Rasa Zukauskaite
If it weren't for her sister, Rasa Zukauskaite could still be aiming for a career in engineering instead of becoming the face of Prada.
If it weren't for her sister, Rasa Zukauskaite could still be aiming for a career in engineering instead of becoming the face of Prada.
After her sister submitted pictures to an agency in Lithuania, Rasa Zukauskaite made a major debut on the Spring 2010 runways.
Not only did she walk for Missoni, Alberta Ferretti, Moschino, Prada, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, and Louis Vuitton in her first season, but she snagged the attention of Miuccia Prada and was chosen to be the face of Prada's Spring 2010 campaign.
She also posed in W’s January 2010 issue for "Run of Show," shot by Craig McDean, alongside fellow runway stunners Kate Kosushkina, Madisyn Ritland, Siri Tollerød, Lyndsey Scott, Frida Gustavsson, Elsa Sylvan, Kamila Filipcikova, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Sara Blomqvist, Sharon Kavjian, Katie Fogarty, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Rose Cordero, Lindsey Wixson, Anabela Belikova, Anastasija Kondratjeva, and Shu Pei.
One of four children, Rasa lands in the middle of two brothers and her sister. Though she has her sister to thank for all the success she's found already, her career in fashion is a far cry from what she had originally had in mind for her future: Rasa had dreams of becoming an engineer. While those dreams have been put on hold for now, Rasa makes sure to spend any downtime she has on her passion: photography.
