Meet Kseniia Dubovitskaia

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kseniia Dubovitskaia.

Unlike most girls, Ksenia Dubovitskaya never dreamed of becoming a model. Although she got a lot of compliments about her look and people told her that she should be a model, Ksenia doubted that with her small height of 168 cm, compared to most models, she could be successful as a model. But you never know what life is preparing for you. In a couple of years, from a girl that spent hours on castings waiting for a job, Ksenia turned to one of the most successful Russian models in America.

She appeared on the covers of Cosmopolitan, Maxim, Numero, commercials for Garnier, Oreal Skincare, Gillette, Benefit, Coca-Cola, Volkswagen, Suzuki, Microsoft, Bosh, Honda Financial, Jacobs Coffee, Burger King, KFC, Lay’s and Bud Light for SuperBowl. She also appeared in music videos for Vance Joy, Chad Rogers, Son Lux, Phantogram, and D.A.Wallach.

Ksenia said: I always was curious in American culture, films, music, I imagined how people were skateboarding in Los Angeles. At some point, it was crystal clear that I had to do anything I could to go to the US. Because I did a lot of commercials my face started to get known. I started to appear in music videos, including such artists as Nickolay Baskov (very popular in Russia) and after that I got a massive campaign for Garner L’oreal.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Casting for Garnier that project was really difficult, also because they wanted a girl 16-17 years old but I was already 25. But they booked me. At that moment, I understood that age is important in modeling but is not always the main factor. There’re a lot of models over 30. Also always was a problem with height but now more and more opportune opens for petite models.

We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I keep going to casting calls, keep working on myself as a person, because here in America it’s so important to not just being a model but also talk to people and have different hobbies. I ride a skateboard, do yoga and pottery, take acting classes and constantly working on my English and my accent. Surely enough, Instagram is very important nowadays. My IG account grew consistently after my appearance in commercials. Because people started to follow me I started to pay more attention to it. I also have my YouTube channel. I already uploaded three videos there and they got a solid number of views.
