The Woman Who Made Fashion Elegance Anna Karta GRACE AND POWER M
odern version of Princess Grace Anna Karta needs no introduction as one of the most celebrated and prolific Model of our time and with over 2million solid followers in social media, there’s something to be said for. Instantly recognisable, her face, personality carve a fine line between sensuality and pure, unadulterated fun. They are charged with a certain kind of hyperkinetic energy that teases both the subject and the observer.
Excitable and articulate, with a tremendous smile that threatens to take over and a laugh that comes from the depths of the belly yet subtle, you can’t help but be excited by the inspired beauty. Whether she realises it or not, she is often the most magnetic person in the room.

At the age of 16, I won one of the prestigious award in modelling industry and was immediately signed up to appear in the biggest Fashion Catwalk called “Wild Orchid” which is an equivalent to Victoria Secrets.

I also tell my children that being kind not only to the planet but to each other. No doubt, if you are kind they will go far.
