Beauty contest QUEEN OF KHARKOV 2019
You know what’s truly amazing about beauty pageants? They actually change lives. Not in a fairy-tale way, but in a real, tangible sense — with contracts, travel opportunities, and career breakthroughs. That’s exactly what happened at the “Queen of Kharkiv 2019” pageant, where Prestige Model Agency proved: we don’t just talk about empowering young women — we create real chances for them to shine in the global fashion world.
A Night to Remember
Picture this: stunning stage decor, bright spotlights, twenty-two breathtaking contestants, and a panel of judges whose names alone command respect. Among them — well-known industry experts like Mykhailo Prysiazhniuk, Yuliya Krasna, and Natalia Kovaleva. The organizers didn’t just host a competition — they created an unforgettable event where every contestant felt like a true star.
But this wasn’t just a parade of beauty. The contestants had to show that intelligence and elegance go hand in hand. An intellectual round? Absolutely. Because the modern model is not a mannequin — she’s a personality with ambition, brains, and drive. Prestige Model Agency joined this event for a reason: we look for women ready to grow, to work, and to become the best version of themselves.
The energy that evening was electric. Every contestant knew: her future might change right here. The judges weren’t just searching for beauty — they were looking for spark, confidence, and potential.
From College to the Catwalk
One of the contestants, our very own Ksenia Zhydkova from Prestige Model Agency, was a linguistics student from Kharkiv Pedagogical University who dared to take the stage — and that decision changed everything. Beauty pageants are often the training ground for a real modeling career, and this was one of those defining moments.
Ksenia didn’t win the crown, but she walked away with something far more valuable — experience, new contacts, and unshakable confidence. Walking in lingerie, swimwear, and elegant gowns, she mastered poise, expression, and presence. Every step, every glance, every challenge made her stronger. That’s why we always tell our girls at Prestige: participate! Even if you don’t win, you’ve already taken a step toward greatness — because you dared.
Ksenia made important connections, gained exposure, and proved herself. Many of our models began exactly this way — on local stages where they realized: “Yes, I can. I belong here.”
Life-Changing Prizes
Now, let’s talk about the winner — Lilia Lakishek. The iPhone? A sweet bonus. But the real prize? A contract with Prestige Model Agency London. That’s not just a title — it’s a ticket to a new life.
A contract with Prestige is never symbolic. It’s a full-scale career path — from building a professional portfolio to walking international runways. We don’t just represent our models — we mentor them. Global travel? Check. Editorial shoots for top brands? Absolutely. Fashion Week shows? Definitely. Recognition in the fashion industry? That’s what we work on every single day.
We give prizes like this because we truly believe every woman deserves a chance to shine. We invest our time, network, and expertise to make that happen. Lilia didn’t just win a title — she gained a team of professionals dedicated to her success.
The Real Secret of Success
Here’s our message to every woman dreaming of a modeling career: don’t be afraid of competitions! They are the best way to test yourself, gain exposure, and build confidence. Didn’t win? That’s okay — you gained something money can’t buy: experience. You learned to stand tall, to manage stage pressure, and to express your individuality.
At Prestige Model Agency, we’ve seen hundreds of success stories — and they all share one thing in common: courage. The women who dared to step forward, who didn’t quit after one setback — they’re the ones who become stars. We can provide the tools, guidance, and connections, but you make the magic happen.
The “Queen of Kharkiv 2019” pageant was proof that real opportunities come from real effort. There were no empty promises, only hard work and authentic support. Prestige Model Agency wasn’t just a partner — we were a bridge to new beginnings, helping young women turn ambition into achievement.
So if you dream about runways, photoshoots, and traveling the world — don’t wait for the perfect moment. It’s already here. Step forward, grow, and join the next competition — and we’ll help you become not just a queen of your city, but a queen of the fashion world.
