Green Dress - Design and Concept By: Maria

Maria says:

“After I discovered the sound of
violin, gradually I recognized that I
am more careful about how I
dress, how I look and how my
outfit can look like.

This is one of the reasons why my
mother decide to submit my
application to WIP Model
Academy by I&B where I can
develop my skills as a model as

designer.


I am extremely happy to discover
every day that I truly love fashion
