Alina Baikova’s path to success, from a waitress to a famous top model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alina Baikova was born to a modest family in the Ukrainian city of Kropyvnytskyi. From a young age, the girl wanted to earn money independently, so she started to work as a waitress with a salary of \u20ac10 per month right after school. The model said that like all her peers, she wanted to continue her study. But she didn\u2019t manage to enter the university on a state-financed form of learning and couldn\u2019t afford a contract form as well. However, it was the moment when something that would fit perfectly into the plot of the series happened to Alina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of the atelier that was ordered to sew a new waitress uniform for the restaurant, where Alina worked, had her own modeling agency too. She noticed Baikova’s ideal modeling appearance and offered the girl to try that industry. But Alina got worried and refused because she had rather stereotypical ideas about the modeling business at that time. However, when a stranger once asked Alina at a party whether she was a model and started to convince her to give it a chance, Baikova decided to take a risk. The girl believed in fate. So, Alina entered a modeling school and was the only one who was allowed to study for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, Alina Baikova worked in China for three months and expected her next photoshoot in Paris. The girl admitted that it was really scary for her back then, but the desire to be independent and change her life was stronger. There were a lot of work opportunities for the budding model in Paris: fittings, showrooms and shooting for magazines. In 2011, Alina began to work in fashion weeks around the world, including New York, London, Milan and Paris. Sometimes Baikova had two flights a day and an extremely tight schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Alina Baikova got very busy with work, she decided to move to New York and buy an apartment there. The model said that her life changed for the better after moving to a big city. She became more open to the world and feels comfortable and attractive even wearing a casual T-shirt and sneakers. Alina dresses quite simply and doesn’t like to spend a lot of money on clothes because she is sure that it leads to addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical weekday of a model in New York starts at 5 a.m. Alina likes to wake up early even if there is no urgent work because she is afraid to miss the life highlights. First of all, she watches the TV news without which she cannot wake up, answers her work letters and does sports. Baikova does boxing, kickboxing and army training or just goes jogging. The model also is interested in politics and reads The Time, The Economist and The New York Times. At 8 a.m., Alina’s working day begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the insane popularity, Alina Baikova doesn\u2019t forget about charity and her hometown. Sometimes she manages to come to Kropyvnytskyi from New York for a few weeks and enjoys the time spent at home so much. Alina\u2019s New York friends often call her “Mother Teresa” because she always supports various charity projects. The only thing that the top model regrets is that she didn’t get a university degree and constantly underlines the importance of higher education in her interviews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
