With her bleach blonde hair and eyebrows, big eyes and high cheekbones, the camera definitely loves Anja Konstantinova. The stunning Russian-born beauty should have the modelling world at her feet, but there is just one small hurdle - her height!
The shortest model at this years RAFW, Anja has had to work extra hard to gain her rightful place in the modelling industry. The 163cm stunner joins fellow famed models Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Zippora Seven as models under the standard 176cm (5'9"). Anja moved to Melbourne at the age of 12, from St Petersburg, after her mother joined the Australian Ballet.
She is currently represented by Priscillas Model Management, and has so far appeared in Oyster, Grazia and an online special for Fashion Gone Rogue.
Anja aims to be the next Kate Moss and overcome her height saying "People in Australia don't accept shorter girls because they are a bit harder to work with, you have to photograph them a certain way".
Expect to see more of this pint-sized beauty as she has been cited as the next big thing to come out of our country. Up next Anja will be featuring in the spring/summer campaign for hot new label 'Mad Love' which I am lucky enough to be attending the photo shoot next week! Keep an eye out for some behind the scenes images...
