The 12-year-old model taking the world by storm

She’s the latest face to set the modelling world alight, and Ekaterina Perova is starting young – making a name for herself at the tender age of just 12-years-old.

While most girls her age are only dreaming of what their futures hold, the tween has been hard at work, shooting campaigns and building up on her impressive social media base of nearly 50,000 Instagram followers.

In a blog post, Ekaterina reveals how she was born in Russia, but has since settled on Queensland’s sunny shores.

She might be young to be in the modelling world, but it's something she's dreamt about.

“I never was thinking seriously of being a model, but everyone kept on saying that I should do it,” the blog reveals.

“At the age of ten, I was mature enough to understand that I want to become a model and asked my parents to help me with my goal.”
