magazine covers, catalogues,
billboards, etc.)?
I’ve been recently featured in the latest edition of Elite Magazine
with Swimsuit USA Queen Rachel Pizzolato along with other gorgeous models.
Which brands, designers, or companies have you worked with as a model or
brand ambassador?
Lucini London, Passion bikini by JK, Dot’s Frocks, Oksana
Latt
Have you been involved in any other media such as movies, TV shows, music
videos, podcasts, or web series?
I’ve been featured in 2 movies filmed in the UK,
had music videos shot in Ukraine and a podcast with Rory O’Connor

Are there Events you participated in or hosted recently that you'd like to discuss?
The main event I'd like to mention is the Miss Swimsuit UK 2026 Finals, where I will be crowning the next Queen on 9th August. It's a very special moment for me, as I'll be returning not only as the reigning titleholder but also as a member of the judging panel.
This year, I'll also be part of the official glam team, doing makeup for the contestants in my new role as a professional makeup artist. It's incredibly rewarding to combine my passion for the pageant industry with my makeup career.

What is your primary of focus (e.g., high fashion, commercial, fitness, or print)?
My main goal is to become a versatile model who can work across a variety of industries and styles. I enjoy exploring different areas of modelling and challenging myself with new opportunities.
At the moment, I'm interested in developing in high fashion and commercial modelling. Walking in fashion shows has always been a passion of mine, so I'd love to do more runway work and continue growing as a model. Along the way, I also caught the pageant bug. Competing has given me confidence, discipline, and a platform to grow. After completing my reign, I'm now looking for the next pageant that feels like the right fit for me.
