Anastasia Makarenko is a talented model whose family history leads back to Russia. She grew up in Germany but now lives in LA where her modeling career is flourishing. In the digital age, she had the looks to be scouted by an online booker who was impressed by her on-camera presence. Ever since this breakthrough, she has been a stable feature in various campaigns, including the Armani show in Milan. Yet her photoshoot for Fa deodorant in Portugal was among her most fond memories as a model as it was almost “like a vacation [more] than a job”.

For the moment, Anastasia Makarenko is a full-time model, although she plans to study in the future. Her life in LA includes taking full advantage of the consistently sunny weather all year-round, leading her to outdoor adventures such as hiking and visiting the beach. Whenever she journeys, her trusty dog can be found by her side, although she enjoys many friend circles in the Californian metropolis.

Yet Anastasia is far from a beach bum, with extensive and exciting travel all over the world and collaborating with photographers from all kinds of creative backgrounds. Among these destinations, she fondly recalls that Zurich in Switzerland as one of the “prettiest” cities she has ever seen.
