WOMEN TO WATCH: Alena Samoshkina
“We were casting a few years ago for a Little Joe Woman shoot
when Alena Sampshkina who’s from Volgograd, Russia caught our attention. She’s obviously tall, very striking with beautiful bone structure and an amazing body but she also had a calmness and kindness about her that I found interesting. We shot with her and have continued booking her for many campaigns as she has a cool attitude in front of the camera, is super professional and has a perfect look for our Little Joe Woman brand and I’m excited to be able to include Alena in our WOMEN TO WATCH series of strong, confident and beautiful women. ”

How did you meet Gail Elliott?
I met Gail on our first shooting for Little Joe Woman. Although we had a very early 7am call-time, it was a super hot and sunny day in Bali and I remember we shot a lot of styles. I really liked how the style of this brand looked on me - I feel I ‘get’ the look of her designs.
What’s your favourite beach?
My favourite beach is Thomas Beach in Uluwatu, Bali. It’s more authentic compared to other beaches that have a lot of tourists.

Any favourite Little Joe Woman pieces and why?
I like my zebra maxi dress from Little Joe Woman. I feel very elegant and feminine… and get a lot of attention when wearing it.

Favourite piece of jewellery?
I like ear cuffs. The look is cool and unusual.
Most memorable event or party and why?
For sure it’s the Smile concert in Barcelona last year. I was wearing a Radiohead t-shirt and was standing exactly in the middle just before the stage. Thom looked into my eyes very often and I had a feeling that he sings for me. I’ll never forget it.

Any secret talents?
I hope it’s singing.
Can’t live without?
I can’t live without action. I feel stuck when nothing happens around me so I’m trying to be active and feel life in full spectre.
