Creator Spotlight: Karina Dunaeva
Creator Spotlight of the Week: Karina Dunaeva(@karinium)Can you tell us a little about yourself?"I always was a creative, artistic person and I never wanted to pursue a normal career like lawyer or doctor. Since there is no University for models I found myself in filming videos :D I always enjoyed the opportunity to express myself and right now I'm studying film in college. I always found myself more equal with people that relate themselves to fashion industry. I have always wanted to be a model since I was a child, I remember myself watching first seasons of ANTM and thinking that one day when I grow up I will be there too, but I never really got support from my family since they were raised in Soviet Union they didn't believe that being a model means something in this life, but I have changed their mind since that time ;) At age of 15 I left Russia and moved to America alone by myself to start my modeling career. I have come a long way from Russia to Toronto, then to Los Angeles and right now I live in Miami and perusing my dreams!"What inspired you to start a fashion Instagram channel?"When I started my Instagram blog I never thought I would reach interest of so many people.
