Ukraine's model Samsonchyk signs exclusive deal with Chanel

KYIV, October 9 /Ukrinform/. Ukrainian model Evelina Samsonchyk signed an exclusive contract with the famous fashion house Chanel, according to the on-line edition paparazzi.ru.

The Ukrainian is the only model in Europe to sign a contract with Chanel on a regular basis: until now only American Cara Delevingne could boast it.

Fashion experts predicted Evelina's brilliant future in the modeling industry 3 years ago. Samsonchyk started climbing the fashion Olympus at the age of 14. She was offered a contract with a modeling agency in Europe, but preferred staying in Ukraine. At her 16 the girl opened fashion shows at Milan Fashion Week, where Evelina presented dresses from Valentino.

The turning point in Evelina's model career was a personal invitation of Karl Lagerfeld, who encouraged her to participate in the Autumn/Winter Fashion Show 2013-2014. After that, the model has been repeatedly seen together with the creative director of the Chanel fashion house: Lagerfeld accompanied his protege at various social events and parties.

"We talked with Karl almost every day... The first acquaintance with him was not easy for me. My knees were shaking. But he is very nice, discreet and a plain man," Samsonchyk noted.
