According to the director of the OK-models agency Olga Kryukova, the qualifying round was held at a high professional level. Events of such kind are rare in our country, she said. "This was not a beauty contest, so we could not predict who would win since the organizers were focusing on trends in the modeling industry. Models that have passed into the final possess interesting features and can work abroad. They have every chance to sign lucrative contracts," she said.
