Anna Bihas started her modeling career by accident. About two years passed after that incident, when the girl realized that she liked modeling. What is the probability of being invited as a model to a fashion show in a small town in the South of Italy without knowing Italian? This is the question Anna asks herself after her first modeling experience. She remembers only the music and the dress from her catwalk debut. But the rest details from this event such as the venue she almost forgot. Emotions and impressions after the fashion show were so ingrained in Anna’s memory that the temptation to repeat such moments again has been prevailed.

As a result, the young Ukrainian girl in Italy started looking for the ways in developing her modeling future. According to the girl, her participation in beauty contests was shaped her as a professional model. As Anna says: «No modeling courses or trainings won`t teaches you, what beauty pageants could teach you, especially if they are international. Overcoming internal taboos and «I don’t want to», the ability to fight for your place under the sun — such skills from beauty contests will be useful not only in modeling, but also in everyday life.»

Already as a professional model, Anna took part in the international pageant Miss Europe Continental. For her, this was one of the most important moments, as she represented the country where she was born — Ukraine. Prior to that, at beauty contests the girl represented Italy, where she lives. It was a very bright show, the competition gave the girl a lot of experience and a

lot of impressions, including many friends and acquaintances. After this beauty contest, a lot of new model work was added for Anna.

The favorite topic of conversation with Anna is about the mountains! The girl doesn`t like to flaunt conquered peaks and goals. She doesn’t go to the mountains for that. «In the mountains, you rise or fall more inward distances to release emotional toxins, overcome your comfort zones and fears. The mountains are very charged with their energy». — says Anna. She recommends everyone to visit minimum once those natural miracle.

For both beginner and professional models, Anna advises not to lose own personality in any case. Anna’s favorite brands are the ones she has worked with, opened and closed their shows more than once.

After three different photographers noticed Anna’s acting talent, she decided to try herself in the theater. She was interested to understand: who is she, a model or an actor? Since then, she devotes all her free time to teaching acting to various coaches and schools.

As Miss Bihas says about this: «In general, I recommend everyone to do theater. It’s not just about becoming an actor. Theater in general allows you to get to know yourself and listen to others better. You learn to listen and speak. And most importantly — you understand that every person, including you, has dark sides that you need to put up with».

In addition to the above, Anna is also an active participant in the eco-project, which involves people in the form of games not to pollute the environment with plastic.
